Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Ah man, these midis are VERY good! They sound just like the originals, only midified. Some instruments should be louder than others so it sounds more accurate, but they’re great nonetheless.

I agree. The tempo’s a bit off, but it’s very good otherwise. It sounds like the original, but it could use some work. Nice first tune, though.

Midi’s are becoming the rage it seems. Midi’s everywhere! I guess I’m gonna review this to get it over with… I’m sure nobody will come after me ;p

Melody
Ok, how am I gonna say this? Melody’s complete, but one thing totally ruins the usefullness of this midi: the tempo is irregular. Lemme expand on that: the tempo of the different parts are out of whack: one part speeds up while another slows down. Result: a song that doesn’t know when to speed up or to slow down. Also, some parts come a tick too soon or late. Tip: Next time, pick a higher rate so there’s more room for more notes in a single second.

Instruments
(Just a quick reminder, I’m using the GS wavetable) That’s the only good thing about this song. Having the classic piano playing in the background (kinda like the original Crysilis, and yes, it’s spelled without an “h”) is a great touch, but the rest of them are fairly standard instruments, except for the tuba.

Verdict
Good idea, badly executed. Mainly the irregular tempo makes this song’s rating drop dramatically. I’d recommend if it didn’t have that problem. For now, it’s worth a lousy 5. If the tempo problem’s fixed: a 6.5 to a 7.

[edit: tempo problems are for the most part fixed, but some parts still sound off tempo: they either come a split-second too soon or too late. Their individual tempo are mostly regular tho. Given the tracker tried to fix, I’ll raise the rating a notch. Original rating: 5][This review has been edited by JelZe]

Ok, here’s a set of… 17 midi’s! Of course there are a couple of doubles with different instruments. Just for your pleasure I’ll note down the songs made into midi’s and the amount:

- World Complete: 2 midi’s (a GM and XG version, whatever those may be)
- Candion: 2 midi’s (same thing as above)
- Exoticus/HH94 bonus stage: 2 midi’s (ditto)
- Pezrock: 1 midi
- Medivo: 7 midi’s (different versions of the seperate midi’s. Be warned tho, in GS one instrument may get stuck during the whole song in some of them)
- Tubelectric: 3 midi’s (different versions yet again)

TaZaR, did you download them from www.vgmusic.com? That’s where you can find the very same midi’s.

They don’t sound bad in the Microsoft GS Wavetable, some sound even good (Tubelectric rules!). If you’re gonna using them somehow, be aware that some have other midi drivers and therefore some midi’s will sound absolutely horrible in them.

Nice lvl
(Unsupported rating removal. What makes this level “nice”? Possible features to discuss include eyecandy, gameplay, placement, originality and level design. Original rating 7.0. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Ammo placement: 2.2 of 2.5 great ammo placement! But its really irritating with the seekers.

eyecandy: 2.5 of 2.5 it look so nice. so cool idea!!

originality: 3.5 of 5.0 so original with the eyecandy!

overall 2.2 + 2.5 + 3.5 = 8,2

GREAT!!

This thing is great, sounds awesome, althought I think you should make the song loop around 1 or 2 more times.

Whatever, Unknown, because I liked it, I can’t rate it the way I want to? Fine a 8.5 then.[This review has been edited by Rapcore]

I think there’s not problem with the sound. Use good midi canvas! =)(GS, GM or XG) All midi will be much better!

Well, what can I really say? Some of the files are badly labeled, so I can’t really tell what part of JJ1 they are from. They are really horrible sounding, but no blame goes to the author, as I know already that midi is a piece of crap format, I’ll probably check out Acld’s midi uploads.

I’m sure a lot of people will use these MIDI files for their websites to annoy visitors to death.

ncie job Satan

i berly see any new D#mn levels

flow : petty nice the flow lives ! MUHAHAHAHA Lol well nice flow lol

eye candy: nice backround ! nice use of tthe tiles

music : it Evily Becuz the tileset is evil the music need to be Evil too ^_

Powerup: EWWW A SEEKER UP !! i hate seekers

1st idea when i entered

Cool !!

Over All a Fun level too play

down load: yea
Host: if you like it what is a level if you dont like it?

If I was relatively new to JJ2 and I was entering a contest, I wouldn’t submit a level that uses a game mode I’m unfamiliar with. But that’s irrelevant. Here’s my review:

GAMEPLAY:

I can’t say I like the gameplay. The flow isn’t that good in a lot of places, and the level doesn’t look all that balanced. The routes from base to base seem rather restricting. The start positions need work. The Jazz Level Start event allows blue team too easy access to red team’s flag. Moving on, the maze-like routes and the long empty straightaways at the bottom of the level were my least favorite parts.
I also found the thing that animates at pos 32,41 to be an unnecessary obstacle.

EYE CANDY:

I found the tiles in layer 1 to be pretty annoying. In the other layers, the eye candy is about as plain as can be in 90% of the level. There are a few innovative uses of eye candy here and there, but it’s not an excuse for all the places that have almost no eye candy whatsoever.

CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:

The two +1 carrots and the four useful powerups are placed much closer to red base than blue. These should’ve been placed around the entire level. A full energy carrot or two should’ve been used instead of the +1 carrots. Ammo wasn’t distributed evenly as well, which can be seen in the vast empty spaces throughout the level. Also, the ice ammo and powerup seem to be a pointless addition to this level.

HOST THIS OFTEN?

Nope. Not the worst first CTF level I’ve seen. The theme of the level is the best part IMO. Still, gameplay is the most important part of any level, so 5.7 is my rating.

Dead ends have to be in the kinda maze, and I didn’t told you okay okay i will, but I told u That getting stuck in the moving wall is what you have to do to get to the other side…

BTW, Powerups like 3way and SeekersPU are not really good in this kind of lvls. You are dead before you know it with those PU’s… Or is that what you want then!!?

EDIT1: Okay… But don’t make a discusion about it here…[This review has been edited by wadledee]

Hey.

Lissen wadledee. i told you FIX THE DEAD ENDS AND THE BUGS AND THE EYECANDY THINKS . but you said: Oke oke i will. But you did’t. so the rating may be low.

Eyecandy

Bad. you must you layer 6-7 for mountains ( Thnx Labratkid :P ) and some other stuff, ther included with the tileset. The other eyecandy is little bit good.

Gameplay

Many bugs. Dead ends and i dont like it. its very easy for spaz and hard for jazz and lori.
You can get stuck at some places ( i told to place some warps )

Ammo/Goodies/Other(s) placed

Kinda bad. i found some ammo but no really nice powerups placed. No coins???
… Next time place.

Its nice for your first one. My first one really suck. anyway
fix the bugs and reupload to get a higher rating from me.

5.9 >>>>> 6.0

Download reccomed: No
Host this: Better not

Dx

The level was basically for demostration purposes only. In other words, it was kinda meant to suck, as I didn’t try to make it all that great.

The one sucker tube thing where you simply go around part of the level was designed to make you idle for 3 or 4 seconds, so you’d have a breather.

And the powerups were meant for the ‘boss’, read the readme. :P

-ThO

First time reviewing in a while.

Eyecandy – Poor
It’s not all THAT bad… it gets the job done. Layer 4 has very meager eyecandy. Just platforms, basically, and a glowing catwalk thing with glowing portal things under it. Layer 3 has some sucker tubes in it. All of the background layers have various pipes and other eyecandy tiles in them. Not all that original, but I’ve seen worse.

Gameplay – Poor
Very small level with very evil gameplay. It’s very easy to get stuck, and lots of places have no one ways where you would think there would be a one way, and vice versa – some places have one ways and you don’t know why the heck they have them. The sucker tube system is very annoying. It’s way too fast, and some sucker tubes simply take you around part of the level, then spit you back out in the same place (it makes the level look a bit bigger, I’d also have to say =P). As for the flow, it’s pretty non-existant. As for the concept, I don’t 100% understand it, but if I’m correct in my understanding, it’s not bad at all. Kind of confusing, still… there will be lots of misunderstandings when this is hosted.

Ammo placement – N/A
Kind of confusing. But there are lots of powerups and fastfires.

Anyway, review ends here, I have to go.

No big download reccomendation, but the concept is interesting and you might want to take a look at it.[This review has been edited by labratkid]

Heyy I don’t know what to say! This is the best mulpiplayer jj2 program ive ever seen.
It is bug free, has a easy-to-understand interface and a minimum of features.
So, I give it a 10!

[q]I seem to not be able to use this program. I get an error every time.
It says Quote:
System Error &H8007007E (-2147024770). The specified module could not be found.
Do I need some special Runtimes?[/q]

No, I think you will have to format C: and reinstall Windows… Because this may be a permanent error.

(POST PIGGYBACK: I SERIOUSLY recommend against formatting for such a minor error. Try Googling around. You may have to not include the error number in case it is variable. -Trafton)[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

I hope it’s not a problem but I don’t really the TIMM tracks, but this one (like the Letni RMX) is really nice piece! =)
Samples: New beat samples + few extras to the melody + few new & good effects.
Beats: There’s a new beat, which is really nice, but the bass drum can be more sharper I think. There are very good beet changings, like at the starting of the track.
Melody: There’s the original “Dü-dü-dübdüb” sound which is good to keep the original feeling of the track. There are few new effects (we could hear them in AcId’s remixes), which I really like.
Overall: If you’re like the JJ music you must download it! =) Good track, new beat, metallic tech-effects, different track structure & piano like instument added to to the melody… I like it! =)[This review has been edited by TaZaR]
