Alright, I hate the sprites too. Jazz is simply not Jazz without his bandana, and the whole Dark Shell and Jazz's blaster makes me want to personally e-mail whoever in the world is making this game (even though I know it would do nothing).

But here's how I'm gonna look at it...we all say that Jazz looks much much younger, I agree, and so I thought HEY! At the end of Jazz 2 don't Jazz and Eva get married? And so perhaps this new look is actually Jazz and Eva's offspring, Jazz the Second, Royal Prince of Carrotus. Okay, it's farfetched and likely false, but still...and this doesn't help with the SW rip at all.

I can almost imagine how they would get the idea of making Jazz into a SW rip, though. Look at Jazz 1, before every couple levels when you are going to a new world there is a plannet with a name, and you're flying through space battling...in a sense it's a lot like SW. And as harsh as it is, Jazz 1 was basically a Sonic rip for PC (which was what got me started on Jazz in the first place). So we could get some SW loving people who play Jazz for GPA, and so they find the PC games on EBay or something, and they get those, and hey, maybe we'll get some fresh faces with some talent in level making and good at online play. Or maybe we'll get a bunch of idiots, who knows? We'll get n00bs either way.

The only thing that really irks the shibby out of me is this will further delay the coming of the source code. Crazy. Where is Nick, Noog, Arjan, and Cliffy? Curses.
