Jazz Jackrabbit Advance leaves some of us in a weird position. This is a new chance for this licence to gain popularity and money again. There's no doubt that Star Wars is popular - hey I love Star Wars. Maybe this is the look they decided on to get some attention - to get some popularity to the series. Maybe the move was risky, and I would have liked a different new look or the original one. But Jazz fans know about this game now, and hopefully it will get enough marketing so other gamers know about it.

THEN we'll all get to see whether or not the gameplay measures up. I mean, the screenshots show that there is dialog in this game. Could that mean a story withen the game? Could that mean hints at solving puzzles if there are some in the game? This could be really interesting. And dare I say it, this could be really fun to play. I'm sure Game Titan knew the risks of not only choosing a different look or theme for the game, but actually making a new Jazz game is risky because of the money losses from before. But Jazz games are fun and have great characters and animation. So why did they not do well? Poorly marketed - that's all. Jazz is a cool licence. I'm sure Game Titan realised this and I hope they are prepared to do what needs be to make sure the game does well. But, we are not prepared to go and market it for them when we have no idea what the game will be like ourselves.

It's just wait and see. But while we wait, it'd be good to not spam Game Titan and constantly exclaim "Fixors..." you know the rest. What kind of weird language is that anyway? Geek language?

Oh and as for the game industry - the majority of game players are NOT children. That's the stereotype we'd like to rid of the industry. Games are suitable for many ages, and the majority of game players are between the ages of 15 and 30 if I remember the statistics I read in my game class in college a few months ago. That's teens and young adults. Many games these days are made with a Teen or Mature rating as well.

Actually, yeah! That's what Jazz needs! Not a new look so much, but a new attitude! Maybe baddies should spill blood and maybe Jazz should get weapons that look different, but all still are a metamorphasized version of the blaster. I would like this better than the one gun getting different ammo only.
