I liked the game. Lets go down the list:

The Story So Far - Jazz is on his final mission, he's ready to finish the job and take his retirement early, so this should be a quick game, right? Well, after finishing his job, he gets a call from Margsley, the chief rabbit of R.A.B.T. telling him that he still has another mission to go, but theres a big reward for him at the end of the run.

Graphics - The cutscenes have a comic book look to them, which is good, unfortunatley thats all it is, cutscenes, sure there are parts where the sprites go in play, but you have to give the developer credit, its better than nothing telling the story.

In the game, people may not like the new look of Jazz, but the good part is, all of the characters move with fluid animation, and the levels do look good. But sometimes the camera makes it a little hard to see, but it doesnt hinder the gameplay much at all.

Sound - I'd probably say the guns sound the best, and the music is catchy, its too bad that the game seems like that its missing sounds, when a Chameleon thwomps Jazz, there's no thud or anything, maybe a splat, but thats it. The sound is missing a little in my opinion.

Gameplay - You've probably heard it earlier, the game doesnt quite play much like the PC titles. THe game is now more like a game of Contra, thats not a bad thing at all. Your getting plenty of the treatment, loads of weapons to collect, carrot grenades to throw, plus the enemies are now a lot smarter than the PC enemies, they can now throw bombs, duck and shoot, or even kick Jazz if he's right next to him. This may take away some of the arcade feel, but it is definatley needed for Jazz than his easy-to-execute enemies from Jazz 2.

Lastability - There are 4 difficulty modes and Single and Multi-cartidge link, so even if your friends dont own a copy of Jazz, you can still enjoy some of the multiplayer, plus there are levels for multiplayer to unlock in the Single Player game, but if you dont like the new age for Jazz, you may/may not want to steer clear of this title.

I'm definatley getting this for myself, but I'll have to give this game a 3 out of 5.
