They can duck, call for help, escape from Jazz when he prepares a grenade (carrot-looking grenade, don't worry), and orange turtles can make a funny sounding warcry to make all turtles charge at you. Oh yes, I found another fact that makes Jazz Advance Jazz - tons of enemies. Got that?
He's hardly sarcastic imho, at least, not in the same way as before. Instead of having the "Shoot first, ask later" attitude, he's more of...a pansy. There's actually only 1 gun bigger than him really - his default blaster was built for babies or something. The action is hardly quicker than JJ1 or JJ2 - JJ1 had blisteringly fast racing through the level to beat the time-limit on turbo-mode. JJ2 had all out sugar-rushes and racing straight through enemies. JJGBA has "Ok, run slowly, jump and shoot that guy there, oh wait it's not working press the buttons again, wait for the animation to finbish to execute next move". And the AI is irrelevant. I could put a green rabbit in UT2K3 and say "oh it has a green rabbit it's Jazz and isn't it so cool the AI is 1337" they can dodge and have team-mates help and escape when you have a 'Deemer and make funny noises when you shoot them". Oh yes, if having tonnes of enemies makes Jazz Jazz, I suppose serious Sam is Jazz?

It's not that it's not a good game, quite the contrary, it is fairly good. But the fact of the matter is, it's NOT JAZZ.
