For those who do not want to read, here's the post in a sarcastic nutshell:
Lists about JJ1 are serious business!!

It is, but it makes it look far more pompous or like you're trying to sell me JJ1 when it looks like you merely say "It's better because" without the "I think". Also, such things as music are not really debatable as such debates will always end in stalemate, and if that was the intention of the list, they should not have been included.

No. You said "The single player levels are more fun in general", and like I said, fun does not always amount to quality. I find fun in watching movies that are so bad they're "good" but in the end, the movies are still crap.
By listing 1 separate from 2 (and before it no less), it still looks as if you're taking a quantitative look.

It'd be best to name two bugs that majorly affect gameplay not any random one that pops into your head.
I think you mean the masking, not clipping. Once again, I'm sure clipping is a term reserved for 3d games.

Even if it didn't, you could still find scans of it online.

Depends on the emulator I guess, but when I run JJ1 in dosbox the audio takes a serious hit and lags terribly.

Many levels require the special moves to acquire secrets and the like, and have since become quite intergrated in the JJ2 level making experience. Remember if we're going to take JJ2 into account we must take into account all of the user levels as well.

In this case, adding to the gameplay is not an opinion. It's rather a choice of whether or not you want to take advantage of what they add to the gameplay.
Different ammo types do add to the gameplay, especially in multiplayer. This is not like if Jazz had a honk command that did nothing whatsoever. That is a case of whether used or not, honking adds nothing.

I did not mean that when I said pictures. The comic does not fall into the same file as cutscenes, they fall into the same file as renders or concept art placed in manuals, strategy guides, advertisements, or box art.
