How did you like Jazz Advance?
Well? How did you like that game?
Personally, I thought it was okay for a GBA game, and terrible for a Jazz game. I'm sorry Cliffy, I know you've tried to put heart into this and revive the Jazz hype, but creating a cheap Star Wars ripoff, and neglecting the entire history the previous Jazz games have put down, is not the right way. Rather then putting a bunch of people on it who didn't know (-)(-)(-)(-) about Jazz, you should have tried to round up the original team instead. I'm sure Noogy would have been jumping to help, and probably the others as well.
But this, this just isn't Jazz Jackrabbit anymore. Where's the blaster? The launcher? Where's Spaz? Where's Eva and Devan Shell? Instead we get the crappy realistic weapons and the new Han Solo Jackrabbit versus Darth Shell and his army of Turtle Stormtroopers.
What you should have done is look at the story Jazz3D put down. The story where Devan Shell would kidnap Jazz's kids and use their dreams against him. The story where a new character, Razzamatazz, would make his introduction. But instead you shoved this all off the table and went with a stupid Star Wars ripoff.
As for Jazz's new clothing, you said Link and Mario also had these changes, but for Mario it was necessary because he was moving from 8-bit to 16-bit. Jazz Jackrabbit looked fine, he didn't need a clothing change. He already looked awesome and I don't know what you were thinking.
I'm sorry if I upset your feelings or anyone else's with this topic, but Jazz Advance makes me puke, and in my opinion, all it does is take a huge giant piss on Jazz Jackrabbit's tombstone.
One thing is for sure, if I ever release a Jazz fangame, it will have a sequence showing Jazz sleeping somewhere and dreaming about Jazz Advance, then saying: "Wow, that was the most terrible dream ever". Because this entire game deserves a big fat retcon.
Now tell me what you other fans think of this game.
