I don't know what you mean that JJ2 was supposed to have a different intro cutscene. I do know that the other menu pics of Jazz and Spaz were completed before Lori came out, but why not put Lori there then? Dean Dodrill did Lori animations, but why? I mean, that's cool. I like Nick's and Dean's styles. Nick's I guess I like more for the Jazz games though, since he was in at the beginning. Jazz started with Nick's style, so I think he's better suited for these characters. But obviously Dean Dodrill is awesome and really talented too. I can't help but wonder what Lori would look like if Nick drew her then.

Nick's "press fire" and box cover art for JJ2 does look "rough", but his drawings don't always look like that. Look at the animated characters in JJ2. Jazz and Spaz look just as cartoony as Lori, and Spaz is the wackiest kind of cartoony. So, Lori would probably have looked like that anyway.

I guess the way Lori was put into the series kind of makes sense since TSF didn't even come with a manual (not even on the CD), and TSF and CC were like small stand alone "add ons" to Jazz2 rather than a real sequel, and didn't release anywhere but Europe. I'm so glad I was able to get copies from Haze. And then I find out that TSF is free to download somewhere!
