Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

So we have Jazz Jackrabbit Advance Title Mix. Do we have to be happy?

For firstly, I don’t like JJA title. It’s unproffessional, with really bad rhythm, bad melody, if there is any. So my review can be quite biased.

We have some kind of rock remix here. Guitar lead is okay like almost all samples. Rhythm is 100 times better than in original, we have nice loop here.

Whole song is very different from original, I see there was some work on it.

But I don’t think it’s so much better than original. There are too much loud, it sounds whole more than music like some sound effects from sci-fi movie…

(+) Samples
(+) Rhythm
(-) Hurts ears
(-) Random music

Now, I have to say if it’s enough to download recommendation. If you liked original, you will be surprised, you will apparentely like this piece very much. But if you don’t like JJA title, this is not much better. As a man who really doesn’t like original, I say don’t download. You will not miss anything.

I like the idea, but I think, the track is not really good. The melody is ok, with the orbitus sounds, but the drums are terrible. The main problem is, there are just snare like drums, and they’re very similars, so the grooves are not good. The bass is the weakest part of this and the original track too, I think, but with the Airbase’s bass it’s really bad, I think, ‘cuz it’s not fits for the melody.
Summary: The idea is good, there are goodies, but some part of this stuff is need to fix…

Another Letni remix, which actually suxx. Stupid, unsynthesized samples, short, everything offtuned. Sample choice is bad like everything other.

(+) You don’t must download it
(-) Samples
(-) Offtuned

If you are searching for way to comittee a suicide, here you go. In other cases, go away.

All I wan’t to say is this is the best level…………….. …………………………SO FAR…

TSF…
Urgh.

When I made my last review, the wheel was still a radically new invention.

When I saw the title of this tileset, I thought it would be an island tileset. How wrong I was.
Well, this tileset is quite interesting. The tiles are mainly simply made, but there is so many different ones and so much various eyecandy is all evens out. This is one of those rare TSF tilesets that actually could not be converted to 1.23 without loosing some tiles/animations. And, speaking of animations, there are a lot of them. One of the basic ground types is animated. The signs are animated. There are animated fireworks bursting in the background. There are giant animated words floating in the air. There are animated bobbing baloons holding up animated bobbing hooks. There are spinning coins with Jazz, Spaz, and Lori’s faces on them. I think you get the point. Also on eyecandy, there are some interesting things. Giant wheels which can have a platform centered on them so it looks like a very low-load carnival wheel (nice touch, by the way). Giant pictures of Lori. Giant cards. Giant dice. Giant pool balls. It makes me wonder where are all the giant rabbits to play with them, or if they are just there to look pretty. As for needed tiles, they are there. Destruct blocks, all of them, and of four colors, are present. Spikes are here. OK looking belts are here. Hooks are here. Vines are here, though they are nothing special. Warps are here, though I think they are ugly. If eye-catching, blinking, animations were needed tiles, this category would have a double check.

Having lost all semblances of flow, I just want to say- in conclusion, this tileset’s looks is greater than that of it’s parts.

The last time I reviewed, the Germans were in the process of capturing Berlin (a long time ago, okay?). So, my comrades, it’s time to review.

Good tilesets deserve long reviews, I always say. I was originally planning for this to be long, but I’m going to cut it short, and turn it into a medium review.

Colors – Very good
A nice, colorful tileset. I see red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, black, grey, sea green, turquoise, tan, white, maroon… you get the idea. Very colorful.

Graphics – Good
There are a lot of colors, yes, but the graphics aren’t very detailed. They still look nice, though. Simple graphics can look better than extremely detailed graphics sometimes. There’s tons of stuff in this tileset, ranging from fancy orange and red carpet (I think) blocks to colorful and blocky, blinking conrete (I think) blocks. The carpet blocks have 45 degree slopes, 60 degree slopes, and 30 degree slopes, while the concrete blocks only have 45 degree slopes. Most level makers will probably use both varieties a lot. There’s a dartboard, balloons, destruct blocks, hooks… but, what’s this? Moving hooks! The hooks are placed on balloons, and thus you can make them hover up and down a bit. There are pillars, fireworks for the background, a large variety of coins, some mix and match signs (for example, you can write “WE ALL LOVE DEVAN and WE ALL LOVE DEVAN, and so on. Lots of fun there. There are palm trees (that blink, yay!), some clear brick-like tiles (unmasked). There’s a castle with mountains for the background, and a nice blue textured background. We’ve got spikes, flowers, neon signs with Jazz, Spaz, and Lori’s mugs on them, giant cards, giant dice. Oh, yes, and there’s water for the background in addition to the castle and mountains. There are giant pool balls, neon blinking arrows, and… I’m really wasting my time. Why don’t you just download the tileset and find out for yourself?

Animations – Very good
I like the animations here a lot. There are tons and tons of them. Probably the most I’ve ever seen. Neonius, this tileset, and Reactor Core have probably the most animations in any tilesets. They all look great, excluding maybe the coins. The coins could use more frames in them. It looks like they spin around a bit too fast, especially when they are approaching and leaving the state where they look like this… | … you can only see the sides of them. At that state, you can chose to have the backside of the coin look differnet. In other words, you could have a coin with Spaz on heads, and Lori on tails, Jazz on heads, nothing on tails, etc. Very customizable. There are loads of other animations, too, but I’m too lazy to write more about them.

Masking – Very good
Masking is great, very smooth. My only complaint is that you didn’t include any balloons that you could stand on top of. That’s probably the only thing that bothered me at all in the mask. Other than that, it’s awesome.

Palette events – Good
Jungle poles work and psych poles work. The other poles do not work. The snow is blue, and looks good. I’m not sure if the snow being blue was accidental or not, but it matches the background. All the pinball events look great. Good job there.

Oh, and the tileset has plenty of eyecandy tiles. I’d like to point out to everyone that the reason that this is TSF is because of a combination of large size and a surplus of animations. If this were 1.23, you wouldn’t be able to fit in very many animations. I’m not even sure if you could fit this into 1.23, anyway. I would use this if it was 1.23 and 1.23 had room for more animations, but I’m afraid this is TSF, and I don’t want to make levels for TSF. Most of my major beta testers only have 1.23, anyway (Blacky and FS, for example).

Anyway… .Download or not? I guess so :-)

I LIKE IT IT IS VERY GOOD I THINK YOU@VE DONE HARD WORK.

ts a good idea but its to small.

It was Polish :P

BTW: Eyecandy Good. But too many weapon (In some level especially). Ill rate it 6.5

Technoir is one of my favroite songs (I pronounce Technoir), I have to agree with JelZe. And no offence, to me this sounds messed up.

Technoir Remix Deluxe (6:11 long!)

6:11 long! Is that a good thing? I’m not sure. After listening to this file, I still didn’t make up my mind.

It all starts nicely. The instruments build up and a rhytm with some odd instrument starts. It doesn’t sound particularly bad, but a little freaky and it might get on your nerves.

On 3:30 there’s a break in between and all instruments slowly build up again, together with the weird instrument and some fuzzy sound effect. It all ends from 5:00 till 6:11.

CONCLUSION:
It’s quite a long one and therefore it might get boring after a while. It has some weird effects and instruments, but it’s an OK remix.

RATING:
5.0.

Nice, most of us would like to read it, its a diff language

I like this thing, but a few parts of the music suck. Just what Haze said: brush up your music theorem. I think someone can use this in Letni levels.
Probably download reccomendation.

Is it me or is everything friggin’ detuned? Argh!

The drumtrack is good. What else is good, you ask? Erm… the effort? :)
Please, please, PLEASE brush up on your music theorem. You’ve definately got potential but I feel it goes to waste like this, sorry.

Bobup, this sounds okay to me, but there’s a few parts which I disliked thought. Thought I’ve to say that you’r getting better.

As you know, as your remixing nemesis, I can’t rate this. But otherwise, I didn’t really like this.

The electricity at the beginning wasn’t that good, and neither was that weird instrument that rapidly increased it’s pitch.

It seems to be going well after that, until you get that hum thing at a high pitch where- AUGHH!!!!!! THAT STUPID THINGY!!! I don’t know what to call it, but I hate it.

After that, the song just brings itself to a close.

All in all, this isn’t the greatest remix.

Wouldn’t it be nice if it was easier to make great remixes like your Technoir remix?

Uh…

I just made a MIDI of this, and I frankly remember getting the intervals right. Your bassline is in G, while the melody is in A. Did I miss something, or aren’t both parts actually in B?

That “Rabbit” echo gets very annoying, very fast. I’m sorry. And that poor attempt at beatboxing doesn’t help the song much either, if that’s even what it is.

You’ve got a nice Orchestra Hit sound though.

3.

Even I bothered help JSZ Jazz, it dosen’t give bonus points in the rating.
The convertion is screwed from the orginal quality, and the mask is badly screwed up too.
Enough of that, the tileset at least have a textured background.
I wouldn’t say download is recommed thought.

When remixing, it isen’t about just making the track different.
You have to do this remix better than the prevous song, and still keep some of the old song.
Still, you have to do it different in intruments.
Its hard making a good remix, and its there becuse I give this song this.
This music aren’t cool, it aren’t more wrothy than the old, and I got a shock when a suddenly horible noise popup up in the song.
I do not recom you download this, and anymore J2online space has been wastered.
You need to practice, cutoff, and work on your remixes if you want them wrothy.
Take Haze’s remix of Crysilis as an example. See he did the job, JCZ Jazz didn’t. Sorry.
