Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

This level is…well…certainally interesting. It reminds me of what would probably be regarded as a solid battle level in the summer of ’99 when chat rooms and the consequences of abusing their rules were accepted due to the lack of any static IP addresses. By the standards of these days, however, this level is not as good. It does show promise, with some creative use of one way and sucker tubes, but it just feels so strange at some points it’s not very good and so bland at some points it’s not very good. The chat room is quite evil. It has the rule that anyone who is caught sidekicking (!!!) is banned (!!!). There is a 10-point coin warp that requires going out of your way and into the aggrevating pinball rooms in order to collect sufficient loot to enter the prize. The flow of this level is OK for a battle level, and the layout was strange but acceptable. The eyecandy, however, was not so good. The layer 5 objects were used strangely and just didn’t look right. Overall, this is a very slightly above average battle level that would have been great in 1999. But this isn’t 1999.

+ PROS: Acceptable gameplay, some interesting but too-weird things.

- CONS: Strange layer 5 background use, bad use of pinballs, dialup-era banning rules.

VERDICT: A 5.5 and no download recommendation except for nostolgia and battle freaks. It’s an alright level that suffers from what could have been prevented if more time was spent on making this level look right. It does, however, show a lot of effort, and that deserves recognition. Keep working on levels, since this definitely shows some degree of promise. Some day you’ll probably be very good.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

First nice first level, But you guys need to fix the eyecandy and some of the gameplay because there .. well horrible! But i did like the band of turtle’s! lol funny so keep praticing!

I give this a 7.7. Gameplay is good but some of your eyecandy is messed up and there were some glitches in you platforms. Good work except the things i mentioned!

Cool!

The eyecandy is bad, but that is also with my first levels, when you keep practicin I whil rate maby you fathers levels.
The idea is nice, you have too collect coins in order too complete this level, if you have 10 coins, that bonus guy whil warp you too a place where you have too buttstomp a crate, that whil remove the blocks for the end of the level.
If I shall rate this level is shall be 3-3.5 because of the funny idea…

I’m Dutch, and I can speak a little German, so if you are German and you have JCS and you are a beginner, you may have a quik look.[This review has been edited by spazz]

OVERALL: Some nice levels in there. Not to good of a pack, but an improvement. Keep trying!

I have to agree with Blackraptor’s review, but I liked it slightly more. As he said, the eyecandy is lacking quite a bit, but this is standard among new levelmakers. While I do not adjust my ratings per the experience of the levelmaker, this is still quite impressive. Since I am both lazy, tired, and plagued by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, I’ll leave it at that.

+ PROS: Solid. Good gameplay.

- CONS: The eyecandy definitely needs work. Many tile bugs.

VERDICT: Overall, I give it a 6.5 and download recommendation. It’s good, but not anything amazing. Keep making levels. While this may not seem like a great rating, you’re new and this is a good rating for someone who is new to levelmaking. A download recommendation for those who like to see new levelmaker’s creations, but those who don’t care probably, well, won’t care. ;-P

To bijarni: The Exit is in the same place than before.:
Gameplay>Area>Ende des Leves (Anm.Rennen*) and second (Anm.Beamen**)
*:Jazz Runs away
**:Jazz will warp to the next level.

You know what? I also seem to remember something like this a while ago…

Good question :D Is it dark blue?[This review has been edited by Bjarni]

That is cool for a 1st level.But tell your dad that he should put more eyecandy and put some stuff in layer#5-7.I would rate it 2.7 – 3.Keep practise .

Yup, it’s a nice first level.
The gameplay is overall bad, there are too few jumps.
Eyecandy is ok, but on most places you need ceiling.
Orginality: Really nice. To get 10 coins is a nice idea and some places are uhm.. orginal
Placement of items: Not bad, but we want more weapons and less gems.
Further: There are too much coins hidden and you must come back.
If i should rate this, it was a 4.0.
Say your dad to practise and he would be one of the nicest level makers ever ;P

I´ve question! How can we find the exit?

Wow…it seems that this level contains an entire spectrum of reviews from “this is really good for a first level” to “I would rate this 2.7 if I could.” So I suppose I’ll find out what I would rate it.

This level shows a decent ability to create a level, especially since it is your father’s first level on Jazz Jackrabbit 2. Despite the acceptable gameplay, though, this level’s eyecandy leaves a lot to be desired. There are many tile bugs, which I suppose is acceptable enough when you are a new player, but there’s still a lot. Since I don’t rate based upon how much experience someone has in levelbuilding, I can’t increase my rating just because they are new. Even though the eyecandy looks very messed up, the gameplay shows some promise. It’s good to master gameplay before eyecandy, since gameplay is often more important than gameplay (I personally would rather have a bad-looking but very good to play level than a great-looking but unplayable level.) Still, the gameplay is a tad linear. Regardless, this work shows promise. Tell your dad to keep working on levels and make some of your own, too! No rating since this is not by the actual uploader.

+ PROS: The gameplay is not the worst I’ve ever seen, though it definitely is no where near the best. Shows promise.

- CONS: Bad eyecandy, barely OK level design. Still needs work, but not bad for a first level.

VERDICT: I can’t rate this since it is not your’s, but I’m not sure what I would rate it if it wasn’t. Nothing above 5, nothing below 3.7, though. Probably around 4.5. So, out of confusion, HTML tags:

EDIT: Please do not rate this. It is not his level. You can not rate it, since it is not his level. ;-P[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

When someone puts in their download description “Just download it, it can’t do any harm,” I get slightly scared. Still, this is a useful tool (I guess) for anyone who is German and doesn’t know enough English to operate in a normal JCS environment. There isn’t really that much more to add other than please do not rate this. It’s not his creation originally, and it should not be rated as so. Still, if you really really need a German JCS.INI (I suppose for a few people, it could be a good thing), this is it. I can’t verify how well the German was translated since I go not know German, but I’m sure that it was at least decent.

Oh, and as a note: I’m not sure whether this fits into the category of Commercial Software for Download. It is a support file, but I know uploading JCS.EXE is illegal. Just keep a watch out.

+ PROS: If you’re new to JCS and German, I suppose this could be useful.

- CONS: It could be illegal. And ALWAYS BACK UP JCS.INI FIRST, regardless of what the level descriptor says.

VERDICT: Since it is not his creation, I can not rate this. Still, assuming it is legal, I guess German JCSers who are new to JCS“ing” and can’t understand what the English JCS text says could find some benefit in this. Still, I have a sneaking feeling that this has been done before. Hmm.

Tell your dad to practise. And tell him to make sure his eye candy is right next time. I’d rate this a 2.7. But since he made it. I won’t rate it at all.

I won’t rate it since your dad made it, and not you. Let’s just say that, as a first level, it’s not too bad.

Great Level !
only you can’t play it with spaz…

To Mad Teanager:
