Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Hmm, where to start…? Well, first impression is of the attention to detail thats been taken during creation. The level looks great. Second, the very clever design of the level, the warps and tibes are crucial to success, learning them gives you such an advantage…its very well balenced, both from a side to side point and a fire power to health point of view. And its FUN! Its a level you can stay in and not get bored, which is becoming something of a rarity on the server these days.

Theres the usual stuff to mention, the tilesets great, nicely varied, if a little basic in places, the music is good choice i think, and ammo is plentyful but not ott. I cant think of any serious (or even un-serious) fault in any part of the level, add it to your collection asap!

A pretty cool level by Evilmike of J2LC we have here. “Alien technologys”(i still liked the old name, “Alien Jungle” beter), is a well designed CTF level, using the tileset Ets planet 2 aka Grentenus. Use of the tileset is good, and the level’s design is pretty new looking, sorta origenal. The music, to me, was defenitly wrong. The music file used in the other version, “Shutdown”, fits a litle beter to me. Otherwise, try Darkness.mod(“Edge of Darkness”) or night2.s3m(“Amazonas”). I realy like the way the tileset was used. I have a level lying around using this tileset too, ready for upload. Guess i’ll release it once:P. Ammo placement is good here too, maybe a “BIT” litle, but good. I would have liked to see some light efects in the level, or atleast not have the level at 100% light. Try turning down the light to 72 or something like that, it will look darker, more creepy, and add to the feel of the level. Background layers where used pretty basic, same as in all other levels published with this tileset, but i guess there are’nt realy any other ways to use them. The whole level itself is at most places very open, sorta reminds me of Disguise’s level design style, wich i like very much. Suckertubes are well hidden and placed, and can be used to make shortcuts to the basses. I was unable to find any dead ends yet, wich is good too, because me, and a lot of other people woth me are strongly against dead ends in multiplayer levels. I also like the way vines where used, it looks pretty cool. I was, because of the music, very undecided between a 7.7 and a 8 here. I’ll be generous this time, so this 8.0 is yours.

yeah!
Its a Good battle level.

Not that i love it soo much but…
this one is kinda cool i think.

I dont like it :(
Its way too hard.

Kinda Cool lvl, I luv Tilesets from jj1.

Nice level. Use of pipes looks pretty neat. Rest is average.

‘Evilmikes hidden temple’ is a realy l33t battle level. It makes pretty good use of one of Evilmikes tilsets, wich one some points reminds me of JJ1: Deserto. The design of the level is very circular, thus creating pretty fluent gameplay. There is good weapen placement. The coins for the bonus waro are well devided, not to litle, not too much. The use of layers is also very nice. I like the way the level is divided int two sections: the hidden temple and the desert outside. It is a litle small, but thats not much of a pitty. I am going to give this a pretty high 8.0 points and a download recomendation.

The word “evil” +1
Eyecandy +4
Atmosphere +3
+.2 A gift
Yeay!

I did`nt do this yet? Then here i am:-].
This is one of the best singleplayer pack i`ve seen in some time. The 3rd level, deserted diamondus, was released earlier. I`m not going to review it again, so look [URL]here for my review on that one. The other 2 brand new levels, Alien chemestry and bonuds level(pretty corny name though) are also state of the art levels. They are very hard, but also very fun to play. `Nuff said.

“Deserted Diamondus” is a very well balenced singleplayer level. There are some pretty neat event tricks, and the overall design is very good. I award this level witha very high 8.2 points. Good work!

I ate cheese once on Tuesday, it was rather yellow. :-P

Well, back to the review:

WOW! This is the best race lvl I’ve ever seen! It’s got lotsa original obstacles and I like that the lvl changes for every lap you make. :-D
You have to jump, dodge and do lotsa other stuff to get to the exit. You have to be really careful and precise when you race in this lvl cause if you don’t watch out, a spring will send you all the way back to Carrotous. :-P

The eyecandy is also pretty nice with flashing lights and other stuff. But I think the pulse lights could flash a liiitle bit slower??

Well, anyway, Cheese is Green on Tuseday is a must download whether you like race or not. :-P

Hehe, i agree with the others:-P. This is a very well built tileset. You people may say one color is pretty boring, but i dont realy care `bout those thing:-P. Download recomendation? YeS!

This is realy a very nift-ular pack by Evilmike. The tilesets are very nice. I especialy liked the tileset of up-side-down Diamondus. I should make a level with it once:-P. The levels are mostly very good two. My favorite was Shine-o-rific land. I`ve gotta stop now, maybe i`ll make my review a litle more detailed later.

~>CelL<

Thats absolutely nonsense, Ninja. This roolz. I like it. The level itself is average, but the concept is great enough to give it an 8.0.

My turn! This level is realy very well built. The ammo placement is vey well balenced. Miky-wiky made very good use of the Diamondus conversion by Toxicbunny. I recomend downloading this to all battle and JJ1 fans!

~>CelL<

Hey! What a coincidence! I just played this lvl online today and decided to search for it on J2o. I tell you Shine-O-Rific is Te-Rific!! :) The use of the tileset is great and I’ve never seen Diamondus in such a beautiful way! The diamonds, the trees, the background with the sun, it’s just…just….I think words has failed me for once :)

I also like weapons placement, it’s not messy and all over the place nor is there so few weapons that ppl who search for them need to be a nomad.
;) But there is one thing I must tell: Don’t listen to Evilmike about turning your screen resolution to 320×200, cause if you do and try to battle, you’re dead in seconds flat. ;)

Now, what more can I say? I highly recommend downloading this battle lvl.[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]

Ah yes! Team battle. Something I have tried a long time ago in some other way… Lets not bring that up (I…failed a little :))… Never came up with doing it this way though.
Only disadvantage is that you now have 3 hearts instead of 5. That can be a real pain with upgraded weapon (cept for 8 and 9 of course).

But anyway the concept is great and I do like it.
