Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

YAY! It works. :-D Especislly the instagib mode, it rocks! :-D
This program gets an 8 and an download recommendation from me.

Cheers,

White Rabbit.

Moo!

Yay! It doesn’t work! Again, due to Win2k. Thank you Billy Gates! You suck the LEVELARD out of everything! I wish I wish was l33t like j00!

It’s nice (wish i could rate it).

Heh. Overlord, you are not allowed to ask people not to rate your stuff ;P

If they don’t like it, they may give it a bad review. It is part of the system.

I actually like this program though, but I am not sure how to rate it.

I give it a download reccomendation.

Lol, I remember this level. Everything in it went really wacky and I ended up getting a screenshot with both teams having -10 points. :D

Overlord…

There are bugs in RHG too.
The bonus in Jungle has no sense and way out.
‘Graveyard!’ is buggy too-
on the Blue side, the blocks
are invisible to my char!
(I can’t step on them) Way means
unfair game. Both teams can’t score…

How to Project T, I will try out…

There’s no way of describing it better than, WOW! I went through the whole thing and I was impressed greatly. The storyline was exciting and suspenseful, and the levels were just as good. Not many eyecandy mistakes at all. Best single player pack I have seen yet. Keep up the good work Overlord!

I`ll review later…

edit: Ooops, forgot to rate the D/L:-D.[This review has been edited by >CelL<]

Wrong-o! Check again!

When i use project T hapens the same as by >cell< it’s changing the chars

All right!! Another lvl by the creator of the superb lvl pack: Rabbit Honour Guard! This lvl is really cool and it’s very easy to navigate and weapons placement is great. But what really makes me rate this ctf lvl so high is cause of the idea of guardrooms, the eyecandy and especially the tileset. This tileset really does the job of making you think you’re in a space station, another planet etc etc.

The eyecandy includes flashing lights, a beautiful background and some techno stuff. Also this lvl not only has looks but also some creative things like the guardrooms. Inside them there is a powerup and as Overlord said: you can shoot really far. That should keep those pesky little guys that always sneak behind you busy, hehe >:-)

Anyway, if you just can get like 8 ppl or more to play on this ctf lvl, it’s definetely gonna be great fun. Good job Overlord, much better than the ctf lvls in RHG. Everyone: download NOW!![This review has been edited by White Rabbit]

Introduction to Rabbit Honor Guard:

I realy like the way Overlord made the story-telling levels. The story for this pack is in-cre-di-ble! It all fits together like nothing else.

Episode 1: Escape:

Castle levels:
Very good! The eyecandy is nice, altough not that much diferent from other castle levels. Enemy placement is terific, and it took me some time to finish it in hard mode without geting killed. The secret level is also well hidden, and the secret level itself is very fun, especialy that forg-falling:D.
Only i feel the 2nd level could`ve been a tiny bit longer.
Over all: 2.3/2.5

Carottus levels:
Exelent! Once again, good eyecandy and ammo, enemy and food placement! I like the secret easter level, especialy all the hidden powerups and stuff like that!
The hidden stuff with that giant carrot in the Tuff boss level is also very good! Again, great levels!
Over all: 2.4/2.5

Labrat levels:
Great! I`m a real fan of all that is Labrat, altough i dont realy like the oficial Labrat music used. Pity. I realy like the second levels start, with all the spike balls. And ofcourse the secret level! Its got e theme i dont remember abyone usedbefore! Nothing special to add from me.
Overall: 2.2/2.5

Holiday levels:
Very good! These weren`t in the origenal Jazz2 story line:-P. I realy like the canyonsb where Overlord used all those triger crates, making you run from one crate to another and back:-D!
The secret level is, once again, well hidden! The secret at itself is very small, and not that special, but stil sorta impresive!
Overall: 2.2/2.5

Episode 1: 2.4/2.5

Episode 2: Through the history:

Colony levels:
Very nice! Two 50 coin bonuses (i never did colect enough coins for them:-D). Unlike the oficial Colony levels, they have a good use and placement of fencers, who are some of the most anoying anamys, especialy in large groups. The second level is very hard, and makes terific use of all sorts of trigers! It took me a long time to finish it in hard mode!
Overall: 2.4/2.5

Psych levels:
Totaly funkyfresh! again, perfect enemy placement, and i like the smokerings in boxes:-). The second level is also sorta hard, a litle small maybe, but very hard, especialy in hard mode:-D.
Overall:2.1/2.5

Beach levels:
Very nifty levels here! I rEaLy like the tube-turtle sower in level one:-D!
Once again, a very well bult and hidden secret level! I like the triger crates that make the water level rise and drop(it are the crate that do that right?)
Overall: 2.4/2.5

Episode 2: 2.5/2.5

Episode 3: Undiscovered worlds:

Diamondus levels:
Very nice! The avalanche thing at the start of each level i very much a surpise to most players, exept those who look up before they leap:-D. The secret level here is almost not hidden at all, but at itself is very hard. Its one of the things i was`nt able to finish in this pack. I like that Overlord used the origenal Jazz1 Diamondus tune in level 1. Its much beter then the new one.
Overall: 2.3/2.5

Tubelectric levels:
Shocking. Nice eyes generater:-). The 2nd level again is very hard. Before you know it you`re back where you started. Again, it took me some time to finish in hard mode.
Overall:2.3/2.5
I almost forgot! The secret level! And its..Awesome! One of the most fun levels i ever played! The super0long shield idea rocks:-P.
Overall:2.5/2.5

Medivo levels:
Hehe…The only boss except Devan wich you cant get past without fighting him
:D. The levels are very good-looking. Realy good eyecandy, weapen placement and enemy placement. And the secret level… It does`nt exist8).
Overall:2.4/2.5

Episode 3: 2.4/2.5

Episode 4: Devan encounter:

Jungle levels:
Devan kicks in the afetr-burners! Playing these levels is very hard. Only, Overlord promised us no saveboxes. I found one in Deep jungle
:-D. But thats no pity. These levels are very well designed. It took me some time to finish them even in easy mode, and hard mode… I consider myself lucky i made it:-P.
Overall:2.5/2.5

Inferno levels:
Very good design. The first level is`nt that hard or long, but the 2nd, “Going down”…WoW! It rocks! Its hard as heck. Even more, it is heck:-). Beware everyone, the secret episode is hidden somewhere among the bones os the inferno… Evil laugh.
Overall:2.4/2.5

censored Hell levels:
Very good! I dont have to say much more then: Awesome! Hard as heck, and this 2 is heck:-). And ofcourse we have heren the final encounter with Devan. After Devans defeat all is well! But what about Devan lab, and the secret episode…?
Overall:2.5/2.5

Episode 4:2.5/2.5

Episode 5: Devesating grounds:

Plastic level:
You realy thought when you found the episode, you`d reach the lab right way, eh? Forget it! This level is very hard, and it took me time to finish it.
Overall: 2.4/2.5

X-COM apocolypse level:
The aliens are coming:). This level is aslo very hard. The enemy placement is very good, so is the..oh wait, there are no pickups:).
2.5/2.5

Space prison level:
Just as good as everything else. Nothing realy special (compared the the other levels of RHG that is:-P). Terific eyecandy!
Overall:2.5/2.5

Top secret level:(nice double expresion)
And here..it is..Devans secret lab! Here, you will have to fight your way through countless of enemys, and i died countless of times here 2. And after beating the lab itself, here he is again..Devan shell!
Overall:2.8/2.5:-)

Episode 5: 2.5/2.5

RHG tilesets:

Rabbit honor guard: 9.9/10.0

Introduction to Rabbit honor guard:the fortress:
Just as splendid as the one for the origenal RHG. I like the devan rocket:-).

Top secret ]|[ levels:
Awesome! Superb use of trigers, enemys, MCEs, SCEs, eveything! Overlord realy has the player runiong around the levels from one triger to another!
Overall:5.0/5.0

Space fortress levels:
Devans outer-space fortress. These levels are among the finest i ever saw.
The design is simply genius. The levels are so hard to play even in easy mode. I love it. The levels are also huge, i think maybe about 100 by 200 tiles! And ofcourse at the end is Devan. There is also a very secret level. Its mostly the same theme as the secret level in the tubelectric levels, but some fun efects have been added.
Overall:5.9/5.0:-D

Rabbit honor guard:the fortress: 9.9/10.0

Rabbit honor guard Tilesets:

Plastic tileset:
A simple, but cool tileset. It does`nt have that much posibilitys, but more then enough to make a decent level iwth, wich Overlord shows in the first level of the secret episode:-D.
Overall:7.3/7.5

X-COM tileset:
One of my favorite tilesets out there. Its got lots`a cool (self-drawn?) Alien pictures in it. Maybe Monolith is one of them:-). Its got 3 difirent backgrounds (sadly not good for texture), and good eyecandy posibilities.
Overall: 7.3/7.5

Space prison tileset:
Another one of my favorite tilesets. Its got well drawn Platforms and such, and ABSOLUTLY STUNING background posibilitys. I just love the planets and that sort`a stuff.
Overall:7.5/7.5

Top secret tileset:
This has for sometime been my favorite tileset(mainly until agama released Heaven:D). Its got lots`a fake stuff, wich is fun to fool realy new newbies with:).
Overall:7.4/7.5

Top secret ]|[ tileset:
The update of the above; i`ve got not that much to ad about this one. Its got the same space background as overlords Space prison, and some of the background planets. It also has the laser like thing from X-COM.
Overall:7.5/7.5

Space fortress tileset:
Awesome! One of the coolest tilesets ever! I`ve got nothing more to say actuely.:-D

RHG Tilesets overall: 10.O/10.0

Readme:
X-tremely high-tech! No one(i think) has ever made a readme like this! Awesome!
Overall:1.0/1.0

RHG launching program:
This sealed the deal for me. Only complaint is that it only works for TSF.
But seeing that i mainly use TSF, that realy was`nt suh a big problem.
Overall:1.0/1.0

Rabbit honor guard overall: 10.0/10.0

[This review has been edited by >Cell<]

:-O, :-O and once more :-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the BEST singe player pack I’ve ever seen! (And from this point, also the only one I need ;-). Fantastic eye candy, superb game play, well-placed secrets and mind teasing puzzles. Still not convinced? Need more reasons to download this immediately? Well continue reading then…..

Ok, eh…..really, I’m out of ideas here so I dunno how to continue.eh…well, Overlord, didn’t you said take that if ppl were gonna rate this take some time? Does that mean the review or the lvls? I’ll go with lvls. And by doing this I guess I’ll need to explain them in more details.

Ok, here goes: The lvls are all put together in one GIANT campaign (dunno any other description for it). The campaign itself is divided into 5 episodes (one secret) It’s almost like the official single player game with the same tilesets and same amount of lvls excluding the secret episode but I’m still not sure if I’m right. The episodes are: Escape, Through the history, Undiscovered worlds, Devan encounter and the secret one’s Devastating grounds. Now when you download this pack you can read all these stuff in the RHG readme so I’m gonna continue with the actual description of the lvls instead.

Also there’s the not so big but still very good expansion pack: RHG: The Fortress using Overlords so called “advanced tilesets” .;-P Because there are two “campaigns”, I have decided to divide my review into two parts. One about RHG and one about The Fortress. Alrighty everyone, brace yerself for MY review:

RABBIT HONOUR GUARD SECTION

LVL DESIGN AND EYECADNDY AND…STUFF
Unfortunately, because of my bad memory, my brain can only hold roughly 10 lvls out of the 70 so don’t be surprised when you download this pack and play one of the lvls and say: “Hey! White Rabbit was wrong about this and that!” ;) The lvls have all got plenty of trigger stuff and special effects. Two good examples are the lvls made of beach and labrat tilesets. (I forgot their names). The beach lvls have trigger effects that I have NEVER seen before (not that I’ve seen many). By standing on something or stomping a metal crate the water level goes higher or lower or baddies pops out from nowhere. (Actually, I think it’s above and not behind as Overlord said in the readme ;-P) In the labrat lvls, there are tubes or thin…long…openings…on the ground or…whatever and out of it comes electro blaster fire, seekers and something that looks like the beam from the laser shield. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea how you did it (but would really like to know) and it just keeps me wondering and wondering but only when I have time because I spend my time mostly on looking at the beam. (I’m still doing it 8) which makes my eyes go large as big dinner plates)

GAMEPLAY
The game play of the lvls are as I said superb and mostly (or all the time) affects the difficulty of it too. One good example is the lvl Colapsing? (you spelled collapsing wrong Overlord :-P) Although the design is (simple?) and it isn’t very hard to play, the lvl is STILL (in my opinion) one of the most frustrating and time taking lvls in the whole pack. If you don’t get what I say, download this pack and find out for yourself.

AMMO AND OTHER WEAPONS STUFF
The use and the placement of ammo is also great. In the castle lvls, you really have to use and take advantage of the pepper sprays long range cause without it, you’re dead cause the baddie placement is very professionally done so it’s gonna be real hard killing them with bouncers or the good old blaster. Excellent. Also, there is also very good use of electro blasters, especially in the first lvls where you will find it much easier to kill baddies if you have got some electro blasters ready. But be warned though, I recommend you put them on rationing and only use them if ABSOLUTE necessary cause if you use’em up like a maniac, you will sooner or later find yourself in life and death situations (but you can always restart ;-) where the electro blaster could have saved ya. Also, I like the amount of weapons in the later harder lvls. The ammo is VERY sparse and you almost only get freezers and toasters which can be useful but isn’t very destructive which is parts of the reasons why I died a unforgivable two times when I played the Devan encounter episode. The only thing I can add now is that Overlord has obviously spent a great amount of time working on all these ammo stuff and he has done a marvellous job. Marvellous.

BADDIES
The baddies however is the main part of how hard the lvl is. Sometimes they attack yer in a mass all together and a good example is the eye generating machine in the lvl The First Try. Although it can be hard to survive them without the full health carrot, you’re gonna get some fun before you die. I dunno about Spaz but with Jazz, yer can jump around until you get all the eyes above you and then you super jump. The result is that you cut through the eyes like butter :-) and hopefully you’ll get all 16. Also, they can attack you hidden in holes or above ya like those banana throwing monkeys in the jungle lvls. They hide themselves in trees and use it like a bunker to throw their bananas at ya. And it is VERY hard to not get him by the bananas. Also, some baddies are positioned PERFECTLY as some kind of special attack target. Just trick some flying stuff that normally annoys you and super jump. And…. :-O!!!!!!!! This is the first complain on this pack ever!! (Or maybe not, cause I didn’t really bother to read the other reviews :-P)
Some baddies are badly placed and they’re all in a row just waiting for Spaz to use his sidekick on them. And there’s no air defence either e.g. crows or flying bugs on some places guarding the ground baddies. Not good, not good cause the baddies shouldn’t be placed so that one character is better of killing them than the other. They should only be like that if you can’t prevent it.

HURT EVENTS AND OTHER OBSTACLES
Also, there is plenty ingenious use of hurt events in some lvls e.g. the jungle ones where big tree stumps with sharp bottoms go up and down like those knifes in Tomb Rabbit. Only they go a little bit faster and it’s really tricky going past them if you don’t have good timing. Also, in the secret episode there are…oh wait a minute, it’s supposed to be secret…so I’m not gonna write anything about it, discover it for yourself, but be warned: they are tricky to get past. Hehe :-)

TILESETS
Also, to spice up everything, Overlord has used his 4 of his own tilesets (no, make that 5) to build the lvls in the secret episode Devastating grounds. The tilesets are: Top Secret 1, Top Secret 2, Plastic, Space Prison and X-COM apocalypse. Top Secret 1 and 2 are almost the same except from a few tiles hear and there. It’s very original and includes lots of animations and eye candy but still have the tiles to build a complex and big lvl. Great tileset, that’s all I can say. The tileset Space prison is also one of the best tilesets in this pack. It includes lotsa lotsa stuff and as yer all know, stuff is good.:-) Also, Overlord has decided to share some of the MCE stuff with ppl who’s not really good at lvl editing (e.g. me :-P) and thanks to them, we may lvls with better eye candy in the future. Unfortunately, it looks like the tileset Plastic and X-COM apocalypse isn’t as good as the other three tiles. Plastic includes funny letters and weird laser stuff and X-COM apocalypse has plenty of background eye candy and cool lightsaber stuff (or something like that) but except from that, in my opinion they’re not much really.

USE OF TILESETS
Now, none of these lvls would be anything at all without good use of the tilesets being used. And I tell ya ppl, Overlord has NOT made good use of the tilesets, he has made SPLENDID use of the tilesets. Almost every tile in every set is used in all the lvls and in the secret episode Devastating Grounds, Overlord has showed what his own custom tilesets can do. Trigger effects, hurt events, lasers, eye candy, they’re all there so if you can’t get to the secret episode at the first try, try again, and again cause I tell ya it’s worth it.

MP LVLS
But wait! I’m forgetting something here. Oh yes, the multiplayer lvls. Overlord has included 3 battle, 3 ctf and 3 treasure lvls in this pack. But by taking a look at them, you can quickly see that they’re not as good in quality compared with the singe player lvls. They are, actually quite disappointing…… :( The battle lvls has poor weapons placement, you can’t really…battle in them, one of them are using the heavily overused Carrotus tileset and the treasure lvls are confusing and one even too small. Although the ctf lvls include some original ideas with very fun stuff like “spring frenzy” :) and much better weapons placement than the battle lvls with some cool eye candy, the rest of the bunch is not much really.

RHG: THE FORTRESS SECTION

LVL DESIGN AND EYECADNDY AND…STUFF
OK, here’s the not so long awaited expansion pack of the fabulous Rabbit Honour Guard: Rabbit Honour Guard: The Fortress. This pack consists of 8 very well done lvls. The first and last of them is not playable though and all you need to do is sit back, read the text and enjoy the eye candy. :) The rest of the bunch however is hard as h*ll and it’s gonna take a lot of skill and determination (and savings ;) to complete them. All the lvls has got excellent design and has got some VERY demanding puzzles too. You have to destroy computers, solve trigger and warp combinations, press a keyboard here and also you’ll need to fly through an invisible warp maze. Also there’s plenty of secrets to find. But don’t be happy just cause there are many secrets, they are the most well hidden I have ever seen and it’s very tough to find them. Also, there’s some VERY nice eye candy and sometimes you catch yourself looking at all sorts of eye candy stuff whilst the baddies make rabbit stew out of ya. Also, just like RHG, there’s ingenious use of trigger effects and destroying a computer or pressing a keyboard often activates triggers. When they are activated, you will find either:
1. Being sent to a bonus area.
2. A secret door opens (or a normal door)
3. You’ll get sent into what looks like an abyss. 3.
4. Things will either improve or get really bad for you in the future. ;-)
So, in short: the lvls are simply as near perfect as they can be. Move on to the next section plz.

I’LL FINISH THE LATER SECTIONS…LATER. ;-P

CONCLUSION:
Well, this about everything I remember and if yer still require more reasons, consult someone else cause I’m out of them. :-) And for ppl who’s not as stupid as those who need more reasons I’ve got a message:
DOWNLOAD IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOTES
Here’s a note to lil’ Overlord ;P here: now that you have made RHG, I’m gonna warn you, we all expect quite a lot of you now, so don’t you DARE disappoint us. ;)

Here’s a note to everyone else here: screw the official SP lvls*, dump Tomb Rabbit* and all the other SP lvls* cause the only SP lvls you need is Rabbit Honour Guard!!

Oh, and btw, by writing this review I’ve gone from New reviewer to Occasional reviewer. YAY!!!!!
:-D :-D Let this day, be remembered for ever!!! :-D :-D

*In my opinion. :-)[This review has been edited by White Rabbit]

It’s a really fun level. The eyecandy is great, its easy to get around, too. Although some springs make it hard to get around. I HIGHLY recommend you download this.

Yeah … I also tried WinZip now. Nothing. How come only one other person has problems?

The first zip file aslo doesnt work for me, and im using winzip. Weird. Fix that, OL.

[EDIT] Content edit, personal attack [/EDIT][This review has been edited by ShadowGPW]

I don’t want to say much, but what you actually want rated (uploaded to j2o) is a text file. Now not judging from that I still say that it is a mighty fine set of levels you have there. I will get back with the rating when im done playing all of them through.

O and one thing to executor: I think you are more new to this then most others and I also think you did not download this, but just read the description and readme. NEVER EVER let any of that stuff cloud your judgement, for it might be your favourite thing you are calling stupid.

And besides that: No I did not hear of the phrase either…
