man this tileset is overrated! The trees and actually all the stuff except the animals are drawn not good. So the only thing I like are the animals.
Compare it to other tilesets like Agamas or Disguises and you see this aint that good.[This review has been edited by Piccolo aka SoulFirE]
New Amazon Forest is just like Flash said very cool. It’s got many realistic jungle animals like parrots, other birds, piranhas, poisonus frogs, sloths, lizards, snakes and much, much more. Most of them are also nicely animated and can be used for various stuff. (Of course, that doesn’t mean that they can’t be used for eyecandy. ;) There are also many kinds of trees, platforms, bushes, leafes, vines, tree stumps and many more “woody” stuff. ;) Of course, everything in a rainforest isn’t natural. It’s obvious that the Spaztects (no, I mean Aztects ;-) once reigned the land ere and left some building blocks behind them when their civilization was destroyed by the Spanish. (Ok, ok, I promise, no more history stuff in the rest of the review ;-P)
However, there are some bad things in this tileset. Unlike all the other reviewers opinion, I do not think this tileset resembles an Amazon rain forest at all. There aren’t enough flowers, trees, vines, rocks and other jungle stuff and the few flowers and trees this tileset has got is pretty plain and boring. Come on! This isn’t somebody’s backgarden! It’s an giant jungle!!!!! The tileset is so…so garden like and it doesn’t fit an jungle at all. But, if you add loads of trees and vines and green stuff in the foreground layer of a lvl and make everything VERY confusing, then maybe the lvl will look a little bit like a real jungle. ;-) So, instead of having the name New Amazon Forest, I recommend to rename it to:
Very Badly Designed Back Garden with Loads of wild Animals in It.
(Just kidding! ;-D)
Because the tileset doesn’t look like a jungle at all, I’ve decided to lower the average point and give it an 7.2.
And an download recommendation of course.
Oh! And btw, the other reviewers of this tileset are HEAVILY overrating this tileset. :-P

cool man. the animals are awesome. it reminds me of the amazon :) i recommend a download.
Coolness! At last some tileset with really, realistic animals. I was waiting for that :). The graphics are worth an 7.0, they have some 3D-ish look but they are not that special stuff. The inca god-thingy (that gold human sculpture) is very well done, and so the animals are. The example level is boring, but it shows really how you can use this cowy set. I’m really getting the feeling I’m walking in the amazon forest. Also a plus are the plants. They are so cool! They are absolutely not realistic drawn, but they are “feeling” realistic. I don’t really know how to say it. I have some weird feeling I’m gonna make a level with this :).
Well. I threw my firs rating (7.0) in the trash can and luckily I found some better rating (8.0) in my livingroom. Here, it’s yours!
PS: Download this :)
Good Stuff! A realistic version of the amazon tileset. Nuff said, get this.
Not bad, though i’m not impressed with the tilesets graphics (yes i’m very strict on tileset graphics) i really liked it i thought the “Venus Flytraps” and the “Pitcher Plants” were cool.
I think it looks just like the Amazon. Good job!
Argh! Incredible! (new) Amazon forest is a realy INCREDIBLE new tileset simulating a rainforest in Africa, or some other far away place. It has very nifty stuff for eyecandy, like fish jumping up and down in the water, birds flying across the screen, panters, tigers, chameleons, scorpions, and more exotic animels. Its also has some stone-like stuff, so that you can build a ancient Aztec/Maya/Inca(or any other lost civilisation) temple in the midle of a jungle. It has stuff like venus fly traps(meat-eating plants), cactuses(or something), litle monkeys, lizards, Parrots and much, MUCH more. You can kake things like a jungle with trees in the background, big leaves in the water, parrots sitting in trees, snakes, ancient temples, anything! Unlike the origenal Amazon forest, that looked cinda freaky(still pretty nice though), this PERFECTLY simulates a amazon forest. I also recomend to play the example level, because when you only view the tileset in JCS, it may already look great, but when you lay the level, you REALY see the amazing things posible with this top notch set. So, i am going to break my rules once again, and give this a very high 8.7(!) points. If you do not download this right away, you must be some sorta nutcase who escaped from the mental asylum. Oh, and wow, we had 2 great tilesets uploaded in one day.
EDIT: Oh, and i`ve discovered that the example level was made in 1.24(TSF). So if you cant open it, you`re probably trying to play it in 1.23.[This review has been edited by >CelL<][This review has been edited by >CelL<]
hm, let’s see…
The set itself looks great but when you see what you can do with it in the example level it’s downright amazing.
The environment looks great and the animals are really cool. Most of them are animated too!
The user-friendlyness is also very good (a rare thing with tilesets) because everything is placed in a logical place, right where you need it.[This review has been edited by Ninja Dodo]
My review is nothing compaired to these top reviewers, but anyways…
I think this is a cool tileset, has some nice animated tiles (the mummy) I Suggest you keep making tilesets.. this one is REALLy cool
I completely agree with Zieg.
This tileset is a bit small and to yellow (as most have said)I agree with ninja it could use some palms.I like the small shark standing on its flippers.I dunno this set is just missing somthing.=( if it had a little more maybe it would get a higher rating from me.Sorry Jaws,=(
Like stil said i dunno the game but this is a VERY nice set,I expected this to have real vikings,But it was even better!(i hate vikings but i love space stuff)The example level was very cool and a real chalenge.What is so cool about this is there r already enemys so you do not have to use the ones from jazz2 to make a single player level.Too bad you can’t make one tile have two events so you could make the ememys destruct scenery.Jaws I hope to see more sets like this in the future!Congratulations Jaws you get a 10!!!!!
Nice tileset!
Many variations.
Kool. No review, just kool. d/l now. I think you’ll really love it. Duh.
Wow, a very nice little conversion from the game Lost Vikings! (shame, I’ve never heard of that game.) This tileset is pretty nicely done, contains a good tile for most cases, along with a small example level showing you plenty of interesting things to do with the set. Game converted sets always seem interesting, and this tileset is more than good… I suggest you all DOWNLOAD NOW! (I might edit this, and make my score an 8, Not sure what to give it, really.)
I never was of the Lost Vikins, but I played the game a few times at Fire’s house (The original Fire, newbies).
There’s a lot of stuff to use. And with this tileset it’s possible to have good professional looking lvl. Everything is original and as I look at other’s reviews, and I don’t only mean for this thing, but to load of others: People aren’t rating fair.
Some of em are jealous that they can’t make such a good tileset, cos he just got a 4.7 for his.
His name isn’t Disguise or EvilMike and he’s isn’t from ML or J2LC so he can’t get higher than an 8. Just check a few tiles from these guys. All got higher, but only some of em really are better than this one.
For the tile: It looks good. Only buttheads will be able to make a badlooking lvl with this tileset. For all regular creators: Succes garanteed.
I loved that game! Cool tileset!
Nice Tileset
i Dont Know the game
But the Tileset Rocks
