Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Jaws Battle (which is impossible to play online due to the underline in the filename) is another level which suffers from too much realism.
The level consists of a sandy shore on top, with puddles, and beachish stuff. There’s a few pieces of bouncy/ice/toaster ammo here and there. Underneath that, there is a fairly straight (only one alternate route, when there’s a block in the middle of a cave) tunnel thing that goes underneath and is hard to navigate due to size.
The level uses what eyecandy the tileset provides, if maybe a bit too much, but eyecandy is about the best feature of this level. Overall, I’d say, unless you have some fascination with quasi-realistic levels, don’t download this.

Having never seen the original, I have no idea if this is an improvement over the old.
Anyway, the tileset gives you one basic type of ground (featureless brown stuff)), which require lots of flipped tiles to work, so don’t expect having destruct scenery secrets in any great quality. You can put several things in it, like toxic waste, bones, and censored.
As seems to be Jaws’ habit, there is a great deal of little animal animations in this tileset, from a puffer fish, to a sea gull, to a big shark whose mouth you can go inside. (It seems unable to chomp closed on you, though) There are trees, umbrellas, a lifeguard station, a blue flag (but no red one), rocks, rain, and other stuff.
It also contains stuff for stomp and destruct blocks, in several forms. Also vines, and one of those vertical poles you can climb up (I guess).

Now more bad stuff.
The textured background included in the tileset doesn’t work. Also, which isn’t good for a beach tileset, the water doesn’t look all that good. Have some nice blue gradient for 176-208, I advise. The graphics on some of the stuff are kind of bad, and as I said, the ground requires flipped tiles. The layer 4 background has to be put in layer 5 and there isn’t any background eyecandy other then rain and lightning (which is all very well, but where are the rolling sand dunes? The city of unsuspecting minor characters?).

Overall, while Jaws (new version) has some nice features, it also has quite a few problems. An 8, because the swimming turtle is really rather cool. Fix those bugs.

Well….Good

Great,Excellent

Small level, with lots of springs. However, you can take a brake in water if you are good in swimming, and you can act like pirahna there, shooting landing enemies. The level is very mirrored, except some horizontal springs. It’s good fun for 5, 6 minutes, but after longer time it gets boring. Use if you don’t want to play long.

Despite that there is a few bugs in the level, its an ok race. I like the bird idea, its cool, and good tileset use (even if it is your own tileset) and there are dead ends, which isnt so good for race, if used in a bad way. Still gets a d/l reccoemdation form me

“too much springs”
That’s the idea. It’s different. That doesn’t necessarily mean bad, you know.

Anyway, I liked this level. It’s a strange concept but I think it’s fun.
The level is also well designed and the Amazon tileset still looks great.

One thing I didn’t like was the horizontal springs though… sometimes you find yourself bouncing in directions you don’t want at all…[This review has been edited by Ninja Dodo]

Sadly, I didn’t enjoy this level much. I agree with Violet CLM, it’s meant to be realistic, but it’s also meant to be a race – you don’t really have much time to view the lovely animals.

The layout of this level is also annoying. It’s a straightforward race, from one end of the level to the other, with various obstacles and going underwater along the way. What I found most annoying was the bit at the start, where you go along some lilies to get some bouncy-bullet ammo, then realise you have to go all the way back again because you missed an entrance.

Also, I found some of the scenery quite annoying. I found it hard to distinguish between the layers, the trees all look sort of the same. I often ran into a tree not knowing it was there, wondering what the hell is going on.

The choice of ammo is weird – mainly bouncy-bullet ammo (I use TNT and ice for my races) – and is placed in places that you have to divert off the main course to get, and you won’t use them much.

I also had a bit of difficulty at the end – I wondered what those birds were for, and couldn’t find the exit warp, then tried jumping on some Layer 5 tiles in vain. I wouldn’t use this level much, it’s far too annoying.

It’s hard, what makes it interesting, yeah.

SPRING!

it’s the point that the springs are everywhere
it’s maybe hard but that makes interesting!

Well, when I downloaded this, I had no idea (mostly) what it was, so I’ll describe it a bit.
“Jump battle” is a vertically oriented battle level consisting of a bunch of platforms hanging in mid air, and a pool at the bottom. The thing is, all the platforms have springs atatched to them, on all sides, generally.
There’s a carrot at the top which is only reachable as Spaz. Thus, if you’re Jazz, shoot the morph at the bottom. I played this with Diz and FS for a while, and can say that while it provides an interesting experiance, it can get boring.
The eyecandy’s ok. There are a few plants, some foliage, and the background’s filled with trees.

Waaaaaaaayyyyyyy overated.

The springs, even if they were fun, they make it hard to move around, think of how mental the server would get if there were 15 people playing in this level bouncin’ everywere ;P
Nice tileset use, well it still deserves a good download reccomendation from me cause its fun. ;P

EDIT: OMG BACKSLASH FASTER THAN ME OMG OMG OMG HE POSTED 5 sec BEFORE ME OMG ;D[This review has been edited by Blackraptor]

Wooooo! Argrees with Moonblaze, this level is over-rated. I don’t like it. Too much springs. Bad design. You can’t stand somewhere… An 6.7 from me.

BackSlash

Guys, this is way over-rated.
Ya, maybe its fun, but its not great.
The eyecandy is nice, but really.
There’s not any powerups, gives it a gameplay like Battle2, which suxor IMO.
I recom you download this if you go for something jumping. ;P

FUN

It’s Great but little Hard on the Springs…..ALL OVER THE LEVEL
