Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Wow, this level pack was amazing! :) I loved it very much. :) The levels well built ang beautyful. :) The gameplay was really interesting. :) When the full level pack releasing? :) Sorry bout my bad english, but I’m Hungarian.

Some of the levels are of mediocre quality, others are of poor quality. Some good marks there, nets a respectable 4.5.

Different story for the tilesets. Man, those tilesets are HORRID. Thank God that Tazar made the “Mario/Sonic Megamix” tileset.

This would get a 5.5 if the levels were not passworded. The passwording knocks a good ~20% off the final rating.

The only thing I really enjoyed from this pack is the song “Deadlock”.

[Please rate levels for what they are, not if they’re passworded or not. ~cooba]

it rocks. you guys may not think tat but ill give it a 10. im a huge fan of tubelacteric

Six levels, not bad. But some levels are a little too short.

The levels are sometimes very easily to complete. However, in some boss-area\‘s are not one, but two bosses. And then is it harder to beat them. That is good.

Introduction:
Speed up and drums down, folks.

Song Analysis:
It’s Technoir! With a faster tempo and better drums! And that’s it! Whee!!

Sample Analysis:
The new samples work well enough with Technoir.

Final Analysis:
Technoir never sounded closer to the original than this. Not much of a remix at all. Hardly worth the time it took to download.

Bjarni doesn’t seem to listen to the reviewers….add “”.s3m” works in jj2 if you add .s3m after the filename in jcs” in your explanations…maybe he will understand then.

Good Pack right here, with huge levels, puzzles, (exspecialy Hidden Palace) Mulitple enimies, (Really cool effect) and tons of action, the only downfall is that the puzzles seem to repeat themselves, but the action covers that up.

-8.5 Out of 10

Ah man, these midis are VERY good! They sound just like the originals, only midified. Some instruments should be louder than others so it sounds more accurate, but they’re great nonetheless.

Ok, here’s a set of… 17 midi’s! Of course there are a couple of doubles with different instruments. Just for your pleasure I’ll note down the songs made into midi’s and the amount:

- World Complete: 2 midi’s (a GM and XG version, whatever those may be)
- Candion: 2 midi’s (same thing as above)
- Exoticus/HH94 bonus stage: 2 midi’s (ditto)
- Pezrock: 1 midi
- Medivo: 7 midi’s (different versions of the seperate midi’s. Be warned tho, in GS one instrument may get stuck during the whole song in some of them)
- Tubelectric: 3 midi’s (different versions yet again)

TaZaR, did you download them from www.vgmusic.com? That’s where you can find the very same midi’s.

They don’t sound bad in the Microsoft GS Wavetable, some sound even good (Tubelectric rules!). If you’re gonna using them somehow, be aware that some have other midi drivers and therefore some midi’s will sound absolutely horrible in them.

P.S. The authors are: MaliceX, Steven Picken and Steven Blom. Info from www.vgmusic.com

I think there’s not problem with the sound. Use good midi canvas! =)(GS, GM or XG) All midi will be much better!

Well, what can I really say? Some of the files are badly labeled, so I can’t really tell what part of JJ1 they are from. They are really horrible sounding, but no blame goes to the author, as I know already that midi is a piece of crap format, I’ll probably check out Acld’s midi uploads.

I’m sure a lot of people will use these MIDI files for their websites to annoy visitors to death.

Danyjel, how can you listen to it with mp3? It doesn’t work with winamp :(

Guys, keep in mind that the higher the rating, the more likely it will be mistrusted. I’m listening to this as I’m writing this, and surely this isn’t a 9.5, tho it comes close. If you wanna be a good reviewer, don’t suck up to the author (that goes double for Danyel ;p). Even a 7 will make him create more things ;) Also, I wouldn’t advice reviewing if you don’t have both original songs for reference ;p

Crossing Tubelectric with an icy feeling has been done before. Some of you may remember “Winder Thunderland”, which was just parts of Tubelectric with new X-masy (is that a word?) samples. This remix falls under another category tho.

melody
The danger of mixing two songs together is that the whole will sound choatic if done wrong. This remix is only half choatic. It’s basicly Ice Cap Zone mixed with loose parts of Tubelectric (not the whole song, there’s parts missing). The intro may sound empty, but that’s a trait of big ice cold enviroments. As the song continues, you’ll hear Ice Cap (faintly), but you’ll mainly hear the Tubelectric part because it’s so loud. The Ice Cap part has been lengthened by repetition, but unfortunately, part of the original melody is lost. I would have liked to hear that song complete and put forward more, since the tracker intended it as the main component of this remix.

Samples
I can’t name the samples, but I can say they’ve been chosen well for Ice Cap. Tubelectric on the other hand is so-so.

JJ2 compatibility
What’s this you ask? Well, for your information, there are some modules that JJ2 can’t play, or can’t play correctly even tho they have the right extensions, due to its (old) music engine. This remix suffers from this. When you want to use it in JJ2 you’ll get a “Input past end of file” error, and JJ2 will shut down. I’ve seen other modules which cause the same type of error. Tip: If you want to make it JJ2 compatible, test it in JJ2 too and not only in ModPlug or a similar player.

Verdict
A pretty interesting remix to say the least. It’s not prefect, but pretty good. It’s too bad the Ice Cap part is so vague, too much into the background. But it’s still enjoyable for the Sonic/Jazz fans out there. Download recommended if you don’t mind a listen-only remix.

Very good done! But I don’t think it will be so usefull in the game, more in my Winamp (like Danyjel said). I should have given it some higher rating if it weren’t because that I won’t use it in the game!
(Unsupported rating removal edit. A proper review needs more than just saying “this file doesn’t work in JJ2” several times. ~Violet)[This review has been edited by Violet CLM]

Thx! But I had just changed the samples, added intro, ending & few other part to the song, and tubelectric melodyes to it. But thanks! =)

I love Ice Cap Zone music.

Where to start… Maybe… At beggining… Mysterious wind, then first three tones from Tubelectric. And again. Then IceCap background… And here it starts. Those transitions and joinings between those melodies… Those two famous and grandious melodies joined in one… Everything in winter, over-average samples. Great. I am listening to that awesome, paradisaic, optimistic melodies… And then, second Tubelectric theme, which ruins atmosphere. Good. ;p

Rhythm is monotonous, bit annoying, in ungood samples, but OK.

(+) Awesomely joined melodies
(+) Melody samples
(-) Second Tubelectric theme

Although all minuses this is very good songm which is worth of download.

I think this is good – it is not just resmpled like other ones, but as said danyjel that annoying “Relax” is bad.It is longer and it isnt so “weary” after on min like other remixes, because it is changing and it is not other bad try.

If you will continue this way, you can be better.
