Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

First of all let me take a look at the other reviews. They all seem to take in mind the looks of the tileset, which indeed is important.

This level uses the very big and very nifty Egypt_light tileset from tomb rabbit (by Kejero). That makes the looks well taken care of and the eyecandy is indeed well placed.

The level has some major emptyness and is Lori-unfriendly in some points but thats not important as it is 1.23 (as it should be!!!).

The weapon and event placement is a bit on the bad side in some points to me and needs improvement.

I would recommend downloading this level and I give it a big 7.7

First of all: HOW do you think of making a level without jcs? that would be rather impossible now wouldnt it?

Second: Readme included, which is good.

As for the level itself:

This level uses the castle tileset and has the standard castle music file. Although it looks okay I think weapons and springs are overplaced. The eyecandy is okay as well, but offers nothing ‘special.’

I would recommend downloading this if you are a fan of castle levels or if you are a collector like myself.

First of all the tileset is not included, I recommend fixing that in a reupload.

Second, I agree with newspaz, but the rating could be a little higher so voila…

I disagree with Splash, the tileset has many ripped stuff in it, but if used right (like the example level for instance, of which the level TYPE doesnt matter at all, just how the tiles were used (that is a personal offence)) it can make some cool levels.

Bad part is the color / palette, which seems to be a bit messed up.
And of course the lack of different tiles.

I give this a 7.0

Hahaha A pinball game!

Never seen any of those at j2o, even though its pretty cool to play.

and Aiko, you are getting old :-)

Hmmmmmm how should one rate a pinball level… ehmz…. I think Aiko rated a tad low…

Ill give it a 7 for now, ill see what ill change if necessary.

Very good Gargoyle Krysis.

The levels look fine, a bit small but I like those.
The tilesets are also above average, even though they are very small (10 * 2 tiles).

I Recommend downloading this indeed!

Zieg, this is far from finished as you should know, but if you really want to get it rated:

- The tileset is made in paint, which is obvious to see (hey paint just looks a tad worse.)

The tileset is meant for hotels, which I think is not very attractive for most people at j2o, but still.

Some of the letters look like they got stuck in my lawnmower if you know what I mean by that.

I think this tileset needs major updating, for now I can only give it a 5.5, just because I like the secret room you gave whatshername. :)

An Interesting tileset, however it lacks some important things and has little variaty. Still the idea is nice, because i havent seen many sewers around. This would be an asses for collectors, but if your not into getting tilesets I recommend searching your files elsewhere.

(This does not count in the rating, but I think this still needs saying:)

Cool music, as nitro says. Im not sure if the music is fitting for a sewer, but ill leave that up to the downloaders themselves.

The readme is ok.

THe level as an example that was included shows the capital parts of the tileset but is a tad too small for my liking and you can get off the level…

The tileset gets a 6.0 from me.

Whats all the fuss about 1 treasure level anyway???

No-one else actually uploaded any?

HMMMz.

I dont have much to add to the reviews of the above reviewers so Ill keep this short.

F!re, people may upload whatever they want as long as its jazz-related here so if you dont like to see music then dont go ‘round looking at this.

question to King Cold: you say nice, but you give it a 1.0???

I dont find much change in the original song and the changes in it, I dont really like them… Perhaps you should start your music from scrap instead Silver Fox.

Im not really sure what grade to give this, so ill wait a little while and see if the music comes to use on one or more of my levels, then Ill rate. For now, you all will have to be happy with this (or not :))

Fact: Download doesnt work anymore, try to reregister or contact the admins Silverfox.[This review has been edited by BlackDeath]

I hope this is the level I think it is, since I havent downloaded it, because i have already played it online if it is the level i think it is… (understand everyone????)

Well if it is… then: Good, a treasure level, its good to see that on j2o, since there arent many.
Layers arent used enough, but thats not really noticable if you play with 3 or more players I think…
(I bet you havent aiko)
To make a long story short:
Eyecandy: average
Gameplay: good

Grade: 7

NB: the above reviews are in exact order of hight of rating, wonder if they planned it that way :)

At long last my internet is back, you will prolly hear or see me say it more often and at more places, since I have been away for a week, but as for the download here.

This is indeed (as the other reviewers say) quite good looking with sufficient tiles and easy enough to use. The theme has been used a few times, but this one is different enough to be useful.

Hmm the description added here is a bit long, I dont know if its in the readme, but I recommend putting it in there, because if you add such a long description here, people might not feel like reading it (I didnt :)).

I forgot to mention that I like the music very much too.[This review has been edited by BlackDeath]

This level uses a (presumably) seldmade tileset which hasnt got much to use, the level uses whatever there is to use in the tileset, but still is a bad one.

There is like 1 minute needed to complete the level.

I do not recommend downloading this, its a pure waste of space.

Next time chi chi, I advise you to get a tileset you can work with. There are many pokemon tilesets (5 i know of) and most of them are far more easy then this one.

Good luck.

A comment to the comment of you Talec:

The eyecandy that could go in here, perhaps sauce (you could easily make destruct tiles with that too) and A big head that eats stuff or something.

Second: Lately its getting a bit better, but usually Jazz 2 is filled with newbies (no offence though) who have not seen many levels and are not at all good at designing them themselves so they go around and are impressed by every level they see.

Its just like the fact that some people base their reviews solely on the reviews of others or even if they like it still rate low if others rate low.

(that is no personal offence, usually if a lot of people say a level is good then its good and same with bad, but still).

I like small (2-4 player) levels and this one reminds me of some of my own.

I dont know if I have seen the first version (i dont recall seeing it that is :)), but ill just review for this one alone.

Good eyecandy, ok weapon placement and interesting gameplay (with 2 player, havent tested it with more).

Ctf version is like the others say not too different from the battle version.

A download recommendation from me.

All of the above non-saying people. Take it to jcf or something, dont start an arguement or a discussion here.

I will delete this review as soon as everyone here stops this blabla above. I recommend Stunts, Ipdope, Nitro and F!re do the same.

One little note: I dont think using the water event causes any trouble in coop, I mean some of the real jazz jackrabbit 2 levels use the water event and do you have any trouble there? nope.

So why shouldnt you play it in coop if there is a water event???

AHa It was about time for some excellent stuff on j2o and these levels are a good example of that.

Im not really into ctf but as far as i have testeed it (against my brother) the levels were great exept for a few text bugs.

The eyecandy is good, weapon placement is good and gameplay is excellent.

This level gets a MUST DOWNLOAD recommendation from me.

The level does not include the music file technoir.s3m, but i had one with another name so thats ok for me. Others might want to download the jj1 music (also on j2o).

The level has desent eyecandy and good enemy placement, although it seems a bit overdone on some ocasions. (like falling upon 4 turtles. There are about 7 different enemies in the level with the normal turtle as most-used.
I would recommend placing more flying enemies like floating lizards or sparks in this level.

The level lacks pickups of all sorts in most places, but there are several stashes of big pickups (like 4 filled gem boxes), I would advise you to spread the events more and increase the amount of ammo pickups throughout the start of the level. I myself dont always do it either, but putting weaponry in improves the gameplay.

Overall i would certainly recommend downloading a level such as this. A good 7.5 points from good ol’ me.

Now I can really notice being a j2o addict, people actually are agreeing with me!

And I though miracles didnt happen anymore !
