Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Heh! I have to say, i really like this new level called “Pyramid Battle” (boring name, as always). Mainly because it uses a tileset that was, as far as i can remember, never used before in a battle level, namely the breath-taking “Egypt_Light” by Kejero. Very good idea, F
Apart from that, the (large) level has a quite proper design (including weapon placement) and some good-looking impressing eyecandy (well, maybe thats caused by the tileset :). The oriental background music fits perfect and sounds a bit weird (even better :).

Conclusion: if you have five or more people in your Internet server, this will be automatically great fun! If not, you will still enjoy the beauty of the tileset and the weirdness of the music. In any case, i RECOMMEND “Pyramid Battle” as a MUST DOWNLOAD for all us people from the western world. Let’s walk like egyptians! :-)

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

I think this lvl is fine in almost all options. The lvl is not too big or too small, nice music (yep I disagree with Inf Spaz). The gameplay in this battle is good I think, enough moving space. Enough weapons for sure ;) eyecandy looks well….the only thing that a bit bugs me is the choose of much springs. Overall I think this a great job of Fire :-)

The use of the Egyptian tileset in this level is very well done. The whole level has a very ancient feel to it, whic is what I expect the designer was going for. The level is realy fairly big with lots of open space, which allows more for the “hunt-them-down-and-kill-them” aspect of battle. Weapons are well placed and accessable. However, the lack of secrets and the presence of only two warps to move players arround the expance lowered the review by a little. Overall, a well done level.

First off I downright hate the music.No offence.The tileset needs all around more but its quite unique.You might try a better program like psp.I got mine for free beacuse it says that I am on day 769 of your 30 day trial period.
Oh well.Over all I’d say that with a little practice and texture, you might get something good.Otherwise for your sewer needs use the Colon tilesets.
Uniqueness 2.5/3.3_
Size 0.75/3.3_
Texture 0.75/3.3_
Prog used +1

A Ok level but the music is sooo soft I had to turn my speakers up but the sfx drowned out the music.0.5/2
The nile didn’t look that great so I would suggest allowing you to go into it.1/2
Weapon placment is roughly uniform.2/2
Jumping Room is nice.2/2
Secrets?What Secrets?0.5/2

the tileset izzz ok but its not something that u say: IM GONNA MAKE AN TILESET WITH THIS HUGE tilset!!
Make it bigger…..
The music izz fine. Its only fine 4 this tileset!! so not 4 “Building” or something u know.
its an hmmmm.wait 10 min.wait 30 min. wait all day

AN 6.0 ( because the music ) lol :P

YaY! Finally a Treasure level!Ok time to get down to buisness.This set is very overused and the music makes me wanna barf.(I am soooooo tired of carrotus)Better be glad this was treasure or it would have a 5.7.

Gameplay:good

Tileset used:very very sucky and bad

Music:very very very sucky and bad

Eye candy:fairly good it could use some work though.

I have had lots of fun with this level.So just because of that and because it is treasure i give it:

DOWNLOAD THIS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

A pretty good tileset. I sticks to one theme, looks ok, and is new. But i found a few smallish problems-
1.you can get stuck in the sand wall
2.the fireplace moves (a easy mistake)
3. what in the world is that red smokeish stuff from inferno doing here???

But it is nice. you get a 6.7

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.

i didnt Realy liked this Set

Maybe You can add a little bit more things
but its ok

I love the music but the set aint so good but it still is nice.
You can do alot of amazing stuff in paint also but I think you should mod the pallette a bit for you and the set’s convineance.

;)
Another treasure level!(there are only 2 on J2O. There is more Music then Treasure hunt levels!) +1 point for that. (Treasure hunt is a favorite type of mode of play for me along with race.Single player and CTF. ;)
Ok, to make a long story short…
Mode Of Play: 1.0/1.0
Eyecandy: 4.0/5.0
Tileset: 2.0/2.0
Gameplay: 1.0/1.0
Music: 1.0/1.0
It’s a 9 from me.
D/L recomendation.[This review has been edited by MattW]

This set is very kuel.He said he made it with paint,If that is true he is very talented with it.well anyway cool set.Indain tepees an Indian Spaz.Western stores and houses,alomost forgot about the cowboy jazz.;)It has good eye candy and a good bakground.However i must admit it would not hurt to make a nighttime background because the day time back ground is somtimes hard on the eyes.Another bug I found with this set is when you go up hill you have to just cuz if u don’t your char will just push at the sand.This reminds me of a Snes game i once played called Bubsy.The western town in that game looks much like this set.Overall this set was good for a first,If he would work out the bugs in it i think it would be a really good one.

eye candy:ok(4 points)

Game play:Good but for a few bugs.(another 4 points)

This tileset was not average but it was not the best either.I will give it a 7.2.

Very nice tileset and level. There are plenty of interesting things to do with the nice selection of tiles in the set, and the example single player level shows this off. IMO, however, the masks in this tileset really weren’t very good and could have been better had the author spent more time on them. There are also a few ripped tiles here and there, as Aiko mentioned, but it’s really not a huge deal.
Oh well, this should definitely be downloaded by tileset fans. 7 points from me.

Indeed, “Wild West” is a pretty good new tileset. It contains 200 tiles showing scenes and scenery from the “Wild West” (18th/19th century USA, somewhere in the desert, for those of you who didnt know, not to forget 20th century b-movies :-).

There are some basic platform structures, poles, lots of signs (saloon, store, bank and the like), a cactus, clouds for the background layers and some (supposedly ripped) hotel structures. Plus some more ripped tiles from the Jungle and Inferno tileset (not a problem!). Maybe the masking could have been a bit improved, as some others said, but honestly, i have seen worse tileset masks!

The author also included a small example SP level, thats gives a good overview whats possible with his tileset. Very nice!

To conclude my boring little review, i’d like to give A DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATiON for this tileset. It’s quite cool and all you talented level authors will have a lot of fun with it! Seven points because i’m in my one-day-holiday mood (post your levels on holidays! :-).

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 :)

Oh well, we all know that the Carrottus tileset is horribly overused and that i hate it but nevertheless someone had the cheekiness to build a relatively good level using it :-)
Generally it is a very creditable idea to make a Tresure Hunt level. There is a massive lack of good TH levels, that is true.
Well, back to my review: actually, the level is pretty average, nothing spectacular, neither relating the design nor the layer work. Sorry. I even find it boring a bit, not “tight” enough somehow.
What i do like is the readme file :-)

Overall, i really don’t know. You won’t see me hosting this one too often i guess…but maybe thats only me. Download or not? Decide for yourself. It’s A MUST DOWNLOAD for all Treasure Hunt freaks, though (a lucky 6).

No stunts.
But the first review for this level, i didn’t make it! I don’t know who, but not me!
Thats why I deleted it.

The design is very okay. The eyecandy looks good but has a lot of small bugs. The author should have tested this level more.
