Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

A prime example of experimentation gone wrong. Birdie started a fire going, in which he did not have the power to control. Ambition and creativity should be applauded, but almost all functionality is lost; these are MP levels we are talking about.

I had to review this ages ago, but finally:

This level is complete anti-entertainment for me. Even if the tileset is limited, one isn’t forced to make 90% linear gameplay. Also I don’t see anything original here. The random class-feature has been used before and it just makes the level pure lottery. Download other stuff by Birdie, not this.

fun for about 30 seconds. D-

Rofl.

Good job, but admit you stole the name idea from server always wins? (or was it stolen from this level…? hmm.) LOL.

Simple, fun, exciting, this is a very enjoyable level for a wide range of players (except very large games as they can be a bit chaotic) and one of the best FR levels out there.

This level has really kept me busy over the past year. Must be one of the most often hosted battle levels I actually host. Music it entertaining, and the layout is fun to play around with. The palette is quite anyyoying but doesn’t bother me to much. I miss you Birdie, come BACK!

I’m to lazy to do a normal review so whatever. Anyway, right now, this is my favorite FR level, not just because he’s birdie, but because of how he made it. It doesn’t get totally cramped if it’s 10+ people, it actually get’s quite exciting. I love the Bouncy Turrent, and the crate which traps the campers near the flag the most. Yeah! Dload now!

This is an interesting level, with a solid theme and nice little touches, however the layout favours the red team quite a lot.

WOW! What a great level! Perfectly strategical, with an original theme makes it the best level yet in my opinion.

Perhaps a quick review isn’t appopiate for a pack of 6 levels but I must point out that some of them (¡SandBox especially) used annoying gimmicks that produced no positive side effects. So mastering is pointless. It’s good to try new ideas, but sometimes you will get your hands burned if you’re not careful.

Still, nice job.

…! To “Fawfull”

1 = It obviously isn’t intended to be used for a ‘serious battle’ because it’s ctf

2 = If it’s so easy to make this level, why wasn’t it made already; also you just assume I made this in five minutes, while it may not have took long to assemble in jcs I did quite alot of planning

2 = If you die anyways without carrots why would you need to pickup ammo?

Skills matter in this level, not just luck, the skills to use weapons effectively regardless of what weapon your opponent has.

anyway, just because a level is simple doesn’t mean that it’s bad, if you play SSBM a perfect example is Final Destination.

I dont care that you brought my rating down, I do care though that your review seems like it was written without actually playing this with other people.

You can’t understand why they give so much eights… You’re just thinking this is meant for JJ2WC or JDC :P

I think this was a fun map. I played it online. It’s fun. Download this.

MULCH, as strange as the level name is, is a really fun level to play with a few players or with a lot if you want to see some crazy action. The random weapon concept makes it fun, but it can also get frustrating if you get the wrong weapon all the time.

Sometimes you don’t get a PU, that probably happens when people are getting killed over and over. If I’d were to rate this as a serious level I’d give it much lower, but just because the fun you can have in it(I played it till 100 a few times and played it very often in my own server) I’ve also experienced that the server usually wins with even teams.

Of course it’s all about the weapon you get, because Pepper is not useful in the level. If one has Pepper and the other has Seeker you can guess who wins. But that’s just the level.. not much to do about it. With Carrotade on you can’t recapture fast but if you don’t have it on you can recapture faster. That’s why you should play with Carrotade on. This gives people the time to score more, otherwise you would have gotten even crazier games with people killing each other without scoring a lot.

You can sometimes score 2 points if you kill someone because of Carrotade. With 1 player against more it’s unfair, but this doesn’t mean you can’t score points.

This level is not a candidate for the next JJ2WC or some JDC event, but it’s still a very fun level. Like I said, if I wanted to rate the level as a normal CTF level(that means looking at the eye candy and the placement, although there are no carrots and there is also no ammo) I would rate it much lower.

Download recommendation? Well, this didn’t get downloaded a lot yet so I have to say yes.. but only if you want to have fun and you can take some stress.

Host: Well, in my server this is the standard opening level so you can have some fun before you’re going to play other levels. But if people don’t want to host or play this I really understand that because this is a controversial level. I’ll give this level an 8.2 for now.

This is a great level. It may look small but it’s very fun to play. Great for Duels and 2v2’s. Everytime you die, you get a different PU each time, from Seekers to RFs, Bouncers and Pepper Spray and many others excluding Freezer.
Eyecandy may not be that spectacular but the tileset is only 10 × 10 (100 tiles). The eyecandy is impressive for what is in the tileset. Textured BG is used in Layer 8 and looks good when seen through the arches in the background.

As for a rating, I’ll give it 8.0 because the level is fun to play and it is excellent for Duels and 2v2’s as I said before.

SCORE: 8.0

DOWNLOAD?

YES!!!

This level is very small, but you really need to play it. It’s good for duels or 2v2s, cause well, it’s small. However it’s also fun when there are many players, ‘cause that’s where the craziness starts. It also looks pretty nice. And I like that start-get a PU system. Also the music gives the feel of a fierce battle, so +0.2 for it.

~Eigus

Rating: 8.0 + music bonus (0.2) = 8.2
DR: Yes (yes, yes, yes!)

P.S. Brd, if you want it crazier, add some Freezer powerups. It would be neat, heh heh…

I just played Birdie in a duel today, using the level MULCH. The flow was nice, so was the tileset. The music made a fast pace game. Overall I like it. Even though it’s small, doesn’t necessarily mean it has to get a low score. Good for 1v1 & 2v2 duels. Score, 7.9..rounded to an 8.

[Rating adjusted to 7.9 ~cooba]

This level is awesome, albeit small.

Looks VERY un-worked, but makes great gameplay! Yeah!

(Worlds shortest review… Stop laughing at me! Or just go away…
What am I talking?)

Let’s give it 7.5 and DR.

PS. You would have also said “set the captures needed to 100”, as it makes it more annoying er… fun…

This is an ultimate level pack. The gameplay is great! The way you hid all of the ammunition and whatnot is also pretty cool. lol the bonuses you get are nice.
The eyecandy is INCREDIBLE! The anti-gravity is also really neat. Nice hax (if that’s what you used). All in all, I would have to give this level pack a 10/10 and heavily recommend downloading this pack.
