Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

2 Town based levels that mainly follow the original JJ2 level guidelines, but more polished. Relatively scarce ammo and just a few carrots makes for a fair challenge. There are secrets and goodies everywhere, an original bonus area if you get the coins, and interesting usage of springs and collapse scenery here and there. Old but recommended!

one (two exactly) of the best levels i’ve played in a long time. nice gameplay, item placement and details. the levels were huge, though i didn’t feel necessity for a custom episode for only 2 levels :)

Okay… it’s a okay level to begin with. It’s nice, has lots of space, and good weapon placement… kinda.

EYECANDY: 7/10
Well… it looks good, but also kinda boring. There aren’t any landmarks or anything to distinguish where you are, and too much looks the same. Even so, there aren’t any real problems with it, so I’d say it’s good.

WEAPON PLACEMENT:7/10
You know, I would love to see way less seekers in the game. They require almost no skill to use, and if you fire enough of them it’s hard to miss. There was a seeker powerup right where I started. Bad idea in my opinion. There are also lots of other powerups. As for normal ammo, it had good placement.

ORIGINALITY: 7/10
I’m not seeing anything that sticks out here. I mean, it looks very bland… the eyecandy I mentioned was okay, but it looks very much like standard carrotus. The level is very platform oriented, which I haven’t actually see that much of.

GAMEPLAY: 7.5/10
I liked how the trees blocked the ammo, which was good because it added a bit more stratagy. The level is very platform oriented, which can become quite a nuisance at times. Anyone who gets the bouncers can sit on a high platform and shoot down at people. People could retaliate with seekers, but I think it would have been been better not to have either weapon there.

OVERALL: 7.2/10
An okay level, but I honestly wouldn’t play it because there’s nothing that really stands out about it.

DOWNLOAD RECCOMENDATION: Iffy.
Sure, if you’re low on battle levels, but there is better out there. Sorry, but I really can’t say either way.

I can’t believe I didn’t review this earlier. I LOVE IT!

LEVEL PACK PLAYING TIME: 1-2 hours

EYECANDY: The Eyecandy ROCKS! The backgrounds and foregorunds are SUPER! It looks like a proper city. The levels NEVER felt empty as there was eyecandy everywhere you went. 10/10

GAMEPLAY: There are 2 levels in this pack but they are HUGE! I was on the first level for about 1 hour. There’s so much to do in both these levels. I had this whole pack finished in about 1:30! 10/10

PICKUPS & PLACEMENT: There are so many items to pick up in this level. Lots of weapons, food, gems and some coins. Everything is placed really well. Power-ups are hidden rather than out in the open. My only gripe is the Bonus Area in LV2, you can blow up the blocks with TNT and use the RF Jump trick to get up there. But apart from that everything is placed really well. 9/10

EVENTING: I really loved the way the “Flick Light” events were used on the street light objects. I also loved the way it went darker when you were in front of a building. 10/10

ENEMIES: Not too many or too less. Enemies are NOT found in annoying places like on the edge of platforms. They are placed perfectly. 10/10

TOTAL: 49/50 (9.8)

BONUSSES:
The music in LV1 just ROCKS. I love that White Coffee music. +0.1
The level pack includes a very well written ReadMe file and a nice little game where you can try to beat the Hi-Score if you found the password hidden in the levels. +0.1

DEDUCTIONS:

NONE

TOTAL BONUSSES: +0.2
TOTAL DEDUCTIONS: 0

GRAND TOTAL: 10/10

GRADE: S – EXCELLENT

DOWNLOAD RECOMMENDATION?

YEAH!

I know it’s TSF, but if you do have it download this pack NOW!

Wow. These levels are huge.

Firstly, I’ll mention the few bugs these have so I won’t forget them.
- Spaz can reach a lot more places then jazz, and in some cases, places he’s not suppose to reach.
-In starlight sparkle I can reach the bonus area without getting the required coins by simply TNTing the stomp blocks and RF climbing my way up.

And now, the reasons why I found this enjoyable:
-Music choice was good.
-Levels were long and took effort to beat
-Difficulty was good. Not too hard that you’d get frustrated, but hard enough that I found myself at 1 h a few times, and even died once (thank god for save points ;))
-The levels didn’t feel empty, there was always some pickups, baddies, or something else to keep you occupied.
-Eyecandy was basic, but nice. Stuff tiled etc.

Conclusion: A nice small pack of levels, that are all around designed well, and fun to play, especially on a rainy day or when you’re bored. I was thinking of giving this an 8.2 or an 8.5, but then I found that these levels use difficulty, and the readme is well designed, so I decided on an 8.5. These are old, but still fair well to today’s standards, so if you don’t have these already, get them.
