Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Very nice, though an entire new Wind Meister would be better. :)

Very nice. It’s colorful and simplistic, but it makes for a good, fun level, and reminds me of the Cool Day tileset.

Ugh. This is horrible. The level and author’s actions are an example of exactly what NOT to do when making/uploading a level.

It’s very small, but very nice overall. Good job. I recommend downloading it if you like space.

This level has been detected as a conversion.

Due to this, it has automatically been assigned a 7.0.

Edit: I was being cynical, Violet. ;-P[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Actually, I like this level in many ways. It makes for a very nice Instagib, in fact. The level is a tad small and shows disregard for anything other than powerups, however. It’s a good level, but you should remove some of the powerups and replace them with 3x ammo or ammo crates.

INTRODUCTION
I have always been a big fan of the Foo Races series, and the latest installment of the Greenkiller’s classic Hocus Pocus tileset pack, Hocus Pocus 4, lends great new tiles to the series.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
At first glance, the tileset looks 100 percent like your typical Hocus Pocus tileset. After using it, however, the subtle improvements become obvious. The tiles look great, and the conversion was smooth. I must lend Spotty and Violet a hand for creating what is simply the best JJ2 console-based tileset of the year. This is a highly recommended tileset that you should download now. There are a few small bugs, but they are all forgivable.

WHAT I DON’T LIKE
However, despite the rave review, there is the fact this tileset is, well, unoriginal. Converted tilesets are fine, but effort is some part of my grade. Also, this tileset doesn’t feature any tiles that aren’t found in this game, which could be a pro for those puritan enough to be offended by the prospect of the classic DOS game being corrupted by modern touches, but likely is a con for those more accepting about edits.

BUILDING A LEVEL
Building a level with all DOS game-based tilesets is very straightforward. The tiles did not, obviously, require much matching, and levels looked great no matter how much I tried to mess them up. Amazingly, this was one of the few tilesets truly deserving the title of “fun to use.”

IDEAS FOR USE
Of course, this tileset would be great for use in puzzle and race levels. Few enemies really look natural in this tileset, however, but they look acceptable. This tileset could be terrible if only the bricks were used. Creativity using the potion and key tiles are really what could make or break a level using this tileset.

CONCLUSION
All in all, this is a great tileset and worthy of your download. Despite the fact that it is an imperfect conversion, it is good-looking and easy to use, and is thus worthy of being a Foo Races tileset.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

Really, I couldn’t agree more with the comments above. This level has a below average (for levels with TIPs) flow, which is surprising, because it is usually Mike’s strong point. Still a very good level and a recommended download.

This level is not tournement-worthy. There is no sound, but (as Violet mentioned) the ambient sound use is VERY nice. Please make levels in 1.23, however. A good effort, but with level thought put into it.

I must say I like this tileset a lot. It features three different landscapes which all produce an environment very reminescent of Indiana Jones. A fantastic tileset, which I recommend everyone to add to their collection.

UPDATE: Please remove the fact that it unzips to C:\Games\Jazz2\Amazon, though. I don’t like moving the files.[This review has been edited by Trafton AT]

A great tileset. The 3d aspects are interesting. It kind of reminds me of a multicolor version of Blue World. Very good. A recommended download.

A very colorful tileset. I can’t say it’s a must-download, but it reminds me of Cheq 3 and Mezz01, so it’s nice to have around.

This is pretty much an average level. I tried playing as Lori, and it was very annoying. Not one of Unhit’s best. Sorry.

This is a good tileset chock full of blocks (har har, that rhymes). For the tileset collector, download this! It may be rare some day.

This level is a good level. My big complaint is the sheer amount of ammo. It is enough to classify this as an Assault level. BTW, thank you for including your password. While no password is preferable, if you are including one, it’s nice to spare us the trouble and tell us it in the level description.

A very good level with nice eyecandy (though a few glitches) and OK weapon placement. Download today! :)

I agree with many of the above. The point of level submission is to see how you can improve, not have people rave about perfection. In this case, I can’t rave mutch. It is a linear level that is very small. It seems overrated.

This is a very nice tileset. Some things I would like are missing, but not enough to severly downgrade it. Great job, Skulg!

Executor, please don’t type in all caps and flame. This level pack, however, is poor. Some parts were OK at best, but the whole experience is very linear and uninteresting, so a 2.

This level suffers from the fact that it just isn’t distinguishable from all the other darn Carrotus levels that exist. Also, as noted, including standard music just inflates pack size.
