Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

thank you for the review I’ll take that in to consideration on the next level I make.

It’s been a while since I wrote a proper review, so here goes.

EYECANDY

The eyecandy here is too much. There are some very annoying fast flashing Crystals in the background and some flashing stars in the foreground.
There is some good use of the lightning events but as PJ says the eyecandy is too much “in your face” as it is very distracting and you might get a headache if you look at it too long.

4/10

GAMEPLAY AND FLOW

The level is big but far too open. Because of the very distracting eyecandy and the off putting ambient sound events used here it makes it very hard to play a decent CTF match here.

5/10

WEAPONS & CARROT PLACEMENT

There are Power-ups which can be found easily and can be kicked to instantly gain 50 ammo. Even if you don’t kick them there are still HUGE clusters of ammo spread out through the entire level making it easy to gain 50 ammo on all weapons.
There is one Full NRG Carrot hidden amongst all the Pepper Spray and “500” Pinball Bumbers but it would be hard to notice due to the very distracting eyecandy.
Placement is OK but the amount of ammo pickups is too much.

4/10

TOTAL SCORE: 13/30
OVERALL MARK = 13 / 3 = 4.3333333333333333333333333333333
Rounded to 4.3

DOWNLOAD?

BlA5tFiRe has put a lot of effort in this level, but the eyecandy here is too much and can get very distracting.
So, I can’t recommend downloading this unless you like a lot of flashing.

The fact that the eyecandy feels so “in your face” because it is very overdone, and some of the animations and sound effects were annoying enough to distract you from the gameplay, means that this level was just not fun.
The layout is also extremely open, encouraging mindless weapon spam.

If you like chaos, download this, else don’t bother.
