Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Wargh! Too nice for words.. Now, a few then.

Eyecandy is the best. Top. Super. Total good. Verygood use of the tilesets, nice that “blah nice blah super blah good”.

Gampplay is good, but not so nice like the eyecandy. Let’s upload it.

PU&Weapon Placement is pretty amazin’. Here and there some Bouncys, There and here what Peppys. Nice.

Music rocks. That’s the only what i can say. Let’s say it. I say it. Yeah?

Overall: Tha best battle pack (Err.. Blade’s BP have that too.) ever. Download this now or you are a chicken leg.

Hmmm, I’m supposed to comment on this, but I cant really. Sure I can say the usual stuff like “This is a CTF pack with 10 levels made by futuristic tilesets blah blah”, but this deserves more. Sure it’s a CTF pack, but its not just any CTF pack, its the best CTF pack I’ve seen.

The amount of time spent on eye candy and design, even to the smallest degree amazes me, each level is unique from the other, but all still keep the same futuristic theme. Good job boss, shame on the rating, I think you deserve higher.

OKAY lets start reviewing, first off all lets start about the eyecandy. Well, in all the levels I saw there is great Eyecandy, like moving starships and those space rocks etc etc, the layer 5/7 is nice too. Maybe a bit to much layer 3, some times I see something and think its a masked layer 4 so I try to go on it but…its layer 3 and I fell down. Bleh!
The Ammo-placement is good placed, but on some places in several levels there are bunch of mixed ammo, which really irritate me some times, because I have to switch weapons etc. The distance between the flag bases are long enaugh, except in small levels, then its way too short. Anyway I dont have much time left to review, together Its a really nice Pack and a Download recommendation from me. Well Done.

Dont mind my Typo’s :p[This review has been edited by Super Saiyan]

Space reserved for 6th review. When I get around to d/ling this..

A very nice pack indeed, but the rating is drawn back by some not-so-good levels like FoRceDraw and the Space Warbase one.

Still, a must have FoR any true Jazzer, as it still contains levels like ClAuStRo and Blastring Tron Project.[This review has been edited by RagE XR]

I’m one of Shadows biggest fans. I want second review (coming later :-).[This review has been edited by Aiko]

Well, almost a year after the release of the first beta version, the future evolution is finaly here. Counting 10 levels, 10 tilesets and 10 music files, this one one of the best CTF packs i have seen here yet.

Eyecandy is without doubt the strongest aspect in this pack. Each of the tilesets was pushed to its very limits, and with a great result: each of the levels looks outstanding, and is makes nearly perfect use of the chosen tilesets. Space stations, other dimensions, chemical labs; you’ll find it all in the future evolution.

Gameplay and layouts aren’t as good as the eyecandy, but still way above average. The first 7 levels are way big, and have very good layouts. Springs and waprs are well placed, and every level has some interesting details and secrets to discover. There are hidden tubes, warps and other fun things included in each level. Gameplay was a bit nasty in some spots, because of some useless obstacles and wrongly placed springs or platforms. The things that kinda anoyed me was that the last 3 levels, Ext-morse, Deeply Rage and Astroni-Ave where a bit too small to my liking. It would have been beter if the smaller levels would be mixed with the larger ones, creating a more enjoyable level loop.

The ammo placement is pretty good in this pack, and i don’t have much complaints or other coments about it. Ammo has been well devided across all levels, making it unlikely that you’ll be runing around with only your blaster to defend yourself. Powerup placement is very good as well. Powerups have all been placed a good distence away from each other, unlike in some other levels I’ve seen, in which you could just see 2 powerups on your screen. Carrot placement i consider a weak spot in most this packs levels. The best way to place carrots in a CTF level, imo, is to put in 1 to 2 full energys, and 1 to 2 normal carrots, in case you use only one full energy.

I’m not too much of a fan of some of the music choices in this pack, but the music selection of especialy the first 4 levels is very good. The pack includes some awesome music files like Skaven’s Return of the cats and Necros’ origenal version of the No Regret song.

To sum it up: the Future Evolution is really a MuSt DoWnLoAd for every Jazz2 player. Like Aiko once said: If you don’t download this, you don’t download anything, because you can’t be a jazz2 player in that case.[This review has been edited by >CelL<]

2 Great lvls again by Shadow ( :p ) That use the Tilesets ‘‘Town House 1 and 2’‘ Very good. The Lvls Are really nice.

Wow! A pretty nice Ctf Pack. Good Lvls. Good music….. This is for me The best Ctf pack ever…. Only some little bugs [This review has been edited by umbaman]

Nice stuff here Shad. From version one to now there is extreme improvement and I love the layout that is now there. The level is quite easy to learn and fun once the layout is mastered. Balanced and chock full of good stuff.

Download this.

Very Nice, Two thumbs up. I approve for download!

The level “Slab Ratz” is quite a very good peice of work. I seem to have a weird and unique way of making levels, and this one seems to fit my style a lot. The eyecandy is great and fits well placed. Good amount of the foreground layers, too. The weapon placement is good, but some places seem to have too much. Not a big deal. The gameplay is okay, but for Jazz it can be a bit hard to move at times. Even with Spaz if you don’t know the level properly. Overall, “Slab Ratz” is another quality level made by Shadow of GpW. Good job!

Overall this lvl aint half bad the eyecandy is good the weapon placement is a little in excess in some places, a bit small aswell but that just makes for a fast paced action game. :)

I haven’t played a lot of CTF levels so I may not be a good judge of this one, but…I have to say I like it. The level is really nice. Moving from base to base is fun, weapon placement is good. There aren’t too many ways in and out of the bases, etc…

The only gripe I have with it is one of personal taste. I really don’t like it when people use the standard sets. There are so many good custom sets out there that I really don’t see the point in recycling the original sets over and over again.

Still this is only a minor problem, so you get an 8.5 from me.

!!!
Roseta, isn’t that rate a bit too low?…
This is lvl is Good.

As far as I know, I like it :P

It uses nice eye-candy (in traditional Shadow style), a good layout, and is kept down to a smaller size which can be good for faster gameplay or could require less people to play in it. I wouldn’t agree that all CTF levels should be big; a little variety in size never hurt anyone. Anyway, download this now!

p.s. Ugh, now I have to wait even longer for Future Evolution. It better be worth the wait :P

Blasting Tron Project suxord ;P

Small sized CTF levle by Shadow, lots of eye-candy and layer useage, too small makign it easy to get between bases which I don’t like- CTF should be big (I lower points for that nto because of my taste but because it makes it less fun).
Has food= sugar rush= fun :D
Ammo is not over used but very good placement.

Hm. Nice level by Shadow. Well devised layout, bases where strategicly well placed. Weapen layout is good too, well devided across the entire map. The eyecandy is good too, very good even, but nothing that left me completely breathless. Come on Shad, you can do beter with this tileset. We’ve all seen “Blasting tron project” from FE, wich uses this set too, and i must say that to me, it looked much beter then this. But ah well, i’m rating this level individualy, not comparing it to Shadow’s other work. Also included is some yummy food in this level, i like that, not many people use it these days;). Some parts in this level looks they where directly copy/pasted from “Darker Science”, but if they where, i guess its ok, ‘cuz Shadow made “Darker Science” Himself:P. Design is sorta tight, but fluently playable, good for a CTF match with 4-6 people. A nice litle music file by music master Necros was included, wich i dont think fits that much in this level. I must say, that even though this wont become one of my favorite J2LC levels of all time, the whole thing looks pretty good. 7.2 Points here, and a download recomendation.

well, well…a level by shadow. i’ve played this on the net, not downloaded it from here. anyway, the review:

I had a lot of fun playing this level. in some places, foreground can be a little confusing/annoying. Weapons placement was good, In a few places it seemed like there were just a few too many weapons. not enough of a problem to lower the rating, though. The level layout was alright..it was actually really good, but i didnt understand it. =p I can’t comment on the music, as i played this online and didnt have the file. overall a 9.2 from me..great work. wow, this is like the longest review i’ve ever done. i want to be more than a medium reviewer! agh. ah well. good level. download it.
