Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Well, nobody has reviewed this pack so far, so I’ll do my best and write a little bit about it.

Played with: Spaz
Difficulty mode: Medium
Playing time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Playability:
Most levels in the pack are pretty basic. You run around, shoot enemies, collect goodies and way too much ammo, and somehow find the exit. A storyline or some original stuff would make playbility much better. A little break is the diamondus level, which has lots of witches, which were fun to beat. Rating: 6.2*

Creativity:
Creativity is where the pack fails. Like described in the playbility part, there’s hardly anything which stands out in memory, nothing really creative. What about including some puzzles for example? Would be much more fun then. Or maybe a special arena for boss fights, a story line, whatever?
Rating: 3.0

Balance:
All levels, excluding the Diamondus level, were too easy, mainly because enemies were not used strategically and there were no puzzles. The difficulty should be boosted a lot, by using the enemies in places where they have an advantage. For example, flying enemies like bats or ravens can get through walls, while Jazz can’t. That can easily be used to their advantage, making it more difficult and challenging.
Score: 5.0

Eyecandy:
The eyecandy needs to be drastically improved imo. Most levels have tilebugs and too less eyecandy. Do something original, infact, make it look different than the standard levels + make it look good.
Score: 6.0**

Fun Factor***:
It may sounded like this pack was really bad, but well, it’s not that horrible. Some of the levels, especially level 8, my favourite one were pretty fun, and if you’re a fan of lots of ammo and enemies, you’ll like this. If the eyecandy is made better, a few unusual things get added, and the difficulty gets boosted the pack will be pretty fun, so I’ll give it a 6.0 for now.
Score: 6.0

Overall:
I’ll give the pack a 5 for now, as I guess it took very long to build it. Still there are several things which need to be improved, remember, BE CREATIVE! Once your stuff is different than other’s stuff, it will get much more enjoyable to play. Good luck!

PS: Feel free to contact me for more help, betatesting or whatever.

EDIT: I’m not sure about download reccommendation, so I’ll check N/A.

EDIT 2: Be careful to use less ammo next time. ;-)

EDIT 3:

• The rating for Playability was raised to a 6.2, because it seems I have counted to much on the non-existing story, which the author planned not to make.

** The eyecandy rating was increased to 6.0, because the author has bad vision and therefore the tilebugs are not his fault.

*** Due to the complains of some people I’ve rated Fun Factor instead of Story, which increases the overall rating a 6.2

This Assult level is diffrent then any assault level I’ve seen (not that I see alot lol).
Anyway let;s start in reviewing the eyecandy – defenetly a rich and enjoyful one nice job Reptile!.
background is nice as well.
The use in the set is pretty good but I think that in this level you made too much ways that gone up and you made many many copters that makes it kinda boring during the play I think you should have done other ways of the way upon the level with same thing to get there – copters.
I can’t say the game play aint good it is just fine and the thing with the weapon locker its awesome and a really good idea that has been taken from another game.
Oh and I recommand playing this level with at least 8 people or less.
This level is great. download recommendation.
Forgive me about my lame english im too lazy to fix my errors lol.

Well the level is a bit at the small kind of assaults but is really a great competitive level i love it so i say download this level its great
(Unsupported rating (8) removal. You did try when writing this review, but it’s still a little short – your two points, as far as I can tell, are “this is smaller than some Assaults” and “this is a good competitive level”. You didn’t quite explain how the first affects the rating or back up the second. And your review isn’t three lines long. Try a little harder. ~Violet)

Uh axe, that’s cool to say but you might want to consider uploading the actual level too, you forgot that :P

this level was builded by me axe and by RoR mat in early 2002 i thought it was fun the re launch the level maybe inspire people to build a new version the level now has been included in the zip file

Don’t stop making music. All your songs are great. If you decide to stop releasing stuff on J2O or on the JCF, send it to me or something by email. I make songs with Modplug all the time and I usually only end up showing them to Blackraptor. And Blacky vise-versa.

On a side note, I’d like to say that this is most definetely Tubelectric. =P

Anyway, as for a review of sorts, my biggest complaint is that the song takes a very long time to build up. It’s one of those songs that start out with a single percussion instrument, then keep adding another every measure, until finally the song reaches a percussional climax. It’s also a bit too long / dragged out.

Instrument choice is nice, the drum beat is great, and the overall mood is also a plus. Now stop having bad self esteem and keep making music.

Download reccomendation.

this level is verry old i played it yesterday Buts its fun to play in it

Including levels without tilesets is bad. Including tilesets without levels is worse.

This is only a tileset…

its ok but i still fail to see a good one
(Unsupported rating (4) removal. Please explain why this upload is “ok”. What was the eyecandy like? Level design? Gameplay? Anything? Surely you can write more than this! I also took the liberty of fixing your code. ~Violet)

I like how no one bothered to replaceJazz Start with a MP start in Deserted Paradise for something like six months.

i know how scrooge uses the robot under you when fighting he/she but a layer 3
inside the platform inside it is deven but badd tiles sorry
(Unsupported rating (1) removal. You are not supposed to rate the example levels. That leaves you with the complete review of “badd tiles”, which contains one spelling error and two words. This is unaccceptable. You must explain why the tiles are bad in a way that people can understand. ~Violet)

good day good night good….pink?

Deserted Paradise CTF

Bleh….no music. Anyways, the eyecandy here is good. Lots of things to look at while running. Flow was alright except a few times a spring jutted me into a ceiling corner while running. Layout is alright, although it sorta looks…puzzling. Like one of those level layouts you have to play over and over many times to understand. Ammo was creative, but I think you used too much different types of it, and the ice is sorta useless..Powerups are ok. The level in general is decent, but I think its one of those levels like Battle1 and Garden Brawl that you have to play over and over to really enjoy.
Rating: 7.5

Carrotus Square
K. Firstly, the blue base faces the wrong way =P. So is the red base, depending where you come from. Several places in the level I though could’ve used some floatups or springs, since I had to slow down to avoid crashing into things/jump a lot. There were a few tile bugs, and the eyecandy was dull in a lot of places, and could’ve used more originality. The coinwarp imo gives too much stuff, and people could easily just camp there (with a seeker powerup, another blaster powerup, and a full energy within grasp, who needs to run around? =P). I might like the layout (except for a lot of things that could’ve been fixed with the flow, and the coinwarp) a bit better than in the last level, at least on first impression. I also appear to be missing my vital earcandy for this (\o/ new word).
Rating: 7 (almost a 6.9).

Average: 7.25 ~ 7.3. I might’ve expected a bit more from J2LC, but at least they released something, and the levels aren’t bad. I’d suggest downloading this Especially if you want some hardcore gameboy-eating action

how did you get the inverty background?
(Completely unsupported (7.5) rating removal. Do not just randomly give a rating. Explain your rating by talking about the upload in an understandable fashion. ~Violet)

i cant beat this and its not that fun soooooooo…..1.2
(Unsupported rating removal. Good job on rating something because you can’t beat it. In any case, you need to give more detail than this. What were the levels like? Why couldn’t you beat them? Do the levels have anything else to them besides fun factor? ~Violet)
