Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

Good things:

+ idea
+ real water

Bad things

i think that tileset is bit hard to use.

Well, here’s a reivew… Something I haven’t obviously done in a while.

First off, it’s not a clearly original tileset so that won’t make things too great. However, it is Sonic so I enjoy it. It’s a very nice Sonic rip might I add, and the masking seems very good as well.

Download if ya like Sonic… or something.

WOOT! Will review after! But looks good. Sonic! =D

EDIT: Okay, here’s a short review.

Eyecandy: Nothing incredibly remarkable – it’s Marble Gardens (one of my favourite themes from Sonic 3). Though not spectacular, it’s perfectly acceptable. The background kinda clashes with the rest of the tiles, however. Also, the night version appears to just have an altered palette. It’d be nice to have a few more extra touches to make it more distinguishable.

Tiles: Most of what’s needed is here. Not much to say really. It looks fairly easy to piece a level together with, especially if you’ve played Sonic 3 (who hasn’t?) and know how the tiles should fit together.

Overall, it’s a fairly nice conversion. Nothing over the top wow, but it’s nice nonetheless, especially as a conversion. Download recommended, easily beats out the old ‘Mobius’ and ‘Super Emerald’ sets I have in my folder. =)[This review has been edited by defalcon]

No rating just yet, but here’s a suggestion. Many, many times the level was Jazz-unfriendly, making him do extra work to get through. Try not to let that happen. Also, try to put most of your food on the normal route, rather than slightly off of it.

The eyecandy thing is bad because my vision sucks.

But thanks for your review, I´ll keep an eye of the eyecandy in my future levels.

This is good but the eyecandy seriously stinks in the background. The tiles don’t go together, and the author stuck in little peices of adjacent tiles and didn’t bother to take them out. The vspeed is messed up so you can see the bottoms of the background. You’d be better off without it. The rest of the level is just fine. Good enemy placement, good ammo placement… good eyecandy in the sprite layer. Download reccomendation, but not for the eyecandy.

Spotty, the word you’re looking for is “canon”. :P

Anyway, aside from the blatant overuse of the diamond wall tiles, this is about as close to a perfect replication of Diamondus Warzone as you could get with the J1 tileset (the only real problem I noticed being the missing spring mentioned above. Fix that. Also, a few minor inconsistancies around the pole shaft actually make it a little easier for Jazz to get around. Although this isn’t major and it really helps a bit, some people might rise up in arms over it.). However, although this was made in the interests of duplication, the eyecandy is rather sparse everywhere but the bottom (which looks rather nice) and the background is still bare. An extra tree here and there could only help your score out. Moreover, move the text events somewhere away from the bases where they aren’t in the main vein of gameplay. Perhaps somewhere in the corners would work well.

On the plus side, the shield has been removed, although that’s a rather standard edit. I also noticed no masking bugs while playing around in it.

Overall, there really isn’t too much to say about this. It’s DW, only with a different face. I can’t give it that high of a rating merely because it’s a remake, although a good one at that. It does what it’s supposed to do, but not much more. My compliments to you, LR.

It’s useful though. It serves it’s purpose well enough, and it’s something special. I find no flaws.

No cons! Plenty of pros! 10!

It’s EMERALDus, of course it’s green!! He’s a beginner, and everyone’s a rookie at some point! That’s okay!

I give it a five!

Good to see people are making variations for overplayed levels. Anyhow some solid work was put into this remake of the famous level, but some minor details were still overlooked. Like the eyecandy in full energy room, there are some breaks in the background in that room. Another thing is a missing spring under red base. The sky could use a little bit of improving as well, it looks a bit plain and isn’t very lively. Other then these minor glitches though the level has been transformed very well with some nice usage of waterfalls and trees. The eycandy is pretty good with all the original usages that were done. For the future I would add some original things to the level that would make it more fun or if you want to stick exactly to its original design make it more “cannon”.(Cannon being exactly same)

Hmm. you should keep this work up, dx dc.
this level was good.

Sorry you don’t now the tileset ill put a paint in there.

cool hotel level!
nice minigames, and lots of stuff
level is big also.

Kindly include the tileset.

I dont have enough time for a long review so a short one will have to do:
The level is kinda nice. Layout may be a bit strange and I don’t like it all that well, and at first the powerups were very difficult for me to find, so I cant imagine a new player dueling in this level who has never seen it before. Gameplay is ok. Eyecandy is also ok, nothing very new or special about it. I would say that a person who knows this level the most would have a greater advantage in a duel, due to the fact that there are no clues to where the warps and powerups are. But the level is worth checking, and Scizor improved it a lot from its original state. You should download this to see it or try it out.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that little camping is involved. For some this may be good, but for others like me who like to camp, it isnt. Where the powerups are hidden is also a dead end. You can easily be trapped in there with another player covering the exit and shooting. Though finding all the powerups was fun, I think I would of liked it better if they were in the open. To comment more on the eyecandy, it is a bit boring. Your basic colonius eyecandy, more or less. This could of easily gotten a higher rating if the eyecandy was improved a bit. As for the ammo, I find it placed ok, I usually go for the powerups cause the one who has them has the advantage. Also, about the warps. I don’t know why they are there, and there is no hint pointing to where they are located. I would of thought of them as ok if they were more efficently placed and had some hints pointing to where they are. There are several other cons in this level, but they dont damage the rating much. The level is good for a first one, and with just a little improving you can reach an 8 or a 9 with your levels. Anyways, 7 for now, and a download reccomendation.

Technoir is one of my favroite songs (I pronounce Technoir), I have to agree with JelZe. And no offence, to me this sounds messed up.

Um..too messy. No dowload recommendation, sorry.

I kinda like it but I preffer the origional. Don’t like the beat so much.

It sounds like it has a rip from the menu song and tubeletric one..
I like the first part, I love techno ;p
A bit too fast for me though..
