Now, only our hero along with his spaced-out little brother, Spaz, can stop him from turning history on its ear!Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Collection includes:Jazz Jackrabbit 2 – The Secret FilesJazz, the PC platform hero, has finally made comeback with all new adventures. And great-looking sustenance it is.JAZZ IS BACK!The nefarious turtle, Devan Shell, has built a time machine as part of a diabolical plan to rewrite Carrotus’ past. What it does offer is a synthesis of previous platform greatness and sustenance. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 doesn't offer anything new. Collect french fries, pizza slices, burgers, and cans of soup for extra points. Blast through power-up-sensitive blocks to access secret areas. Again, all the classic side-scrolling elements are present. And there are plenty of secrets to be found. Whether you're after speed or depth, the game can be successfully negotiated at a Sonic-esque velocity or patiently preened for maximum hidden-area riches. ![]() And when all else fails, there's always the good old butt stomp.Ĭontrol couldn't be easier to pick up or more fluid in action, as would be expected with any side scroller worth its mustard. Jazz has a crouching super jump and a "helicopter ears" move that allows for slow descents, which when used in tandem work great to reach those difficult platforms. Spaz has a dashing side kick and a traditional double jump. The two characters differ in their signature moves. In a sense the game plays like a "best of" platform game, with no startling new inventions, but more double jumps and dashes than you can shake a stick at. And if you tire of the original levels and monsters, the game comes with a level designer - perhaps a first in platform gaming - for fully customizable levels.Īs Jazz or Spaz, you have dozens of moves at your disposal. Strutting lizards with helicopter rotors strapped to their backs? Wait until you see how they walk. Most striking though are the individual personalities of the various enemies. In all, nine different weapon power-ups are featured, from rubber balls that bounce off walls and rebound into your opponents, to pepper spray, to one of the laziest flamethrowers in the business. The same attention to detail prevails throughout: clean sprites, gorgeous flame and smoke effects, crisp parallax scrolling, and majestic backgrounds. Among the dozens of other levels are hell itself, a smurfy-looking castled Middle Ages, and the psychedelic "Purple Haze Maze" with hookah-smoking Afroed caterpillars, Mad Hatters with more than just lumps in their tea, and disappearing Cheshire Cat platforms. Colonial Chaos features swashbuckling tortoises, traditional pink Victorian architecture, and mother-in-law hippos who take no lip. Each subsequent level reaches further into the past. Armed with an arsenal of goofy ironmongery, the Freres Rabbit are hot on his tail, er, trail.īeginning in the present, the game works backwards in time. Malicious Devan has built a time machine and is racing into prehistory in an attempt to alter evolution's path and create a world without bunnies. And he'll need it, because the stakes are high for all of rabbitdom. This time around, Jazz has the aid of his little brother Spaz. This second installment once again pits Jazz Jackrabbit against evil genius and turtle Devan Shell. With smooth control, two distinct characters to play, and some of the funniest and freshest 2D level designs, monsters, and power-ups since 1995's Earthworm Jim, fans of the traditional side-scrolling platform game will not be disappointed. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was a shot in the arm of 2D gaming. All I ask is minimal assistance from you during the troubleshooting process.
