As I didn't, I can't usefully comment on how it compares to the originals. As in, idle curiosity probably isn't worth indulging - this is likely only for those who played Jazz 1/2 to death, I suspect. It's pretty enough despite the low resolution, but very early 90s in its presentation, music and mechanics. Regardless, it's up on Moddb and it features four new Jazz levels, playable as the green manrabbit himself, his sister Lori or, yes, Spaz. I'm not entirely sure which side of the legal grey zone this falls on, as it can be played without owning Jazz 2. Everything has its fans, of course - and that's why, improbably, Jazz Jackrabbit 2.5 exists.

It was huge in 1994 because the PC really didn't get many of the platformers that were utterly pervasive on the SNES and Megadrive, but 1998's Spaz-co-starring sequel was the lurid lagomorph's last gasp, bar an unnsuccessful Gameboy Advance jobbie in 2002. The gifts you've given us over the years.Īnyway, the retromancers amongst you may be interested to fiddle with this fan-made semi-sequel to Epic's old Sonic rival. I was not previously aware that 90s platformer Jazz Jackrabbit 2 featured the titular bunny's brother, a bug-eyed, drooling loon called - their name, not mine - 'Spaz.' Wait: Epic actually got away with that in a commercial game? Or is it just a term of abuse in the UK, not the US? Oh, CliffyB.

Surely, after all this years, next to the game Claw, this is THE best platformer I have ever played.Ah. The graphics are very nice and detailed, with a lot of nice coloring and very original level design. The game is very fun, very dynamic and very, very good. His guns get upgrades as the game progresses, but his enemies are a lot tougher for him to handle. Jazz Jackrabbit is a very fast paced game, since Jazz moves very quickly and all of it is over before you know it. He collects carrots (because that's what rabbits eat) and other various items as he goes from one fantastically designed level to the next, jumping over platforms and other terrains, all in crazy, delirious fun. The main hero is our Jazz Jackrabbit, who moves with the speed of light, armed with a big gun, and has to eliminate all foes that stand in his way.

Jazz Jackrabbit is a fantastic side scrolling shooter game that should be set as an example just how a good shooter game should look and play like.
