Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Collection

While I can not say I loved this game, I can say it was a VAST improvement over game 1. Where that one felt claustrophobic for how fast you move, this title was able to zoom out and even have places designed for the speed to be enjoyed! It plays it safe, but does so with the style of it's time and still overall feels pretty good to play. Still this is a game that sadly the boss battles that should be highlights are really the low-points between being relatively nondescript enemies that you realize are bosses only because the screen locks you in and that guy over there wasn't seen before and behaviors that usually feel like you did this at the last boss for the most part. Even the last boss really only increases the difficulty by letting him run really fast (ironic for a turtle) so he's always ready to run full speed into you... not a design that would stand up today. If you are here for solid levels and a 90s nostalgia hit, this game is or you. If you are here for showcase boss battles, it just is not.

I kept playing this game because I fell in love with it at my aunt's house as a child. Anyone who happens to love both Contra and Sonic will definitely enjoy it. It's a relatively easy game if you take your time. The animated cutscenes and beautiful music are golden. I refuse to buy this game until and unless I can confirm that it runs on the original hardware it was built for. One of the main reasons I favour GOG is the fact that you still support Win7, but if you're selling a Win95 game that only runs on Win10, I don't know what to say. I would like a clarification on this, and dearly hope the game still runs on the hardware it was built for.

Geez, overpricing much? Set it at $3, maybe $5 for the pair, lots of people will buy. It's overpricing like this that encourages the p-word.

Without doubt one of the best platformer games you can get. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a smart mix of Earthworm Jim, Sonic and Co. with great control, gameplay, graphics and soundtrack. A must have for fans of Jump 'n' Run games!

One of the games that made me a gamer. It was fun, it was quick and had a great amount of replayability!
