A blend of console and PC wonders !
Meet Jazz Jackrabbit, a green bunny with a red bandana, a massive gun and, most importantly of all, an overload of attitude ! Eva, Jazz' beloved blue bunny girlfriend has been kidnapped by Devan Shell and his army of turtle terrorists and Jazz is having none of it. A journey starts that takes our furry protagonist to dozens of diverse planets, each with their own themes, like jungles, factories and castles. At first glance this game does have some clear similarities to other platformers of its era. After a few minutes, however, it becomes clear the developers really thought about what elements they had to borrow from their competitors to make something unique. It's one of those titles that blends elements from other games into something that not only works well, but also feels like a totally unique and valid experience in its own right. The best way to describe this game is as a blend between SEGA's console-based Sonic the Hedgehog series and the PC-based platformers of the time like Duke Nukem. The fast-paced running gameplay and cool-yet-furry protagonist are reminiscent of Sonic. The 80's action hero-esque focus on weapons and shooting enemies, on the other hand, resembles Apogee's DOS classics like Duke Nukem, Bio Menace and Alien Carnage. Its this blend of gameplay styles that makes the game so engaging to this day. Add in an amazing soundtrack, colourful VGA graphics and a whole host of bizarre and creative enemies and you have one of the best DOS-era platformers. This version is easily the best, most complete version of the game, finally bringing all of the original episodes and the various expansions together in a single release. This includes not only the original six episodes, but also three episodes exclusive to the CD-ROM version and the two rather quirky 'Holiday Hare' episodes released for the Christmas seasons of 1994 and 1995. There's a lot whole lot of levels and a whole lot of attitude in this long-overdue GoG release. Get it !
