Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Collection

i've spent an entire year trying gettin past a boss at the first level. i was only 4 years old by the time i managed the get past i was 5, and i cried of joy for days. also what an amazing soundtrack.

This is one of the best if not THE best 2D Plattformer since ever. I played this in 2000 in Solo and Coop MP with my Brother and others. And it was great, we played this countless Hours. It is a great mix between Sonic, Super Mario and a little bit Mega Man. You Run and Gun trough the levels and pick up Emeralds for points, Candy for Sugar Rushs (its like a Star of Super Mario) and search for weapon upgrades or Ammo. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is fast, easy to learn and easy to play but Hard to master if you will ever get High Scores. I loved this Game back in 2000 and still love it in 2017. Im so exited GoG.com released this Masterpiece now because finding a Original Copy of this Game and getting it to work is extremly Hard. And now i can just buy and play it without Problems and even today this Game Plays Awesome. The Control key layout is like most old Games back then, you play with Arrow keys, Spacebar, CTRL and Shift keys and it works perfectly for this Game. If you are interested in 2D Plattformer dont wait, dont think. you wont get a better 2D Plattformer on PC and even on Consoles this game wold rock today.

thank you so much for uploading this game! i can't believe that i totally forgot about it.... it now waits in my download queue to get its fine backside on my desktop ;)

I played the game as a kid, loved the themes, the concept, the animation, the aesthetic, even the gameplay, but sadly, for one reason or another, the 6 year old me couldn't get into it. Principally because the levels were very confusing at the time, even if now they're incredibly "clear". I never debated, even with myself, whether this game was good, or not, I just didn't enjoy it, even if I wanted to. So now that the game has gotten re-released in this digital platform, and given I couldn't find the original disc I've had, I decided to give it a go. I was concerned however about two things: 1.- Has it aged well, and does the praise that it gets doesn't come simply from nostalgia? 2.- Aged well, or not, Will it be easy enough for a person like me? Turns out the game hasn't only aged incredibly well, the game also has multiple difficulty options, paired with the incredible jj2+ mod that is included in "Goodies & Extras" in GOG installation choices, which increases the resolution support, as well as it fixes bugs, enables multiplayer, (something which I didn't even knew this game had) and also supports "xinput" controllers such as my wireless Xbox 360 one, this makes it not only an incredible option for people to obtain the game, it is the best one that is available to download for now. Everything ranging from the level design, whether it is the aesthetic, the platforming, enemy placement, secrets, etc... It's handled with simplicity, but with care as well, and game just manages to "ooze" style from every which way direction you decided to settle your mind to. Even the level selection has multiple images that go hand, in hand with some of the levels themes. It is always varied, and it always remains fresh. Imagine something like Mario, combined with Sonic, combined with some of the humor from cartoons from the 90's, paired with guns, and weapons, and you'll get a general idea of what this game is about. It is a game that remains timeless, that's all.

From the design inspiration this game clearly took ideas from Sonic and made them better! Jazz is a fast speedy green rabbit who fights toads. The game is a fast action platformer and along the way you'll find encounter bosses and better weapons. My personal favourite is the flamethrower because you can incinerate everything in your path. The sound design and physics is what makes this game. Buttery smooth animations and bouncy physics make this a fun and fast action platformer. Overall Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a masterpiece of videogame design and a memorable soundtrack to go with it.
