What is it that makes Jazz Jackrabbit so special? Many things. The colorful graphics with extreme detail. The voices. The fluid animations. The loveable characters Jazz and Spaz (whom both have special abilities). The hillarious monsters. The many secrets in the game. The interesting level-design.... in short EVERYTHING in the game, but especially the music! If you come across a game that has better music than Jazz, please tell me. The moment you start the game, the music will embrace you in the magic world of Jazz Jackrabbit.

It all makes for solid old-school sidescrolling with modern graphics and multiplay. For platform-game fans, Jazz is the man.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 has done a wonderful job in resurrecting the age of the 2D side-scroller. It combines great visuals, imaginative gameplay, and great audio into a package that's sure to please the gamers both old and young. In spite of its bug problems and horridly written manual, I would most definitely recommend this game to any household with children getting started on the computer. I would also recommend that everyone else at least go download the demo and give it a chance. This is a great game people: no 3D engines, no blood and guts, no nightmares of horrible mutilation; just a downright FUN game.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a shot in the arm of 2D gaming. With smooth control, two distinct characters to play, and some of the funniest and freshest 2D level designs, monsters, and power-ups since Earthworm Jim, fans of the traditional side-scrolling platform game will not be disappointed.

A Project Two Interactive, revelando um óptimo sentido de oportunidade, lançou um dois em um protagonizado por um coelho famoso.

Bei Jazz Jackrabbit 2 gibt's nichts zu meckern. Flotte Grafiken, abwechslungsreiche Levels, eine fair ansteigende Lernkurve und noch dazu ein beherrschbarer Editor – das sollte jeden Hüpffreak zufriedenstellen. Technisch ist das einsteigerfreundliche Pandemonium zwar überlegen, doch für Profis und Mehrspieler-Fans ist der flotte Hase eine hervorragende Alternative.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is een knap platformspel van de oude stempel, met mooie animaties, meerdere achter elkaar scrollende achtergronden en de nodige dosis humor. Origineel kan je het zeker niet noemen, maar dat hoeft natuurlijk ook niet altijd. Dit is typisch zo'n spel dat je meestal niet langer dan een uurtje speelt, maar waar je wel blijft naar teruggrijpen. Echt iets voor nostalgische platformfanaten.

Die putzigen Zeichentrick-Animationen, die gute Spielbarkeit und die vielen Levels machen Jazz 2 zu einem lustigen Zeitvertreib (Notiz am Rande: Obwohl der bescheuerte Spaz erstklassig rülpst und ganz tolle Faxen macht, mag ich den betont coolen Jazz lieber). Schade, daß die Figuren so extrem mickrig geraten sind. Und für Profis ist das Spiel zu einfach geraten. Alles in allem reicht's auch nicht für einen Innovationspreis.

Jazz The Jackrabbit toisesta ei ole kestohitiksi, ei vaikka internet pursuaisi ilmaisia lisäkenttiä ja palvelimet pullistelisivat himokkaasta peliseurasta. Se ei myöskään missään vaiheessa innosta hurraa-huutoihin, mutta eipä se liene ollut pelintekijöiden tavoitekaan. Kelpo kierrätyksestähän tässä vain loppujen lopuksi on kyse.

Nicht nur gesellige Karnickelfreunde werden an Jackrabbit ihren Spaß haben, obwohl die munter scrollende 2D-Grafik schon reichlich betagt aussieht. Das liegt in erster Linie an der rasanten Spieldynamik, die für Langeweile keinen Raum läßt. Klar, irgendwie waren die meisten Ideen schon mal da, aber die durchdachten Levels machen die Hasenhatz nie unfair. Lobend erwähnt sei die jederzeit aufrufbare Speicherfunktion. Gut haben mir auch die Multiplayer-Modi gefallen. Wenn Sie von einem Hüpf- und Springspiel keine Grafikwunder, dafür aber durchdesignte Levels erwarten, sollten Sie Jazz und Spaz ein Heim auf Ihrer Festplatte einräumen

If you've never owned a console system or aren't already sick of the genre, Jazz 2 is as good a sampling of the genre as exists today on the PC. While it doesn't try to innovate like Oddworld, it can win you over with its unpretentious charms.

Logicware's Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a nice throwback to the 16 bit games of the early 90s. With its frantic, colorful action and constant barrage of noise and music, it seems that the only thing missing is the singsong "Sega" announced when the game's turned on. The developers took the nostalgic approach all the way to the splash screens, dressing up Jazz as Prince from his "Purple Rain" days (the Jackrabbit formerly known as Jazz?) and as Michael J. Fox ala "Back to the Future." Former Sega owners will also recall that Sonic's buddy Tails made his first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Jazz is now in his second chapter, so he also gets a companion, his little brother Spaz.

Alles in allem ist Jazz 2 ein nettes Jump-and-run für nostalgisch gestimmte Hoppel-Freunde. Kratzer bei Steuerung und Leveldesign nagen aber an der Spielspaß-Wertung.

Lastly, while those pinball levels are kind of cool looking, they're nigh onto impossible to negotiate these things in a stronger arcade game, but Jazz Jackrabbit 2 just isn't that game.
