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.

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.
