The game delivers eight full episodes, encompassing both the original and subsequent bonus packs, each with multiple levels, plus a convenient split-screen mode, LAN and even internet play (a first for the genre). It’s a typical side-scrolling run-and-jump platform title, featuring three characters, each with its own moves. The initial ’98 release of Jazz 2 lead to this rare ’99 Easter special, featuring everything from the original plus one new playable character and bonus episode.Ī truly guilty pleasure, Jazz 2 has an incredibly rich feature set for a platformer.
The game itself is actually pretty good, a well-executed but ultimately semi-hyperactive version of Sega’s Sonic series, with fast action and vivid explosions of color and light. Perhaps it’s a shrewd move rather than launch with a high-profile title that’s trying to compete in established genres, it goes out there with a small title for a small but loyal fan base. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a curious launch for the heavily-hyped über publisher Gathering of Developers.
