Jazz is back in his second adventure. Jazz must chase Devan Shell through time to retrieve his wedding ring, which he planned to wed Eva Earlong with. This time, Jazz has the help of the Brother, Spaz.

Overview

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a fast paced action platformer set in a 2D enviroment. In it, you take on the role of either Jazz Jackrabbit or his little brother Spaz and embark on an adventure in Wonderland and even past time, to retrive Eva Earlong's (Jazz's future wife) wedding ring from the villainous Devan Shell.

Gameplay

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 plays alot like a platformer and is similiar to Sonic The Hedgehog in alot ways. JJ2 features spring pads, travelling by tubes and both characters jump in a ball shaped formation. There's also alot of action-oriented puzzles.

However compared to Sonic, there's alot of emphasis on shooting and action and so the game is also similiar to Earthworm Jim. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 features a large variety of weapons, such as homing rockets, ice beams, flame throwers and TNT, most of wich can be upgraded for higher damage.

As mentioned, you can choose to either play as Jazz or Spaz and both have their pros and cons. Jazz can use his ears to hover in the air (much like Earthworm Jim) and do a jumping Uppercut while Spaz can double jump in mid air and karate kick. Both characters can do a Butt Stomp.

Multiplayer

The game features a large amount of multiplayer options and game modes. There's options to either play split-screen, on LAN or on the internet. The game can be played either cooperative or against eachother. Some of the modes featured are:

Cooperative - Play through the single player with a friend, can not be played on the internet.
Battle - Free For All Deathmatch, who ever has got the most "roasts" (kills) wins.
CTF - Standard red versus blue Capture the Flag.
Race - Who is faster?
Treasure Hunt - The person to collect 100 gems and find the exit first, wins.
