Jazz Jackrabbit 2’s gameplay is characterized by a large amount of guns to choose from. Levels usually require little or no thinking: if puzzles are present, they are rather easy to solve, not blocking progress for more than ten seconds. Bosses are harder to kill and have way better Artificial Intelligence than normal enemies. Enemies are characterized by “Artificial Stupidity” rather than “Artificial Intelligence”: usually, enemies will simply charge right at the player, even when shots are being fired in its direction.Įvery four or five levels the player will face an end boss – an extra hard-to-kill enemy characterizing a set of levels using one tileset. Destroying enemies is done by either shooting, buttstomping or performing the character’s special moves at them – though not all enemies are equally easy to kill: some have to be shot multiple times to be destroyed. The main objective in most official Single Player levels is simply reaching the exit, destroying as much enemies as possible on one’s way to it. Levels are designed to be completed quickly, and it is possible to run quite fast by holding the Shift key. The game is shown in a 2D view, which scrolls as the player moves through the level. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 can be classified as a “side-scrolling shooter”, but it also has platform elements.
