Jazz himself was humiliated and imprisoned by order of the Queen herself. This time the villain steals the wedding ring.

After Jazz rescued Princess Eva Langohr, she honored him with the title of knight and also agreed to become the hero’s wife.īut the wedding is interrupted by the newly invaded turtle army led by the immortal Devan Shella. A feature of the second part was the ability to play for the protagonist’s brother and sister – Spase Slackrabbit and Laurie Jackrabbit. The events of the game directly continue the story of the first part. The standalone version's here, at a cost of 22Mb, or if you have the original Jazz 2 installed, you can grab the teeny one.Jazz bunny 2 – a sequel about the adventures of a green rabbit named Jazz. Oddly, I experienced some nasty slowdown, which is either an incompatibility with Windows 7 or something, or 6Gb of RAM isn't enough to run a platform game from 1998. As I didn't, I can't usefully comment on how it compares to the originals. As in, idle curiosity probably isn't worth indulging - this is likely only for those who played Jazz 1/2 to death, I suspect. It's pretty enough despite the low resolution, but very early 90s in its presentation, music and mechanics. Regardless, it's up on Moddb and it features four new Jazz levels, playable as the green manrabbit himself, his sister Lori or, yes, Spaz. I'm not entirely sure which side of the legal grey zone this falls on, as it can be played without owning Jazz 2. Everything has its fans, of course - and that's why, improbably, Jazz Jackrabbit 2.5 exists.

Wait: Epic actually got away with that in a commercial game? Or is it just a term of abuse in the UK, not the US? Oh, CliffyB.
