Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files could be called the definitive version of Jazz 2. This 'plot,' though, is mostly an excuse to run around creatively designed levels and shoot tortoises.

The storyline begins three thousand years after Aesop’s The Tortoise and the Hare, when conflict between hares and tortoises escalates into war. The game has often been likened to Sonic the Hedgehog with guns. It’s a really funny, crazy timed game and you should taste some air from the '90s in this one.Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a 2D run-and-gun platformer where you control a 3-foot-tall, anthropomorphic green hare. You don’t have a deadline time like in the arcade rooms and you have to get some adrenaline going on. It is an easy game in the first modes and that was the point when it was released. In the walk-through, the time is your main enemy, even more than the terror kidnapping turtles.

Running at godspeed in every direction taking care of enemies, jumping, and bouncing gets you quick in the pace even when you barely have two minutes in front. The fast gameplay is one of the greatest hits. ReviewĮven when it first showed as a low budget copy of other successful classics, it reached some fan base and reached a space in the 1990’s game rankings. Of course, not the popularity of Sonic or Zool, but reached a nice fan base and was expanded with more episodes in 1995 included a Christmas Special. Speaking of the game itself became a classic. This was a big stand for the PC gamer community because it was one of the first games to be published for the MS-DOS software. In the early ’90s, the PC was not seen as capable to run a nice graphics videogame-like arcade.

A dynamic and fluent movement all along the obstacles of the game and the scenarios disposed of is a clear blink in the eye to the blue hedgehog. Sonic has a little influence in this game, you can see it in the first very moments of the gameplay.
