Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files
Description
The Secret Files contains Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and an additional separate episode. It features nine new levels containing new textures, and enables the player to control a third character, Lori. In almost each level there are alternate routes that the player can take.
If players complete the nine levels they may try their luck in twenty other levels that were created by fans of the game, including the single-player level, "A sting in your tail!". Like the base game, this edition includes JCS, the Jazz Creation Station, where gamers have the opportunity to build their own levels.

One new character. One new episode. Many hours fulfilled with happiness.
The Good
Now you can once again blast armies of turtles, but this time you can choose a new character - Lori. She has ability of use "ear-copter" like Jazz, and she can punch her enemies like Spaz.
You also get a whole new episode and a PLENTY of user-made levels (most of them are multiplayer levels). In this new episode, called "The Secret Files" (abbreviated to "TSF") you will fight in haunted house, city (not this Victorian city from "Jazz 2"!) and land of (probably) never-ending easter. Of course new music is included.
The Bad
The same things as in original "Jazz 2" - small screen size, problems with wall clipping, but there comes one more: "TSF" allows levels with bigger tileset (tileset is a image, which contains elements used to construct levels), so these level are unplayable in regular "Jazz 2". And these "easter" levels look like "carrotus" levels, but they are colored differently.
The Bottom Line
If you enjoyed "Jazz Jackrabbit 2", you will also like this one. These new levels are very fun to play. And, of course, multiplayer is allowed, so play it with your friends! And don't forget to make breaks to eat and toilet ;)

Trivia
Development
Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files was originally planned to be called Diamond Edition (this is why the title screen shows Jazz carrying a diamond). Another last-minute change was that Lori was made into Spaz's sister instead of his girlfriend.
