It’s harder than the original game and has some cool settings, like the haunted mansion environment. Not only does it have all the content of the original game, but it also includes the 9-level Secret Files title episode, the Holiday Hare freeware episode, twenty-three new single and multiplayer levels, plus a new character (Jazz’s sister Lori). 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.
Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a 2D run-and-gun platformer where you control a 3-foot-tall, anthropomorphic green hare.
