Whew! I must say that i was rather impressed by these levels. They use a number of underused tilesets, Dethman’s AWESOME MeZmErIzE tileset to name one.
The design in these levels is splendid, and very easy to get around in. I’m glad to see a treasure pack here, because this game-mode is so darn underused, while it can be great fun having a good treasure game with 4-8 people. The gems in these levels are very well placed too. A good amount in each level, with diferent kinds spread well.
There is a great use of triger efects, like gems coming down out of the sky after stomping a triger crate and such. Eyecandy is also very good, these levels look just totaly terific to me, wich may be partly because of the fact they use a few of my favorite tilesets, but thats allright:P.
Tileset use in most levels is also very origenal in most levels, “Pitch Black” using the castle tileset to name one. This level makes use of the Castle tileset in a way i have no other level ever do before. Another good example is “End of hours” using the MeZmErIzE set. MeZmErIzE is probably my favorite Dethman set, its looks totally awesome, and is very easy to work with. The use of the tileset by BlurredD is just splendid, and has sort of a mythical atmosphere to it. I also liked the looks of the “Dark Awakening” level, using DehMan’s “Cyberspaz 2V” set. This tileset has a very cool industrial, dirty look, and even though it was auto-masked(lazy DethD00d:P), and looks a litle unfinished at some parts, its great to work with, and can result into great eyecandy if used properly, as this level well shows. Its got a great look, all tiles look so complexly put together, and i’m guessing that BlurredD used at least 6 diferent layers to achieve these tile combinations.
The music here is also very cool. It uses a few rocking background modules by elite music trackers. Tunes like “Blade” by Cyberzip and Shutdown left me completely breathless. Another well chosen adition was “The ZARATHUSTRA” by Drax, wich has a good egyptian sound to it, and was origenally chosen by Agama as one of the default music files for his awesome “Egypt” tilesets. These music files all fit the levels perfectly. I only did’nt totally like hearing the “Labrat” tune. I somehow dont like this music file, and would have liked hearing something else in its place, but still, i guess it fits good.
To sum it up, i must say i am very, VERY impressed by this pack, certainly regarding its only BlurredD’s first(!) J2O release. After long hours of thought, i have decided to reward “Lost Gemz, Volume 1” with a very high 8.5(!) points, and a BIG FAT download recomendation to everyone, treasure fans or not.[This review has been edited by >CelL<]
I say, nice work here from Blade and Wille! This is some of the most superB level design and gameplay i`ve seen around here for a while. The weapen and enemy placement is very well balenced. I highly recomend downloading this for the holiday seasen! `Nuff said.

Well, here goes:-P. The level space port by Skater is a fairly nice level. Somehow i cant imagine its your best level, i have seen somewhat beter work out`a you. Tileset not included: -0.3 points. Download recomendation? Sory, no.

Once again, WoW! Blade has outdone himself with this brand-new awesome looking tileset! The new levels, the ad-ons for Blades battle pack 2, are also of high quility. I recomend downloading this to every battle, tileset and music freak, and anyone who just likes Police oficiers Jazz2.

I downloaded this a long while ago,

Nice level pack.I never had so much action since RHG came out. The layout in the levels is very good, although i have come acros some tiles that where`nt proparly used. But, like some people said before me, the pickups are way to many, especialy food. I got at least one suger rush in each level. I
remember of geting even about 6 suger rushes in Backstreet Rabbits. But besides that it is a very good level
pack. Btw, like i said before, this is NOT the bigest level pack for single player. The bigest is Rabbit honer guard(it has 70 levels).
Btw, another jazz2 fan, the first level was Spike beach. :-0

My turn! This level is realy very well built. The ammo placement is vey well balenced. Miky-wiky made very good use of the Diamondus conversion by Toxicbunny. I recomend downloading this to all battle and JJ1 fans!
~>CelL<
It looks like Skulg`z made another nice tileset for us folk`z! Sunset in town is a very origenal tileset, although i do think itcould have had a few more tiles. D/L recomendation? Yes.
~>CelL<
I (sorta) like the idea of this level. I`m not realy a fan of RPG like tilesets, but i must say this is not a bad level at all. Keep up the good work Crack-pot!:-D.

This is realy one of the best level packs out there. With CtF being a not that popular game mode, i`m pleased to see that there are stillsuch good CtF levels out there. Nothing more to ad to the other 1O reviews, cuz all the good things are pretty much taken:-).

Nift-o rific pack `ya got here Blade. These are some of the best battle levels i`ve ever seen on this site, or anywhere else! The design is almost perfect and its got smooth gameplay. There are a few dead ends, but thats not so bad. The music selection is great. Only almost every music file stops playing at one point, and then you dont hear no music at all until you die, or go to the next level, but i guess thats not your fault. Keep up the good work!The only thing that keeps you from geting a 10.0 is that it doesnt have as much feel as real clasic levels like SandStrand O’ Hazes by Spy for example. Yousee, when youm play levels like that, with the music and stuff, you can actuely feel some sort of something, and that..er…feeling is realy great. The levels that had that most where to me the Glacier levels, mainly because of the excelent music selection.

Lets just say that without this, i would`nt be in the JJ1 conversion business:-P. Thanx for finding it Linkie-winkie:-D.
Nice litle tileset. It reminds me of the old tetris games. It got a good 3Dish cinda look. And the coments..I love them:-D. I`d say everyone go download this tileset right`away, especialy tetris fans:-D.

A briliant new gameplay mode. Sadly, the level lacks in eyecandy.
Wrong-o! Check again!
