Aside from the horrible controls that often leave you dead, the somewhat poor animation, the occasional feeling of never being able to finish a level, this game is great. Filled with fun weapons, enemies, characters, and bug goo, I absolutely loved this game when I was younger. Upon playing it now nearly ten years later, I'm better aware of its flaws, but still enjoy it immensely; this game is one of an above-average level. Probably one of my favorite aspects of this game are some of the great and expansive landscapes; everyone knows most N 64 games just had some background pasted onto walls, but this game doesn't do that (much).

I took one star off from those infuriating controls.

Way back in 1999...

there was Jet Force Gemini! It's a very cool game and it's got cool weapons! There's nothing in the world compared to this!

A Gem That Didnt Get The Recognition It Deserved!

This is one of those titles that once again got overlooked by the gaming community. I think the main reason it wasnt successful was because it was way to advanced for the N64 gamer. It was more of a futuristic game just born on the wrong system( if this game was released on the gamecube or nintendo wii I think it would have been a top seller) Not only was it a very creative game with tons of action and great boss battles, but all 3 characters had to be used on certain levels in order to beat the game. overall this is a great experience and even if you never played it and are 20 or 30 years old it is still a great title and definately worth a purchase for only 5 bucks! well what are you waiting for? go get this game!

an Action Packed Hollywood Epic

After the present game consoles have been released I never thought I would come back to this. But this is one thing I couldnt ignore. Jet Force Gemini is without a doubt one of the greatest action packed third person shooters of all time. At first the game seems a little simple as you start off with one character and only a simple pistol. The level is also pretty straight forward and nothing greatly impressive happens at this time. But once you come across the second level, gaining the machine gun for the first time, you enter one of the most action packed epic experiences on an alien spaceship-and this is rarely seen through action shooters.

The game's basic goal is to search for and rescue the Tribals(Ewok like creatures), who've been attacked and enslaved by alien insects(large and small).The enemies carry a great deal of AI. They can run for cover, dodge, weave, and they have weak points and defenses. Some enemies use different attacks, depending on whether they've spotted you or not. Others are mindless drones who use sheer numbers to overwhelm.

Jet Force Gemini has such a wide variety of awesome gameplay that it could be broken up into four separate games and still receive its strong reviews. Constant action, Adventure, Sniping and stealth and a great deal of exploration, with both Third-Person and First-person views. Throughout the game, as you come across each of the three characters, who each have their different special abilities, you will notice that some areas cannot be accessed by certain characters and require others to return to the same level to complete it 100%.

The game is overloaded with atmosphere within both its action scenes, incredible soundtrack and its great level designs that some may notice have a resemblence of Hyrule from Zelda. The graphics are colourful and stunning. The bosses throughout are probably the most impressive bosses ive seen in any game at that time.

There is one thing about the game that isnt entirely a flaw, but you still need to be aware of. Its the controls that may take a little getting used to. For a game of constant action, exploration, stunning graphics and impressive story and bosses, Jet Force Gemini feels like the largest action packed Hollywood epic ever.

A Classic from 1999!

This is one of the best games from the last 10 years. Awesome game play and art design. Too bad it wasn't a hit. The AI of the bugs is amazing very hard to shoot them sometimes. I never completed the game either. I do think all of the endless collecting was a bit tiresome. Perhaps, the game only flaw. Anyways, pick this game up. Where else can you play a game that has a dog with jet pack and machine gun attached to it?

BACK TO THE N64

I have grown weary of the new genre games, yes the graphics are superb in the x-box, g-cube and ps2, but the all round gameplay lacks in most of the recent games titles.
I bought this by accident actually and i must say this is the best ever!!!! I get the feeling sometimes when i am playing jetforce gemini, that!! N64, never really got the recognistion it deserved, ps1 mauled N64 even though the graphics in the N64 Was superior, you must admitt that N64 have some of the greatest game titles ever,(enough about N64) however!!!!!!! if you like long exciting action packed games with beautiful colours and graphics then JET FORCE GEMINI might be just what you are looking for, so! dust off the old N64 and play this game even if it's 2005.
Laterz folks.

Jet Force Gemini is a must have for every Nintendo 64 owner. This game is a perfect example of Rare at its best. However, this game is not for the namby-pamby wishy-washy type of person. This game demands lots of time, patience, and skill. You really have to be a good run-and-gun player to beat this bad boy.

The Best Game on Any Platform

I love this game. Altough I own a Playstation 2 and an Xbox, this is my favorite game on any console. The graphics are awesome, while the story draws you in. After defeating Mizar, you feel accomplished. Being able to play three people in a campaign feels good (really good when you unlock advanced versions of the characters late in the game). The multiplayer is also very very good--four people running around blowing each other up in many levels. There is also a racing game bonus that is unexpectedly fun. With different weapon sets and tons of playable characters with special abilities I can only hope they make a sequel (and maybe an AI bot feature). I'm eleven years old and I own many games. This is my favorite, as all my friends can see because the N64 is hooked up to a portable TV in my room which I take on road trips along with the N64. If you are thinking about buying a first person shooter, you should definitely consider this. Others just want the best graphics, or something on a newer console (Playstation 2, Xbox, or Gamecube), but in my opinion Jet Force Gemini is better than anything for those platforms.
