Any love for Jet Force Gemini?

Post by Curlypaul »

I guess I can count Racket in this as the game appears on virtually every N64 list on this site, but anybody else here like it?

I got mine recently and found myself pretty drawn into it. The presentation is excellent, and I like the way you get to play the 3 different paths that the main characters take. On the downside jumping takes some getting used to and there are some pretty major culling related glitches.

I really enjoyed it when it came out. I like the variety of weapons and different locations and the multiplayer wasn't too bad either. However, when the game made me rescue all of the tribal teddy bears just to reach the final boss I quit playing.

You had to rescue all those little things? no wonder my brother and I couldn't get to the ending!

Very fun game with a great multiplayer mode. FYI, picking the dog in multiplayer is like picking oddjob in goldeneye. It's a jerk move.

Count me in the 'never finished the game because I didn't feel like collecting all the Tribals to do so' camp.

It's a fine game other than that. Lots of neat hidden levels to explore too.

I liked the few times I played it, but I do not own a copy nor have I played it enough to make a valid opinion of it. The last time I played it was right before it came out in Scotland.

I never beat this game because like all of Rare's adventure games on the N64 it was HUUUUUGE! Long game is long, lol.

I loved what I played though. Would really like to play it again someday.

Yeah I'm starting to get the feeling that this is going to go on for a while, finding all those tribals is going to take some doing I reckon.

I've always been a fan of the game. It has a nice multi-player mode as well.

@CurlyPaul - I see your really diving into the N64 lately, have you played Space Station Silicon Valley? That is a hidden gem on the system. Other titles to check out, Blast Corps and Mischief Makers (might be called Yuke Yuke Makers on PAL version though - or maybe that's just JP).

Yeah I've been hitting the N64 quite a bit :) I've had the console for a while but it been a while since I bought anything new for it, until lately anyway.

Blast Corps was already on my wish list, but I'd never heard of the other 2, so thanks for pointing those out. Had a look on the tubes and both look like fun, especially Mischeif Makers.
