Jet Force Gemini (N64)

The boys at Twycross have the gaming world in their pocket. Regardless of the game genre, no-one does it better then England's own Rareware. They've proved it with platform games such as Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo Tooie, with racing games like Diddy Kong Racing and Mickey's USA Speedway, and, of course, no-one does the shoot-em-up quite like Rare, just play Goldeneye if you don't believe me. So Jet Force Gemini then. After receiving raving reviews in top magazines and on the net I decided to see what all the fuss was about, and within 5 minutes I was completely hooked on this stunning game. A cross between a platform and a shoot-em-up, ...  Read the complete review

Those guys at Rare really know what they're doing. They provide with such games as, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Banjo and Kazooie and Diddy Kong Racing. With all these excellent games flying about, they have to be sure that there next game will live up to the reputation Rare have built for themselves. So the big question is, Does Jet Force Gemini live up to what we expect? In plain and simple terms, it does. It is hours of bug blasting at it's best. You are an elite team of soldiers who are called in to help your friends, the Tribals, when they are attacked by an evil Alien called Mizar. Mizar plants all of his soldiers on The Tribals planets and ...  Read the complete review

I recieved Jet Force Gemini last Christmas, and i still love playing it. I have completed it twice and enjoyed every last second of the ending sequence. The basic aim in Jet force Gemini is to rescue a furry bear like race called 'tribals' which have been enslaved by a huge tyron named 'Mizar'. Sounds rather simple? Its not! You must complete and rescue EVERY tribal on all 10 origanal worlds, plus there's about 3-4 secret worlds. In each world their are hoards of 'drones' which are Mizars um... soldiers. These are ant like creatures the size of humans, that come in many different shapes, colours and sizes. ...  Read the complete review

Jet Force Gemini. Huge and 3D, with big guns. The best shoot 'em up adventure game I have ever played. Some awesome graphics, sounds and storyline considering it is a shoot-em up. First you will see a cut scene showing Juno, Vela and Lupus in their ship when they see on their screen Mizar's drone's killing, torturing and capturing the evil tribals. Then their ship starts tremble and shake so they run for the transporters and Juno gets ambushed by the drones so he gets split up and Juno finally escapes to his transporter but is way behind his team mates. The object of this game is to save and liberate the tribals by splattering the ...  Read the complete review

Jet Force Gemini is a shooting/adventure game for the Nintendo 64. It was released a year or so ago and has received much praise. I for one can't see what all the fuss is about. Firstly, it was developed by Rare, who you should know by now make great games. Their software history includes Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong 64, and Banjo Kazooie etc... You get the point, these guys make excellent games. They are like what Squaresoft or Namco are to the Playstation. Without Rare, the Nintendo 64 might have crumbled. I think you definitely get the point now. First impressions When I turned the game on the first thing that ...  Read the complete review
