I don't care what people say about this game, I still love it.

Seeing 20 years later of this makes me sad.. i loved this so much. I literally remember this game like yesterday. I wish I could be a kid again

So glad you mentioned the soundtrack. Over 20 years later and I still have most of these tracks in my regular music rotation. Easily one of the top 5 soundtracks of its era.

Still one of my all time favourites.

I would loooove to see a modern remake of this. Clean up the controls, upgrade the graphics somewhere near modern spec. The Metroidvania, puzzle game, and shoot-em-up elements will still hold up, although there is definitely room to expand on them.

This game and Perfect Dark easily have the best sound track of any game of the era don't @ me

I remember finally finding a tribal I couldn't find only because it threw it's hammer at me from off screen to get my attention. That was brilliant.

I sunk hours into this game and did 100%, loved it! When I mentioned it to friends at school, they were like "Jet Force what? Never heard of it." 🙄

I’m 36 and my cartridge STILL WORKS! Sometimes I pop it in to play, and sometimes I just let it sit there and jam music for me while I do other things.

I will never forget this game i played when i was like 12-13.. im 30 now and can still remember everything in detail!

I absolutely love this game. My only issue with it is having to get ALL the tribals to complete the game. Great review bro

This game is so fantastic. I beat it as a kid when it first came out with no walkthrough. Everything felt so epic. Plus the multiplayer was so much fun, both co-op and versus.

Such an amazing game. I've never in my life had as much hype for a game as I did for this one. I remember seeing the previews for this on the "hot newz 64" vhs tape, I must have watched it at least 100 times haha. Going back and playing it now, it's not nearly as hard as I remember, when I was a kid I got stuck on all the bosses for ages, especially the final boss fight, that one took me weeks lol.

Hands down the most memorable game out of all I've played on n64. I literally searched up the game on youtube found this vid watched it and felt the memories. Oh boy the reminiscing... WHO REMEMBERS THE ZOMBIE MAP WHERE YOU FIRST FINE TRI-ROCKETS?! XD

20 years later and people still get this wrong: if you kill a tribal, you dont have to restart the whole level just backtrack the area till you get to the door/entrance with the red and green lights on the sides.

This was on of the funnest games I ever played in my life

Abolutely love this game! What memories. My son's almost old enough to be able to play it co-op with him.

This was one of my favorite games of my childhood. I used to draw fan art and all that stuff for it. I even tried to create a pitch for a sequel hoping I could send that to Rare and have them use my ideas. I really wish they'd make a remake or a sequel.

Great review of a true and criminally underrated classic... JFG is still one of my favourite N64 games ...I remember playing it for the first time back in 99, reaching Mizars palace with all three characters and feeling dissapointed the game was pretty short... Oh boy was I wrong! And THAT soundtrack! 😍😍😍Pure bliss.. I still listen it from time to time today.

The definitive jet force gemini review. Good job. Especially like your description of the controls. They take getting used to but once you do it feels good moing down some bugs.

Please god if you are out there, a sequel or remaster would be life fulfilling. Just imagine, this, but modernized, with way more bugs to shoot, maybe more gun options but not really, and way more graphic blood, guts, gibs, doodads, you name it. Oh snap, I just subscribed.

EDIT: When my bro was playing Jet Force and I picked up the second controller and shot with lloyd or Floyd (can't remember) my child mind was fkin blown. Jet Force Gemini, Body Harvest, Star Fox, DaiKatana, Forsaken, Pokemon Stadium, Turok 2, Army Men: sarges heroes, Dark Rift, Fighters Destiny, Hey you pikachu, WWF No Mercy, and Spider-Man made my childhood

"Juno wears special armor that protects him from temperatures as hot as lava," Cool. "Vella's lungs have been implanted with a device that allows her to breath underwater and in toxic environments indefinitely," Weird, but alright. "Lupus the Dog has rocket legs." SOLD! REMAKE THIS GAME FOR THE SWITCH NOW, NINTENDO!!!

This game was the first game i ever played and it is much much better on rare replay. Just change the control scheme if you play like that.

i vividly remember getting this game. it was between this and pokemon snap and i have not had a single regret for my choice every since.

For my money it has the best soundtrack of any n64 game. Rares composers were always on another level.

This is one of my favorite games of all time. The music especially is absolutely fantastic! I still go back and play this game every once in a while.

I still remember when it came out in 1999. The graphics were awesome, the OST was even better. It took a lot of work to finish it (damn it was hard!!!). No doubt this one goes to my top 3 games of N64 and to my top ten of all times.

Great Review! Loved playing this game when it came out. One of my favorite features ,as a kid, was the ability to play multiplayer levels with one player as the robot. Hours of fun collecting bug heads!!!! and good point about that sound track. I never realized how good the music was, but you are right, that was some great music.

The ss anubis track is the best. I used to play all the tracks on constant loop cuz theyre that good

I honesty looked up this video because I was thinking about the music.

I remember playing split screen multiplayer with my brother with this game. Damn takes me back

I first played this game when I was about 6 years old but I never finished it cause I thought it was so dang difficult especially the boss fights,20 years later I come to find out you can play it if you buy the rare replay and now it is time to finish what I started!

I love that you featured both the SS Anubis and the Eschebone theme--those are the exact songs I think of when I think of epic video game music. And the Water Ruin theme I heard you used earlier in the video. Ahhhh I loved this game so much.

I will continue my campaign of asking Rare to bring this game back whenever they tweet something.

I love this game so much. One of the 8 N64 cartridges I owned. Never got to beating it though.

Excellent review! This was one of my favourite games when I was a wee guy. The music segment in particular was tickling my nostalgia bone. Thank-you for the upload.

I still get the Rith Essa music playing in my head 25 years later. Fit the stage perfectly.

I still found fun in the game, but finding the damn Tribals did drive me nuts. Especially in one level where I found the last two completely by accident by throwing a flare. Damn dark rooms.

22 years later and the music still gives me the chills like back in 2001 when I first played this game 💙 Those were the good old times💙💙

Possibly the best game on the n64. The worlds are massive with tons of secrets, both mandatory and not, the music makes Robin Beanland one of the best composers in rare and thats saying something! You should also bring up the difficulty as this game is a behemoth in that aspect. Gone are the managable difficulty of dkc and banjo-kazooie, this pushes the difficulty to its length without going battletoads on our asses.

I tried to show this game to some friends of mine but they fell asleep so i guess it's not for everyone. However, i love this game so much because of the dramatic music and the slightly mature theme. I think a lot of people are still waiting for a sequel with modern technology

This game was my life when i was a kid

This game was a gem, i feel that your comment on the graphics is pretty accurate, saying it wasnt too apealing even at the time, but i wish you mentioned some of the other aspects of multiplayer in this game, like that robot you could use to play adventure mode as 2 player and the battle arena, back in the day that was value in content, not many adventure games allowed you to play coop in any way and not every adventure game had a multiplayer mode included

Great review! We just covered Jet Force Gemini too when we compared it to Metal Arms, in our last video. This game is definitely one of our all time favorites!

so glad to know people love this game. Yes a few forgivable rough spots but it has such an epic feel and is a very wortwhile time once you adapt to it's requirements. Spot on review

Wow, I've never seen your videos before, but that was a fantastic review Bill! You really have a knack for this that made the video consistently informative and engaging - awesome stuff =D

Still one of my all time favorites. Rescuing those bears was a tough task. Got stuck on the mantis battle and final boss. They should remake this game with updated graphics or maybe a sequel. I wouldnt mind if they added in a few new enemies and weapons too. Maybe even some skill perks.

My favorite part of this game was the way you use the different characters, the weapons and especially the Soundtrack. One of the best I've EVER heard in or out of a game. Its Star Wars and Christopher Reeves Superman level good imo. As if whoever did the score for 007 decided to roid out and make this for Jet Force, bc for me, it's the best and most memorable Soundtrack I've ever heard.

lol, dat music hype. 10/10 review.

I almost did not play this. I was REALLY longing for a third-person space game of this kind, but my first impression when I saw it briefly was not good, so I almost did not buy it. But I was drawn to its space science fiction setting, so I got it anyway. I disliked it for the first hour, mostly because the control scheme felt strange. But after I got used to it, my love for this game just grew and grew. It is amazing, and I am always searching for something else like this, but I have not been successful. It succeeds at being cute and charming and violent and atmospheric at the same time. A perfect game for me!

I somehow beat this without a guide as a youngster. I remember thinking that guy was joking about saving ALL the Tribals and the difficulty I had with Mizar at the end. The dam on that electricity is crazy!

This and LOZ were my go to N64 games. I played it at a friend's house when I was 8 and had to have it. I still go back and play it when I can. Trulyp an underrated Rare game

I remember having a VHS tape from Nintendo Power advertising this game. I wish I still had that tape, but at least I still have my original cartridge and the Player's Guide buried deep in my closet.

I literally never thought of this game again until a video recently showed off the box art. Last time I played this game I was 4 years old

OMG I haven't played this game since I was 4 and I still love it to this day! Such an amazing game! 10/10 No matter what lol

I’ve been looking for a new game like JFG for 20 years

I can still play this game today and still have a lot of fun.

Very underrated game I was born in 99 so I never got the experience of all the cool classics when they first came out, the first console I ever played was the Ps1 I started at two years old it's quite a suprise when I look back on it because I use to play with my older brother, then the second console I played was the N64 in 2002 the first two games were super mario 64 and WCW nwo revenge, third I played the Gamecube in 2003 when my brother's father bought it for him as a Christmas gift, oh and 03 was also the same year when we first got Jet Force Gemini and Rampage, Ps2 was the fourth console I played and really had fun with my childhood with that, I still play a couple of new games here and their but they just don't interest me as much as the older games, great review and I still love this game.

Excelent review, im actually looking to buy a n64 to play all the good games included that

I remember all my friends wanted to bonk Vela.

I remember renting this from the video store on a rainy weekend when I was a kid and being like meh.. I was probably too young for the control scheme, I think I need to give it a second chance ! Thanks for the review.

The music & sound effects were really on another level. The one you highlighted, the SS Anubis music, easily one of the best too.

I just bought the cartridge. I missed playing this and can never comfortably play it on emulation software or the Wii (Not64, more like Notworthit64). I gotta have that authentic experience. I have the console again and I still own the box, instructional manual, and strategy guide+poster for it. I was holding out for an Everdrive, financially that will probably never happen. So I bought Jet Force Gemini for the N64 for way less and now I own it, it's in the mail but I own it; a part of my life will be complete again. I am so excited to play this, just watching the footage for it has me hyped, so much that I'm spending a good chunk of time typing this out. Great job on the video, I appreciate the format and the presentation, thank you!

You got the nail on the head, the music is a 10/10! Unmatched.

One of the best games ever made. Still can play it and never get bored.

Jet Force Gemini is one of my favorite games on the N64. I will always love it.

I remember having a lot of fun turning the drones against each other by friendly fire, it has been a long time since my last playthrough!

One of my favorite games from RARE, the music is so good!

The expert control scheme in this game is absolutely perfect. The use of holding R to switch to tank control mode and using the C buttons to move was so forward thinking and really makes the game. It’s also really nice that you can jump while strafing, especially when running. Not possible on the normal control scheme due to button assignments. Expert feels so fluid and well designed. You’re used to it by the end of level 1 if you mess about just a bit. I’ve played through the game with both normal and expert controls many times, expert is the best.

While we played tons of GoldenEye back in the day, we played Jet Force Gemini even more! :)

This is still one of my all time favorites

One of my favorite games of all time.. Me and my dad played this game casually for about 4 months before we 100% completed it after several campaign restarts. He's in his 60s now and I hope someday me and him can play this again.

Don't forget the multiplayer mode where you can battle each other 1v1 like Golden eye, man my and my brother played that mode alot

The 2 player coop with Floyd is legit

This was the most mysterious game I ever played. I got far but never beat it. Felt so immersive and funny. And one of the the first games I can think of with different planets you could go to

Omg my mom bought us this game randomly and we absolutely loved it we lost it a year later when we moved to a new house (along with our Sega and all but one of our Sega games, Street Fighter 2) but I never forgot about it. This game and A Haunting are two great games that don’t get talked about enough.

One of my all time favourites. Thanks for the video. So many good memories with my brother playing this game.

Great review! I have noticed that i have totally forgotten about this game... i never heard of it anymore and im pretty surprised alot of people arent too fond of it! -As a teen when this got released, had an amazing time playing it with my brother and friends!!!

I got to the end but i didnt bother saving all the tribals. I collected so many tribal heads lol

This game was ahead of its time for sure

It's a masterpiece. A remake or sequel that stayed true to the OG would be amazing.

I could watch an entire documentary dedicated to the heat-seeking shurikens in this game. All time favorite weapon.

How much time I spend in SS Anubis only for the fking music God damn I love this game so much

I dodnt realize thos was such a late release in the 64's span. I remember this being a contra (lite) for my N64, because as a kid the controls were challenging for me, and I would die a lot but I pushed through because it had so much fun playing it. With the perfect auto aim system, varied arsenal, and the super jump/jet pack action, I could just run around and blast bugs all afternoon despite all the restarts. Great job on the video.

I remember this game being so fun, the controls were very innovative and it was basically at the pinnacle of what the N64 was capable of graphically. Classic.

I know I late to the comments section here but damn, that was a really great review. In depth, honest, unbiased, and concise. Thanks for not wasting my time and for the work put in for a REAL review. Subbed. 🤨👍

This was a really good game for its time! I gotta admit! When I was a kid this game was my go to, never could figure it out though when I was little I couldn’t find all 12 parts for the space ship 🚀. I love this game so much I’m gonna buy it and play it

Coming to Nintendo Switch Online in December!

Great review. I think I might play and review this one myself. I do not remember finding the controls strange having played n64 for a few years before I got it.

This game needed a series. 4 player split screen was amazing. My Oldest memories

Loved this game, but that damn mantis boss man. I remember seeing Adam Sessler from Xplay said on TV once one of his most memorable moments playing was this game and that boss. He got stuck on it too and had to get his friend to play and blew all the ammo down to the puny infinite pistol and got so excited and anxious and finally beat it, "that was my most intense moment and I wasn't even playing". I yelled YES ME TOO because I also had to get a friend to beat it the first time. MEMORIES.

This is one of my favorite games on N64.

Remember loving this back in the day!

I've still got the OG N64 cart I had my parents buy me in 2000. According to it, I've logged over 40 hrs into 1 save file, but that's probably mostly with me constantly revisiting old areas and stuff.

The first game I played for N64. A family friend gave me and my brothers an N64 in October 99. But the console didn't come with a game so my big brother Melvin went to GameStop and bought JFG. The game was awesome

I enjoyed this game immensely! The soundtrack is untouchable! So dramatic!

Fantastic review. This game was a defining experience in my childhood. Simpler times.

My siblings and I played the crap out of this game back in the day. It's SO underrated!

I bought this game about 6 months ago, and I still haven't beat it. Though I don't use KZfaq videos. I'm about halfway through. Funny story, I found out about this game in a Nintendo Power exclusive VHS tape promoting the game along with DK64. lol
