Jet Force Gemini is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by Rare for the Nintendo 64 video game console. It was released in North America on October 11, 1999; in Europe on November 2, 1999; and in Japan on December 1, 1999. The player assumes the role of three members of Jet Force Gemini, the last remaining group of the once proud and strong military organization Jet Force. The main story arc encompasses the trio's quest as they try to stop the advances of the dark insect tyrant Mizar and his army.
Throughout the single-player campaign, the player must collect several spaceship parts and save a large number of Tribals, a group of survivors who have been enslaved and prisoned by Mizar. The game also includes a multiplayer deathmatch for two to four players and a no split-screen co-operative mode. The gameplay shares elements with platform, action-adventure, and run and gun games.
Jet Force Gemini was developed by Rare's Blast Corps team, who originally considered the possibility to use the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak. Reviews were generally positive towards the game, though not as high as Rare's other N64 games such as GoldenEye 007 and Banjo-Kazooie. Praise was given to its graphics, sound and originality, while criticism was levelled at the game's difficult controls and insistence on having to save every Tribal to fully complete the game. Jet Force Gemini is frequently regarded as one of the most innovative and original games of the Nintendo 64.
