Aside from gameplay that has not aged well, Jet Force Gemini is a hidden gem in the Rare catalog. Deeply atmospheric, a truly epic (in the fullest sense of the word) soundtrack by Robin Beanland, a colorful world of jaw-droppingly large levels full of secrets to explore that made schoolyard gossip exciting...it was a game so experimental and full of new things that it's an exemplar of the start of the 3D era, before any gameplay formulas or publicly-traded buyouts.

It was the era just before YouTube and capture cards, so we simply relied on honor. Whether it's adulting or a different set of priorities, I can't really get into games like I used to. But Rare was a gem, and these are fond memories.
