No matter how you slice it, Jet Force Gemini is one tough gameBut the frustration of playing this epic is tempered by the sheer magnitude and quality found withinBe forewarned, this run-and-gun action-fest is not for everyoneIn fact, novices may be better off letting seasoned gamers fight over this morsel

Jet Force Gemini includes three complete characters, more than 15 unique weapons, smart artificial intelligence (AI), and the rescue of Ewok-like creatures from giant space insectsFor those who don't have an extra 30 to 60 hours to burn, JFG feels like the most bloated, uncut Hollywood epic everYes, the game is deep, but not good enough to wade through enormous hours of gameplayBuying JFG is a commitment, one that will have die-hards playing gleefully for many months, and the rest of us wincing each time we need to restart a level after being annihilated--Jeff Young
