History YMMV / JetForceGemini

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: ''All of it'' -- from the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt8v1jV5uMQ title screen]], to the ominous [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLXR2PNx1qE final level]], and every planet, minigame, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy6vBhFGBWY character select]] screen in between. This is Rare music at its most epic. Honorable mention goes to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk7IDWTwITs Meeting Mizar part 2]], which was used to great effect in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosZ''.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Ivana is female, but not many players remember this. As a bear with no visible reproductive parts, it would be understandably hard to tell if it wasn't for her name.

This is Rare music at its most unabashedly epic.

* DamnYouMuscleMemory[=/=]InterfaceScrew: When you rest your reticle over an enemy, they flash green (the color usually associated with allies, meaning ''do not shoot them''), while Tribals flash red (meaning enemy, so blast away!).

* NightmareFuel: On the surface it seems alright for a younger audience...then you get into the giant mutant zombie bugs, the implied wholesale butchering of Tribal families, the ''zombified planet'', the level spent almost entirely [[WombLevel traversing a colossal worm's digestive tract]], the giant praying mantis twins boss, and oh yeah, [[LudicrousGibs the showers of splattering blood]] and [[VideogameCrueltyPotential the screams of the dying and the decapitations (including the ability to decapitate things that look like teddy bears)]].

** TakeThatScrappy: The Tribals' heads are just as detachable as the Drones'.
*** And if you collect their heads when they are 'accidentally' killed, it still counts as a "rescue". [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything Which means they EXPECTED the player to either screw up or voluntarily kill them.]]

* ThatOneBoss: Ok, so Mizar's the final boss, he's supposed to be hard. But still, the second battle against him is nightmarishly difficult given the standard set by the other bosses, largely due to his enormously cheap electric jump rope of doom, which usually got combined with tricky camera angles. Worse, the first time you fight him, he's a complete pushover, leading to lowered expectations for the second fight.
** Why is this electric jump rope so bad? If it so much as grazes you, you lose 1/8 of your health.
** To add insult to injury, Mizar has an interesting AI pattern...[[spoiler:the goddamn bastard doesn't ''have'' an AI pattern, meaning that you might get fried by repeated electric jump ropes]].
** It's worse. There's two forms to this battle, and that electric jump rope is a staple move.
** See also the Eschebone Mantises. They both have sequential and relatively small weak points, the battlefield is dark, they have a lot more variety to their attacks than any boss besides the Mizar rematch, and did we mention you have to keep track of two at once for most of the fight?

* DesignatedHero: One [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpGDZeeBtLI has argued]] that King Jeff actually sucks at being a hero, considering he [[spoiler:failed to stop his brother from turning to evil]], turned an entire planet into a zombie-infested wasteland and forced the Jet Force team to save the Tribals, at the expense of the people of Earth.
** [[https://youtu.be/ULx-EoVU-V0?t=1210 Others would even]] go as far to say that Jeff refusing [[spoiler:to let the Federation take his brother into custody means he's]] [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlternativeCharacterInterpretation more of a sympathsizer or accomplice]]

** The game involves genocide. The Bugs invade the Tribal's home planet and [[RapePillageAndBurn slaughter them indiscriminately]]. In a cutscene, we see that the bugs are executing tribals in firing squads, which Floyd just [[HeelFaceTurn simply cannot tolerate]]. Even given the Tribal's.... [[AlienScrappy status among gamers]], you obviously aren't supposed to feel guilty for the bugs as you [[KarmicDeath shred them to bits]].

* NeedsMoreLove: Despite being highly praised on its day and universally liked, not much has been mentioned about it. Rare changing hands killed the odds for a sequel, considering the increasing trend of military shooters. The final nail in the coffin was the revelation that many of the developers of this game ''did'' have a sequel in mind, but the project was scrapped as they were assigned to work on '''''Kinect'''''. Ugh.

* WhatAnIdiot: Who designs space ships and bases with doors that only open when all the guards are killed?

* GoodBadBug: In Tawfret, if you can pin a zombie against a wall or tree with a Shuriken, the Zombie won't die, but it'll remain in place. For some reason though, the game continues to think that the Shuriken is continuously "killing" the zombie. Within seconds, your kill count will hit a {{cap}} of 65535 and your accuracy will be somewhere in the 100,000% range. All with 5 Shurikens.

** Tri rocket launcher -> 3 hits -> 300%? Same for the shotgun, perhaps? Does seem like a plausible oversight.
*** Explosives also registered a hit for every drone caught in the blast. So you can hit 300% or better with a well placed grenade.

* CompleteMonster: Mizar and his Drones. If you read the rest of the page, you'll know why.

** Let's not forget the rotflies that swarm around the dead or dying bodies of the ants you will inevitably slaughter throughout the game.
** It should also be noted that the game involves genocide. The [[CompleteMonster Bugs]] invade the Tribal's home planet and [[RapePillageAndBurn slaughter them indiscriminately]]. In a cutscene, we see that the bugs are executing tribals in firing squads, which Floyd just [[HeelFaceTurn simply cannot tolerate]]. Even given the Tribal's....

** Seems to be a RareWare thing- GoldenEye's shotgun had a similar problem- blasting one person with it at point blank range was 500% accurate (because its shells spreaded into five shots).
