The game's greatest shortcoming, however, is that this style of over-the-top gameplay hasn't evolved much from Midway's own "NBA Jam" or "NBA Showtime" titles.- Cincinnati Enquirer

A cute marketing vehicle that is too difficult and underdeveloped for its target audience.- Cincinnati Enquirer

This action/adventure suffers from sloppy controls, unwieldy camera angles and frame rate issues that can slow the game to a crawl.- Cincinnati Enquirer

The egg-rolling and egg-hatching game-play mechanics, while a clever concept, get stale after a while. Except for new environments and a different "boss" enemy at the end of each level, no new game-play elements are introduced after the first hour.- Cincinnati Enquirer

TNN fails to frighten and is marred by a few flaws that may frustrate rather than satiate.- Cincinnati Enquirer

Reasonably fun, but don't expect the level of immersion and polish found in other PC action games such as "No One Lives Forever" or "Jedi Knight II."- Cincinnati Enquirer

Can be fun at times, but overall the game play is merely average compared with other PlayStation 2 offerings.- Cincinnati Enquirer

A lighthearted and humorous action/ adventure for younger players who will enjoy collecting coins and keys as well as exploring the mansion's many rooms.- Cincinnati Enquirer

A fun, simplistic diversion, especially with a group of friends. However, once you've seen all the style moves it doesn't have the staying power of much deeper football games like EA's own "Madden NFL 2004."- Cincinnati Enquirer

While new enemies and missions are introduced over time, the game's story never really builds into anything, so it gives you -- the player -- little incentive to finish the adventure.- Cincinnati Enquirer

Although the game audio is good, with classical music and impressive voice acting, outdated visuals spoil the fun. Better to see the movie or read the book.- Cincinnati Enquirer

Not worth your time or money, and it's certainly a shame for fans of this once-groundbreaking series.- Cincinnati Enquirer

Unfortunately, the game falls victim to standard full-motion video problems, namely, linear game play. Since there are a limited number of filmed sequences, you must adhere to a specific path in order to progress through the game.- Cincinnati Enquirer

If the controversial content isn't enough to turn off players, the game's annoying technical problems will. The length and frequency of load times between levels is the biggest problem.- Cincinnati Enquirer

The biggest fault of the game is the controls scheme. Alternately pressing the X and O buttons for hours will not only result in cramped and blistered fingers, but a concentrated tiredness of the game.- Cincinnati Enquirer

Jet Force Gemini proves to be the one dud to which all game makers are entitled. Should Rareware throw another one of these on the heap, we may be forced to rethink their role as ‘‘king of the Nintendo 64’s developers.’’- Cincinnati Enquirer
