Much like LostWinds, Jett Rocket is also a couple of hours long. One of the biggest complaints one will have about the game is that it is over before you really start to get into it. While Jett Rocket is a great game at heart, it suffers from some notable issues. Rarely does anything in this game feel like a second thought. Unlike some other games available on the WiiWare service, these items never feel tacked on and feel as though they were intended to be there right from the start. Each item that Jett comes across in his journey serves their own purpose and helps mix up the gameplay a little and add some variety to the game. While on his adventure to save the land, Jett must also use a variety of other items, ranging from a paraglider to a jet boat.

This item uses energy and there are various platforms scattered throughout the game that can refuel it. One of the neat mechanics of Jett Rocket is Jett's jetpack, which allows him to stay airborne for a limited amount of time. Motion controls are used, but their purpose is very minimal, such as shaking the Wii Remote to dash while on the ground or performing an attack on enemies while airborne. To control Jett, players use the Nunchuk's analog stick, while the Wii Remote's A button gives him the ability to jump. One of the best things about Jett Rocket is that the controls are very natural and easy to get used to. There are also orbs scattered throughout the game to collect, and some are hidden very cleverly. Rather than just jumping from platform to platform and breezing through each stage, puzzle elements are thrown in to help make the game feel more varied and enjoyable.

In each stage, your goal is to make it to a generator located somewhere in the area. Jett Rocket is a platforming game at heart, and while it doesn't do anything to break from the traditional platformer mould, what it does, it does well. Playing as Jett, a young man with the ability to hover with his jetpack, your goal is to protect the planet of Yoroppa from an evil organization known as "Power Plant Posse." Their goal is to steal energy supplies from all over the planet, and it is up to you to set things straight. While people have been taught for generations that looks can be deceiving, Jett Rocket gladly doesn't fit into that category, as not only is it one of the best-looking games for the WiiWare service, it is also one of the best overall. When looking through the catalog of titles available for the WiiWare service, there aren't too many visually impressive titles, so when something like Jett Rocket comes along, gamers take heed.
