How many hours have U.S. Wii owners reported playing Jett Rocket with 686 days of game-play reported, and what is the first hilarious (to me anyway) search result when searching "Jett Rocket" on a famous online retailer? Let's take a look!

Caffeinated Thoughts
While GameRankings.com does average together most of the larger sites, it often misses sites that have been around for a few years that review games regularly, and in this case, I would like to highlight one of those reviews.
WiiLoveIt.com has been around for many years now, and interestingly enough as I was piecing together this data report I went to the developer's site for the game. I was looking for assets and just browsing the site in general, when I stumbled upon the developer's "review" tab for the game, and the very first review they have listed is from WiiLoveIt.com, which was NOT included in GameRankings.com's average.

Jett Rocket has a free demo available on the Nintendo Shop Channel, and I highly recommend you to download it if you think you might be interested in the game even a little. I have played through the demo twice now, once last night, and found it very enjoyable both times. I have not purchased a WiiWare game in a while, but Jett Rocket's demo may have sold me on another one now.
If you have not seen anything from Jett Rocket, below is a video showing off some game-play:
Again, Jett Rocket's demo is still available on the Shop Channel as I mentioned above, and the demo plays well and the game looks really good considering the limits of WiiWare games. Considering the game's reported average play-time "Per person" is just over 7 hours, I think the asking price of only $10 is a steal from my time with the demo.
Now, some of you may be thinking, "Hey Coffee, what was the 'hilarious' item you found when searching for Jett Rocket?" Well, I searched Amazon.com because they have a few WiiWare games listed on the site for purchase and I was wondering if Jett Rocket was listed. When I typed in "Jett Rocket" in the search bar and hit "Enter" this is the first item that came up:
Yes, that is an inflatable Boba Fett jetpack. While Jett Rocket was not listed on Amazon, I thought the result was funny.
