    Overall, the gameplay is stale and the presentation is below average.

    One of the worst games on the console.

    Jumper is a typical movie tie in game, in that it follows the tried and trusted formula of being completely rubbish, something we all come to expect.

    Awful camera angles completely ruin the interesting battle system, almost non-existent and overall poor sound effects make it better played on mute and the graphics simply confuse me as to what decade it is.

    All signs point to Jumper: Griffin's Story being a by-the-numbers, quickly assembled cash-in, but selecting poor, early-gen original Xbox brawlers as the template was a grave mistake. Those games at least made us chuckle; Jumper only makes us wince.

    Jumper fails on all fronts; animation, sound, level design, control, combat, storytelling, balancing, item management...all of it. It can also be completed in approximately two hours.

    The worst game on 360 and of this generation, Jumper's perfect only in its failure. [June 2008, p.81]

    Major shortcomings on visuals, camera, and character actions, but the shortness of the game reduces the repetitiveness of the levels.

    WOW...what a pile of *#!@* this is. The ONLY redeeming factor to this pathetic rush job of a movie tie-in are the INSANELY EASY ACHIEVEMENT WOW...what a pile of *#!@* this is. The ONLY redeeming factor to this pathetic rush job of a movie tie-in are the INSANELY EASY ACHIEVEMENT POINTS you get for playing it. I'm talking EASY. I'm not joking when i say that by the end of the 1ST level i already had 450 points. 450 POINTS ON THE 1ST LEVEL!!! And that level is only 10-15 minutes TOPS. As for the graphics? They can pass EASILY for a PS2/1st Generation Xbox game, the music and voice acting are YAWN INDUCING, story sucks much MUCH ass, and the controls are actually ok, didnt have a problem with them. I feel so bad for anyone who paid $60 for this, i paid $20 and let me tell you that its barely worth that much. If you want to boost your gamerscore incredibly fast then look no further, on that aspect it rates a phenominal 10, everything else...well...its pretty much sh*t on a disc.… Expand

    After seeing the overwhelmingly negative reviews for a game, you can ask yourself, in how many ways ca na game actually fail? Answer: alot. After seeing the overwhelmingly negative reviews for a game, you can ask yourself, in how many ways ca na game actually fail? Answer: alot. Example: Jumper: Griffin's Story. The only reason why I bought this game was because I thought people were being to hard on it's publisher, the newly formed Brash Entertainment (this was in the early days of it's release, when not too many reviews were out.), so I decided to give it a shot. Worst decision I have ever made. After I got through the first level I said to myself, a game cannot actually be this bad. I endured 1 more level, and decided to return it to the store. This game was so bad, that when I brought it back, it's price to buy was actually five dollers less than when I bought it! Long story short, this game fails on so many levels, you just might want to buy it so you could chuckle to yourself saying that your 6 month old son could make a funner game.… Expand
