Because of its simplistic game play, unattractive graphics and technical glitches, Jumper: Griffin's Story should be skipped at your local game store â even for fans of the film.

Jumper: Griffinâs Story will be fun for only the first hour or two; luckily this game is only about twice as long. I recommend renting this game if you are looking for achievement points. I wouldnât expect a whole lot of fun from it though.

Mais du point de vue du gameplay, cela n'apporte strictement rien : retirez une fonction classique du jeu d'action (le saut, non implĂ©mentĂ©), transformez-lĂ en pouvoir de tĂ©lĂ©portation, et vous tenez-lĂ toute l'originalitĂ© de Jumper en matiĂšre de phases d'action. Et ce n'est malheureusement pas l'aspect visuel qui relĂšvera ce titre sans saveur : l'utilisation du cel shading assure une bonne qualitĂ© d'animation, mais les graphismes sont obsolĂštes et manquent d'Ă©clat. Les effets visuels lors des combats sont notamment bien tristounets. Bref, Jumper rejoint sans surprise la masse des jeux Ă licence sans grand intĂ©rĂȘt.

This is the epitomy of a movie tie-in hack job. Low production values, monotonous gameplay, and lackluster visuals make this a story you can jump past. It's a shame, because the concept opens up a million gameplay opportunities. How can the ability to teleport be boring? With this and Alvin & the Chipmunks under its belt, publisher Brash is really not off to a good start.

Oh, and we'd like to point out one final ridiculous irony: in a game called Jumper, based on a movie called "Jumper," the character isn't allowed to JUMP. Seriously. You can "jump" across distances, but you can't just jump straight up in the air. Is that comedy gold, or what?

Distinct elements give the PlayStation 2 iteration of Jumper: Griffin's Story a slightly different feel than the Xbox 360 release, but the end result is largely the same: a boring, unrefined, too-short brawler that you'll forget the second you eject the disc. We've already gone blank; what were we talking about?

Die Entwickler haben hingegen auf ganz andere Dinge wie zeitgemĂ€Ăe Optik, spielerische Abwechslung und jegliche QualitĂ€tssicherung verzichtet. Auch eine vernĂŒnftig eingebettete Story sucht ihr vergebens: Wer die Kino- bzw. Buchvorlage nicht kennt, hat keine Ahnung, was zwischen den hektisch drögen KĂ€mpfen ĂŒberhaupt versucht wird zu erzĂ€hlen. Da das ganze Trauerspiel nach zwei, drei Stunden aber ohnehin vorbei ist, spielt das wohl auch schon keine Rolle mehr. Lasst bloĂ die Finger von diesem dreisten StĂŒck SoftwaremĂŒll, das selbst abgehĂ€rtete Trash-Sammler dauerhaft verstören kann!
