Jumper: Griffin's Story - Xbox 360

I bought this game thinking it would be similar to the movie and it would be fun. Well i was wrong... It has limited controlles and u dont really do much. The hole game is pretty much clicking in directions, you dont actually fight people free willingly. if u press A u will hit the guy behind u and X the guy to ur left... overall the only reason i would buy this would be to get easy acheivements so not at all...

The movie was great. It is defintely in my top 10 movies for the last few years but this game is just terrible. Controls are awful and I can't seem to get passed the early stages.

ok

Kids do not like it

it was a great price and i got it for my kids for Christmas and the loved it. it was worth the money

Great product , great seller.

Usually when you see a game with a movie's name on the cover of it, you know its 100% rental-only material despite how much you love the movie. This was my case for Jumper: Griffin's Story.The movie Jumper is definitely one of those movies I really want to love. And having watched the movie, I immediately wanted to see how a game based off of your character zipping around the world in the blink of an eye would translate to gaming on my XBOX 360. Well after several hours of watching my character jump around my opponents in melee combat, I saw all there was to see.Gameplay is criminally simple: Your A,B,X,Y buttons translate to locations around your opponent from which you can jump to and attack. Press B, and you jump in front of them with melee attack, Press X, and you attack them from their left, and so on. Your character can chain a specific combination of attacks to go from start, mid, and finisher moves. You learn more combo moves not by the experience of fighting, but by collecting... comic books... Ok. The moves themselves get repetitive quick, and the finishers while matrix-esque, are not unique enough to get you excited to seeing them performed. About the only cool part in finishing off your opponent is the occassional scripted sequence where you dispatch an enemy in some crazy jumper-ific way. While the location you kill them at is set by the game, the first time you see Griffin jump several thousand feet in mid-air with his opponent, only to jump away leaving the baddy to free-fall to his death is awesome. Unfortunately as said before, its a scripted sequence you can't control where, nor when it happens.The game levels themselves run on rails, so despite the movie's tagline that "Anywhere is possible", that's not entirely true with the game. Sure you play in iconic settings that were from the movie, but you don't even get the ability to 'Jump' anywhere in that level. You can however teleport short distances in the level that you're able to move your 'jump cursor' to, (which are always ground-based locations) and special 'focal points' in the level that were designed to allow you to jump to areas that you can't necessarily walk to. For a game that is set in a movie with no limits, you certainly do play with them.In the end the game is a frantic button masher, trying to press the right button to attack from and chain moves together so your opponents aren't able to counter attack. There is no save-game feature aside from the usual checkpoint system, so if you screw up and die, you may have re-mash those buttons on waves of bland Paladin fighters as well as other types of enemies the movie doesn't cover. I guess the one real surprise from renting this game was how rediculously easy it was to rack up 350 gamer points in just 20 minutes of gameplay. The developers basically took 20 simple goals and tagged 50 points to each one of them. So if you have the patience to grind through scores of Paladins with baseball bats (yes, baseball bats!) and those electric cow-prods, you should be able to pump up that GamerScore quite nicely.But all in all, if you're looking for a gaming extension to do what you saw in the movie, don't bother being disappointed and 'jump' clear of this over-priced, railed fighting game.

This is one of the most underrated games I have ever played. The story is pretty good, and voice acting is top notch. Samuel Jackson does the voice over for his character in the game and it makes the whole experience that much better.The combat in the game is similar to the Batman Arkham games and its a blast to play. I love all the different enemies you face in this game. If your a fan of the character Nightcrawler from X-men you will have hours of fun with this. The game is about 7 hours so you will spend a decent amount of time trying to beat it. In the game you play as Griffin but if you beat the game you unlock the ability to play as Samuel Jackson himself which is pretty awesome. This games achievement list is an easy 1000 Gamerscore so all you achievement hunters out there should play this game. So if you think games like Assassin's Creed, Alan Wake, Uncharted, God of War, Darksiders, and the Batman Arkham games are good boy are you in for a surprise. Jumper Griffin's Story tops all of those games and deserves to be the king of action adventure games on this generation of consoles. Amazon uses the star rating system but I give this game a 9.2 out of 10 yeah its that good buy it you won't regret it.
