Jumper is a third-person action fighting game based on 20th Century Fox's upcoming sci-fi action/thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson and directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity). Brash Entertainment has confirmed that the role of Griffin in the game is voiced by Jamie Bell, who also plays Griffin in the "Jumper" film.

There are plenty of kids games on Xbox 360 where the challenge barely bothers to raise itself beyond pressing A to skip the tutorial text, as you dilly-dally through the game while achievements pop all around you."
To all the truck drivers out there who are transporting copies of Jumper: Griffin's Story to retail, please redirect your shipments to Alamogordo, New Mexico. You'll know you are in the right location when you see thousands of E.T. cartridges moving out of the way to make room for your shipment.
Well, games based on good movies turn out to be crap. This game is based on a bad movie...

It never fails; well, I guess there is the oddball here and there throwing a wrench into the mix, but for the most part it is dead on. Far be it for me to keep you all in suspense on the latest verdict, so here it goes; Jumper: Griffin's Story holds firm, and is indeed a miserable game. Clearly thrown together for the purpose of cashing in on what was supposed to be a big time movie, Griffin's Story fails to execute in nearly every category. It is almost shameful that this game was put out there; the overall lack of effort put into the title alone is astounding. Despite my severe agitation and disdain for all those involved in the production of this trite title, which led to my having to play it, I must soldier on. Stay with me because if you still want to play this game after I detail its wealth of shortcomings, then it may be time for you to seek counseling. "
I'm keeping my eye on this game. Most movie games suck as bad as game movies but every once in a while we will get one with good gameplay. I say gameplay because the thats the only thing that has appeal with this game (so far) because the graphics are more or less last gen.
Most games based off of movies are garbage. If Dark Sniper owned a game studio, he would aggressively support the idea of creating an AAA game first, and then directing a movie that coincides with the game's launch. It would need to be done in that order.
From there, you bring in a wide audience of avid movie buffs who enjoy a good movie while pleasing the gamers with a quality title.
