Developer Redtribe (Looney Tunes: ACME Arsenal) makes no mention of Jumper: Griffin's Story on its official website. A few minutes of quality time with the game will reveal why. 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. There is some fun to be had with the game's combat, but this will get old quickly for all but the most hardcore Jumper Super Fans. If that's you, then you must be looking forward to the Meet the Spartans game.
The Xbox 360 has been out for more than two years now, and while there have been a lot of great games released in that time, the 360 has seen its fair share of bad games as well. There isn't quite anything as epically terrible as Drake of the 99 Dragons or Aquaman like we saw on the original Xbox, where Xbox fans are proud to have them in their collection like a badge of honor, but there are plenty of stinkers that could reach those heights of fame and misfortune. Check out our full list of the Ten Worst Xbox 360 Games right here.
In all fairness, Sonic the Hedgehog was garbage across all platforms. With that said, I am actually looking forward to the DS sonic game because it is been developed by Bioware.
i doubt it is as bad as hour of victory. I got it from a friend and it was terrible. Worst use of Unreal engine yet. The faces look like they were made with mud
Not a good game at all.
Actually this whole list I agree with. The biggest disappointments being Blacksite Area51 and Two Worlds because I had high hopes for both of those games so they stung extra hard when I found they were not very good.
They got the list of worst 360 games just about right with many top PS3 games in it.
I played about 15 minutes of lair at a friends. Thats about 10 more minutes than i played Gundam. I really dont even know why i played Gundam im no fan of the show or whatever it is.
Trust me that game belongs in the garbage, not a console.
I actually like Dynasty Warriors Gundam. Now Gundam Crossfire. That is a real, sh!tty game.
Make sure you don't take away the horrible glory of Area 51 away from PS3!! Let's people rag on something other than Lair (I liked Lair actually, just like if you hear horrible things about a movie, its hard to live up to the awfulness)
I never played the first one. I am sure Blacksite would have faired better if it hadn't come out at the end of the year during the golden months of last year.
My expectations were probably a little too high because I enjoyed the first one a lot, but they should of delayed it for a few months. It would probably made the game a whole lot better.
to 5.1 its not saying that the 360 is bad its just a look at the worst games that developers have made. just funny to talk about some of the games people made and there problems . dont go and stick up for 360 when no one is attacking it and just have a laught
Actually wasn't sticking up or putting down either. I only have a PS3, so I know it was a rough game for me on that. Plus I was just bored and felt like commenting. Wasn't one of my "deep thought provoking" posts. :)
If your gamer score is important to you, then Jumper is the game for you as it hands them out like candy on Halloween night. Players should be able to unlock almost all the achievement points after one run through with the game. Outside of that, the other bright spot about Jumper is that it's a short rollercoaster ride that you'll be glad to get off of. Lasting only a few hours, it shouldn't take too long to complete.
There could have been a lot of innovative aspects, but in the end, it's too repetitive. With not challenging the gamers, Jumper's only redeeming factor is the easy-to-earn achievement points.
1UP writes: "The recent box-office success enjoyed by director Doug Liman's Jumper proves that the moviegoing public can still be tricked into paying 10 bucks to consume something awful -- in this case, a sloppy sci-fi romp starring Samuel L. Jackson's bleached hairdo and a wooden-as-ever Anakin Skywalker -- but hopefully, gamers will be savvy enough to jump far, far away from the flick's fetid tie-in title.
For the uninitiated, the term "jumper" refers to people with the power to teleport to any location they've seen, whether they've been there in person or merely seen a photograph. Think: X-Men's Nightcrawler, only without the annoying tail or obnoxious "bamf" sound effect. In the Jumper universe, these gifted individuals must contend with constant strife from the Paladins, a secret society of high-tech warriors hell-bent on eradicating all Jumpers. Surprisingly, Jumper: Griffin's Story doesn't attempt to directly retell the film's plot, choosing instead to augment the movie's storyline by casting you as fellow jumper Griffin. Props should be given for trying something different with the narrative, but the results aren't particularly pretty -- what little story you're given here arrives via comic-book-style cut-scenes that suffer from nasty video compression and uneven voice acting".
Somehow we are not surprised.
