Jumper: Griffin's Story is an adaptation of the Movie adaptation of a book series. This movie features Samuel L Jackson on a genocidal hunt to kill a race of people who are portrayed as 2000's asshole "cool". He says the term "Jumper" with the ferocity of a slur. In this game you play as the semi-shadow-esque character Griffin to Hayden Christensen's "White Rice".

This game has a combat system in which each face button attacks from a different direction, depending on camera position. Y Button will always be the back of the enemy, X the left side, etc. There are green sides that will appear that will build your super meter, and red sides that will be countered. This is a fun Arkham-esque combat/combo system, if the game didn't feel like shit. I mean I still got some of the fun of the combat out of this, but this game does not utilize its potential really at all; it's just a slightly cool thing to use for 2 hours in this crappy license game.

The boss before the final boss is really punishing compared to the rest of the game. I actually kind of liked it cause I actually had to play the game, but still its a jarring jump(er (teehee)).

This game has some Super Death Cut-scenes that play randomly(?) when you kill enemies. I would recommend watching this cause some of them are hilariously brutish. Like these Jumper people are just assholes.

This is like THE trash heap movie adaption of the 7th console generation.

Runs like shit.
Godawful soul draining gameplay.
About 2 Hours long.
Doesn't expand on the characters or the plot of the source material.

This is an embarrassing cash grab. I'm sure there is at least one person who gave a fuck about this project but I honestly couldn't tell.

Go play the “Wanted: Weapons of Fate”..
