As good as most licensed games in the 00s, it's mediocre. This game follows the formula of fighting a couple of enemies at a time with some platforming on the side. Your goal is to reach the end of a stage, save the captive natives along the way, and collect relics to use them to upgrade your attributes. Rinse and repeat for roughly 24 levels.
It didn't take a page from the 3D Mario games by having the character's shadow underneath them at all times to assist the player to land when jumping, so it makes it unnecessarily difficult to judge where to land when jumping across. Sloped edges on the ground may cause Jack to lose his footing, so that plus the troubling depth perception makes it a pretty frustrating time. Enemies also tend to respawn out of view and immediately fire upon Jack without warning.
It's a short game. You could probably finish it in under 5 to 6 hours.
