From the first trailer of Jump Force, I thought the game was going to be a disaster. There has never been a good 3D Dragon Ball Z game, and the Naruto ones aren't much better. The inherent problem, at least with a DBZ fighting game, is that flying around is at odds with the camera, usually making a...

You'll want to Jump out of the way of this one.

I bought this game for my son, who requested it. He loves playing the game with his brother.

Jump Force tries once again to bring characters from the most popular Shonan Jump franchises together, but once again fails to find balance with its characters and its mechanics. There is fun to be had, but when you dig deep into Jump Force it starts to show just how unpolished it truly is.

Ultimately, if you like anime then this is for you. If you like mashing buttons and watching as Shonen characters enact fights you see in manga pages, you're going to enjoy However, soon after the spectacle is gone, you're left with a shallow but a pretty video game that's story never really goes...

is unapologetically a vehicle for fan service in celebration of 50 years of manga. Even though the core gameplay is enjoyable, it's technical shortcomings and lousy campaign hold it back from becoming a brawler worth recommending. –
