JUMP FORCE Reviews
Jump Force isn’t a game worth playing unless it meets two criteria: you’re really into all of its anime representations and you can find it quite cheap. At $60, Jump Force is a horrid interpretation of the anime industry’s signature publisher.
Being able to use unorthodox characters like Yami from Yu-Gi-Oh! is certainly quite unique, but Jump Force’s barren world barely takes advantage of these opportunities due to lacking gameplay and what feels like too much of a ripoff of Dragon Ball Xenoverse without bringing anything refreshing to the table.
Despite the fact that it suffers from the pressures of attempting to combine fighter mechanics and top selling franchises, Jump Force is a fun fighting game.
Having spent several hours with Jump Force, I feel that it has lost its way somewhere along the line and its ultimately not really entertaining whether you're an anime fan or not.

Behind the thick wall of frustration is hidden one of the most fluid battle systems of the current generation, however not even forty manga warriors were able to break through it. Jump Force should have been a pleasant tribute to the fighting genre, sadly in the end it loses on nearly every front.

Jump Force is a game that left a lot to be desired, specially since is the first Jump game developed exclusively to the Next-Gen consoles. Not only it takes too seriously but also the graphics don't work with the characters at all. Is a solid fighting game, but not much else even for Shonen Jump fans.

Jump Force is definitely the biggest anime crossover in the history of video games and its experience is recommended to all lovers of action titles and of course Japanese anime, but this title has a lot of minor issues that make it a wasted potential, Jump Force could have turned into lasting and unique work, but that hasn't happened. Certainly, the creators and publishers of the game will support this great title and will release a lot of updates and add-ons that will add to the charm of the action, but not all that will fix the game core problems.

A half gas tribute and little worked on in all senses, with quite questionable technical and design decisions. The fights become quite tedious and it is very easy to break the gameplay with certain techniques. Cinematic scenes made with the minimum effort and a plot that does not get to hook at any time. On the other hand, the selection of fighters is interesting and the techniques are quite spectacular visually. A game to give you a chance when there is nothing else to get your hands on.

Generally, I think that Jump Force is a reasonably good fighting game, with a terrible story and too high price. I do feel like fans of the anime involved will appreciate the game much more than others. A lot of care has been taken to transfer the characters from anime format into the game and keep them as they are meant to be. It is also quite fun to see characters from different series talking to each other which you can only really experience in a crossover event.
While not entirely disappointing for the $60, there’s simply too many problems here and there that I can give this game more than an “okay”, and a “maybe” if you’re a fan of the characters in the game. They have a lot of characters coming as DLC and that means a lot of opportunities to push even more patches out, so hopefully, one day we’ll get a game I could say is “fantastic”. I felt no desire to jump nor use force while playing.
It does not claim to be the best fighting game in the multiverse and it certainly is not. But it is a spectacular combination of simplicity, spectacle, tiredness and a lot of wrong gameplay mechanics outside of battle.

Jump Force is a loving tribute to Shonen Jump's manga history in 3D arena fighting game form. Come and stay for the mindless brawling, ignore everything else.
Jump Force delivers a decent brawling experience that is hampered by so many issues that drag the game’s pace to a crawl and even fans will find it hard to overlook the design choices and countless visual glitches that lead to a game that may be rather fun at its core but little more than that.
Jump Force is a mess of a game. It boosts a strong cast of characters and has decent fighting mechanics. The game is just isn't up to par when it comes down to the loading times, framerate and animations.

Jump Force features a massive cast of characters but its gameplay is definitely flashier than deep which makes it eventually become incredibly monotonous and tough to enjoy.
If you're looking for competitive fighting games, then Jump Force isn't for you. But if Anime series has a special place in your heart, you may enjoy it despite its quirks. Though its pretty limited at what it does.

If it wasn’t for Jump Force‘s highly entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable combat, the game would be a disaster. But Jump Force is a fighting game, and so everything about it that’s turgid and unnecessary can largely be avoided or overlooked.
Promising collection of manga and anime characters but quite disappointing as a fighting game

Jump Force certainly has its issues. The off-putting visual representation of some of the cast members, cheap-looking animations during cinematic sequences, and bland lobby appearance are among those problems. But there’s a fun fighter buried underneath all those negatives that you’ll come to appreciate. The massive roster (which is still growing), amazingly chaotic battles and somewhat deep battle system provides plenty of reason for players to act out their best dream match scenarios. Jump Force may not be a manga/anime fan’s dream game, but it comes close enough to fulfilling that wish.
Jump Force was a game I was really looking forward to playing this year. Being a huge fan of the Xenoverse games like you may have guessed already judging by the number of times I mentioned them, Jump Force takes that formula and tries to fit the square peg in a round hole.
