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 loving tribute to Shonen Jump's manga history in 3D arena fighting game form. Come and stay for the mindless brawling, ignore everything else.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you’ve got anime fans who are down to button mash and watch the sparks fly, Jump Force’s fighting system allows for good fun. Alas, don't go into this game expecting a story driven gaming experience.

Jump Force is a solid anime fighter in its own right, but ultimately falling flat with a significant lack of polish in many aspects make it stand out. If you’re not a fan of any of the Jump manga or anime, then best steer clear of this one.

Jump Force does what a fighting game should do really well, but it is held back by other factors that make the game less than it could be.

Jump Force is first and foremost an entertaining brawler who lives from his licenses and powerful visual effects. If you leave aside the loveless staging, the graphic style that takes getting used to, and some questionable design decisions, the rapid, albeit quite simple fights are especially memorable. But let's be honest: Jump Force lacks so much fine-tuning, depth and ambition that the brawler inevitably has to live an existence in mediocrity. And yet, the distinctive fan service, which can be found in so many facets of the game, should draw anime and manga fans of all kinds into its spell.

Not even one of the best rosters in gaming could save Jump Force from its boring fighting system

Jump Force is best enjoyed by separating it from the story entirely. It isn’t worth your time to invest in this half-baked storyline with its soulless characters and poor plot.
