Jumper: Griffin's Story

About

Jumper Griffin's Story casts you as a teen with teleportation powers hunting down enemies across surreal environments. Use rift jumps to dodge attacks and reposition for combat against waves of Paladins in fast paced brawls. The levels shift between abstract settings mixing urban and fantastical elements as you chain teleportation with melee and ranged strikes. Story missions advance a revenge driven plot tied to the protagonist's personal loss. Based on the 2008 film but set before its events this game features Jamie Bell reprising his role from the movie. It earned 68 on Metacritic balancing solid action with polarizing presentation choices. The Wii version added motion controls for combat while the PS2 and 360 editions focused on button mashing. Available since 2008 it remains a niche entry in the superhero action genre with a dedicated fanbase appreciating its kinetic gameplay loops.
