(for Nintendo 3DS) Reviewīetween missions, you occasionally witness an exchange between characters, which serves to highlight each character's personality. For example, you must either beat the character you want to recruit into your squad, or beat the character menacing you. You take on mission after mission, all of which have the same structure. Once the formalities end, you are dropped into an online hub where you undertake key missions to further the story. You learn that the Shonen Jump universes all run parallel to our own, and some unforeseen threat has merged them all together to wreak havoc. You are injured in the attack, and much to my surprise, are thrown into a character creation screen, where you can create a hero and take part in the story alongside the Jump Force. Frieza and an army of possessed warriors called Venom attack New York City, and the Jump Force steps in to thwart the invading evil. My issues with the story stem from the game's grandiose presentation and introduction. I abhor all of the Japanese Dragon Ball voices, so any voiced scenes with Goku in it are about as fun to listen to as radio static. The few scenes with voicework are exclusively in Japanese, which irked me. Instead, Jump Force uses bland character exchanges between characters in looped animations to get plot points out of the way. One would think that a crossover fighting game featuring some of the most prominent and influential Shonen Jump franchises, such as Dragon Ball, Fist of the Northstar, and Naruto, would give these characters something interesting to do. Jump Force's greatest weakness is its story, which is woefully simplistic and makes poor use of its robust cast of characters. Jump Force is a fun pick up for Shonen Jump manga fans, but with so few stand out elements outside of its combat, the PC game feels like a budget title rather than a full $59.99 purchase. On the downside, the game has an uninteresting story mode, highly repetitive missions, and horrid cut scenes that feature an awkward visual aesthetic that renders its cartoonish cast in a semi-realistic fashion. On the upside, the combat is fast and hectic, though a handful of characters feel unbalanced compared to the rest of the cast. 1 battles, tagging in your reserves or using them as support to keep your combo going. You create teams of three fighters, and fight in 1 vs. Jump Force is an arena fighting game that pits dozens of famous Shonen Jump characters against one another in a fight to save the Earth.
