Comic Jumper: The Experience
User Rating: 8 | Comic Jumper: The Adventures of Captain Smiley X360
Let me just start by saying I came into this game with very low expectations after being disappointed by all the hype in Twisted Pixels previous title, Splosion Man. The only reason i tried it is because the premise sounded promising. (The free themes and awards were a nice incentive to get it too) so after playing about 1/4th of the game, I can proudly say this is one of the most intuitive gaming experiences in the XBLA. Although some parts, Such as having to replay a segment several times because of dying before the next check point and the parts where you are running and gunning is a little slow on the cursor movements make the game lose some of its appeal, its great sense of humor and excellent way of tying in with the comic book gameplay make it a title definitely worth checking out. Just an FYI, if the demo doesn't manage to entice you, theres not much else to explore besides the different art styles of the other comics, but id highly recommend the demo first to see if you like the combat style.
