Play MagazineA cartoon as cool and stylized as Samurai Jack deserves a game to match, and Virtucraft Studios deliver. [May 2003, p.63]
-
Nintendo PowerJumping across wide gaps can be difficult because of the angular shapes of the game's platforms. [Feb 2003, p.158]
-
This game isn't a bad little adventure if you're an avid watcher of the Cartoon Network series, or if you just want to hack and slash some futuristic evil; but just be prepared to fight with the controls, and don't expect the most intense action, either.
-
The problem: Samurai Jack moves much too slowly and his vertical leap makes the real life Michael Jordan at age 40 look like Tobey Maguire's computer-enhanced Spider-Man in downtown New York.
-
Pocket GamesThe main problem with this game, though, is that the developers don't know Jack. [Summer 2003, p.46]
-
While the game’s graphics manage to capture the look and visual style of the show, the stiff controls, redundant action, and frustratingly lousy collision detection ultimately sour the experience. Simply put, Samurai Jack is just no fun.
