    This turned out to be a better game than I expected. It's a Metroidvania-style game with a decent-sized map. There are shortcuts to help reduce travel time between different areas, which are useful as the game requires you to backtrack frequently as you acquire new items and skills. The sprites in the game, particularly for Jack, nicely capture the look of the animated series. But theThis turned out to be a better game than I expected. It's a Metroidvania-style game with a decent-sized map. There are shortcuts to help reduce travel time between different areas, which are useful as the game requires you to backtrack frequently as you acquire new items and skills. The sprites in the game, particularly for Jack, nicely capture the look of the animated series. But the overall aesthetic of the game feels a little spare. It’s got the minimalism of the series but none of the artistry. The gameplay sometimes felt needlessly repetitive (so many spiders to kill in the first few stages) and the story was spread quite thin. Still, it was worth a play and offers some decent entertainment value. And it’s got that infectious theme song!… Expand

    While I have to quibble about the juming controls being clunky; the action is well-paced, the graphics match the cartoon in lively colors and interesting layout, the story is respectable, and the sound is a nice touch. [Feb 2003, p.110]

    The animation is truly a sight to behold. Jack almost moves as he would in the cartoon. Even the sword slashes move like they do sometimes on the shows.

    The action is solid for the most part and the RPG elements add some depth. It's got its problems, but it's still a world ahead of most games based on a lucrative license.
