    The best compliment I can give Jazz: Trump's Journey is that this could easily be a $15 game on XBLA or PSN, and I honestly hope it makes it into those consoles because this is a game that needs to be seen and played by those who might not have an iPad. But until then, those of you with one should already be playing what has become my all-time favorite iPad game.

    JAZZ: Trump's journey is a much needed palette cleansing platformer for iOS; it may not be the most challenging title, but its gorgeously rendered world, ear caressing audio and buttery smooth controls make it a joy to play from start to finish.

    Jazz has style, class, and excellent controls, making it one of the best platformers we've played lately.

    Particularly beautiful for an iOS game, both on the iPad and iPhone, Jazz also enjoys a small price but great gameplay that make it hard to overlook. Its atmosphere and identity are strong, the music is fantastic, and even though its genre is overcrowded, it's really a title not to miss.

    With its early-20th century aesthetic, awesome soundtrack, and solid gameplay mechanics, JAZZ finds a winning combination with great appeal.

    A wonderful, articulate meander through the birth of a musical style, Jazz: Trump's Journey shows just how important and innovative iOS games have the power to be.

    Its not just a clever idea, it's a clever idea wrapped in an extremely alluring (and well put-together) package. One that's totally worth playing.

    If you choose to play this game, which you probably should, play it all the way through to the very end. It's an incredibly ambitious game that sets out to tackle an issue that most other games will often only hint at.

    The play style of Jazz: Trump's Journey is wonderfully enjoyable for fans of the platforming genre. While the title does make use of rather common game mechanics, it also has a handful of interesting ones, and at least makes an attempt to use the commonplace in more unique manners. Additionally, the game's style is just fantastic, with any flaws being nothing more than picking nits.

    Whatever you take from the story is up to you, but if there is one thing that you'll take away from this experience then it is the excellent platforming. The story and presentation is just the glue that ties it altogether, but underneath that layer of art and music is a love letter to platforming.

    Jazz: Trump's Journey isn't the game I hoped it would be, but it's still an enjoyable and unique platforming adventure from beginning to end.
