    Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is an incredible action platformer with stunning animation and action that more than lives up to the reputation of the series.

    Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a competent, if linear and somewhat unbalanced, action adventure. You can tell that the game studio was made up of true fans who poured their love for the show into this game. But the scope and grandeur of the Samurai Jack IP are sadly limited by this game's low-budget restrictions. It's fun for what it is, but it left me hungry for more.

    Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a fun romp through some of the episode settings in the series. Although many old characters make appearances, there isn't a whole lot of interaction or story development in-game. This might Battle Through Time a bit harder to get into for players who weren't avid fans of the game. However, if you like old-style action RPG games, this will probably be right up your ally.

    Beyond just being a great game in its own right, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is a sign that licensed games not only work in this age of gaming but are sorely missing. There are so many other Cartoon Network shows that would benefit from this treatment, and I hope Battle Through Time is a sign of things to come.

    The story is nothing special, it is a bit of an expansion on the show's final season.
    The graphics visibly try to mimic the look of the show, which can look bad at some points, but the gameplay is fast enough so that it is not very noticeable. The gameplay in itself is entertaining if you like character action games, although it doesn't have that level of complexity.    … Full Review »

    It's dumb fun playing this game. Story, mechanics and graphics aren't all that special but it is still fun if you're a samurai jack fan. IIt's dumb fun playing this game.

I think this game has a pretty steep launching price considering the quality of the game but if steam does a sale than I would definitely recommend playing. It's just dumb fun.… Full Review »
