    Hive Jump has a strong premise, but it stumbles out of the gates. [Issue #32 – March/April 2018, p. 23]

    Overall, Hive Jump is a disappointing game in light of the attention and buzz it once attracted. There are the bones of an interesting concept here, but it never seems to come together quite right once everything gets rolling. Repetitive gameplay, disappointing performance and ho-hum presentation make this a game that’s 'ok' at best. We’d recommend this one only to players who are eager for a co-op action shooter for their Wii U. It does what it says on the tin, just don't expect to come away from this one wowed by the experience.

    Hive Jump for the Wii U is a perfect game for the system. It's great co-op fun and a well crafted game. There are a few frame rate issues butHive Jump for the Wii U is a perfect game for the system. It's great co-op fun and a well crafted game. There are a few frame rate issues but nothing that kills the game. The graphics are great, music is epic and the rouge lite elements addicting. This is a no brainer buy for anyone looking for a run and gun or great co op game.… Expand
