Jumper: Griffin's Story (Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2)
common sense media says
Gamers should "jump" away from this bad brawler.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this is a fighting game featuring hand-to-hand combat. The violence isn't that graphic because there is no blood and bodies disappear after falling to the ground. Parents should also know players will be treated to ten different "drop zone" cinematic sequences that quickly teleport Griffin and the enemy to another spot on earth -- and Griffin leaves the baddie in a comprising situation before zapping back to the present location. For example, the short video clip may show the enemy left in the middle of a frozen tundra, falling from a cliff, or about to be crushed in a garbage dump's car compacter. The dire end is not shown, just implied. While curse words can be heard, they aren't spoken very often.
