Huge roster of manga and anime legends, Impressive, anime-accurate super moves
Overcomplicated controls, with blocking and dodging feel random, Messy story and mission integration, Does it want to be a fighter? An RPG? Story driven? Who knows

Suitably bonkers story mode, Expansive character roster, Simple controls and easy-to-access mechanics

Fluid, exciting gameplay that's inviting for all players, Beautiful fighting environments
Terrible story mode features lifeless characters and text dialog, Weak roster, Too many loading screens, Lack of substance in online capabilities
Fighting games have spent this generation exploring new gameplay models and experimenting with additional ones to try and draw more interest from the casual public. Jump Force is not that game. It sticks to its guns as a pure fighter, so if you were hopin...
