Worst Games Ever - Jumper: Griffin's Story
Vložit

- Jumper: Griffin's Story is a bad video game centred around a spin-off story from a Hayden Christensen movie that nobody has ever watched. If that's not the least enticing elevator pitch you've ever heard, you're not using the right elevators.
Thank you to Lloyd for sending us this game!

Just for the record, Jamie Bell is from Durham, so there's literally no good explanation for how horrible his accent is considering that is his actual honest-to-goodness real life accent, lol.
In from County Durham, I’ve definitely never heard an accent like this!
Perhaps he showed up to record whilst drunk or high, or both?
You accent experts acting like you’re hundred per cent certain on his accent lol. It’s mixed with Irish.
Shame nobody told him. "Er yeah can you do a second take on that and actually maintain your accent?"
But then again they only had a voice acting budget for one actor.
He can jump cars, he did it in the movie! You have to want to jump things with you. In the film, the bad guys end up strapping jumpers to walls to try to restrain them, because if you plug wires into them and then something else, it like "grounds" them so they can't jump without taking that thing with them. In the climax of the film Griffin himself (I think) talks about how someone once tried to escape the evil guys by "jumping" his entire apartment - which he was pinned to by wires by the bad guys - and he just exploded or got torn apart. It's a really good movie and I recommend watching it.
I agree, good movie, just underrated, because of Hayden Christensen being the lead character, because of his "controversial" role in the 2 Star Wars prequels, which I neither care about, or have seen personally. Just not a Star Wars fan myself. But I have seen Jumper, in theaters, and I agree completely, my dude. Good movie, just not a very good game. But I do respect Jamie Bell for coming back to reprise his role in this game. He's not a bad actor, just gets a lot of smaller roles in bigger movies. Like Fant-four-stic, for example. I didn't even know he played Ben Grimm in that movie because Fant-four-stic sucked, and was dull and boring looking. Plus, I didn't even see fant-4-stic. What a waste of Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and especially, Jamie Bell. But more people do need to see Jumper, it gets a lot of crap, mainly because of this game, and the fact that Hayden Christensen stars in it, and just judged the book by it's cover on this one. Not saying it's a perfect movie, but it's a really good one. Although I haven't read the books the movie is based on, or even knew that the movie was even based on a book, because the book came out before I was born.
The first thing they teach you in police training is to drive your police car at full speed directly at the suspect. Slowing down when approaching objects is strictly prohibited.
Hey, in this day and age, I bet there are some real life policemen, that actually would be itching to just mow down people, that are classified as criminals, much like what went on with the riots in America.
Funny thing is, they’re proper slagging off Griffin’s voice acting and it’s ACTUALLY Jamie Bell and it’s just pretty much his normal voice (and yes, he’s British)
So. Just bad acting.
@@kylecook7187 no. Bad acting has nothing to do with accent which is what they’re slagging off on. He’s an exceptional actor.
Every time the emulator starts a game in German, my first thought is “Hallo, ich bin Cheggers!”
"Jumpelstiltzkin" deserved more recognition.
I genuinely loved the Jumper movie. Remember seeing the reviews for this game and avoiding it entirely.
Griffin was an interesting character, even if he was a side character
I enjoyed the movie, but must admit, i really preferred the stories in the books
@@gincairn8763 I didn't even know Jumper was based on a book, because I wasn't even born in 1992. I was born a year later, in 1993. But I also enjoyed the movie, I remember seeing it in theaters when I was 15, and enjoying it. Although Griffin's an interesting character, the last time we see the guy, he's just left behind by the main character, trapped underneath some girders, because he lost a fight, which was a pretty good fight, with the 2 main characters throwing each other through famous landmarks throughout the world. But when Peter and Ben say that the movie's loosely based on the book, how loosely are we talking here? Like, are the main characters switched in the book, does the bad guy win, does the love interest get killed off or something? But you know, sometimes, you just have to take liberties when adapting something, because that makes it more interesting, sometimes. But not always the case. But look at things that don't loosely follow their source material closely. Most of the time, it works. But there's been times when it's been a big failure. I wouldn't say that about Jumper though. Thought i thought it was one of the best movies of the year. Sort of underrated to me. But to be fair, Hayden Christensen does get a bad rep for his role in the 2 Star Wars prequels, for his bland acting. And him starring in ANOTHER movie a year after the 3rd Star Wars prequel, I'm guessing people didn't want to see him potentially "ruin" something again, so maybe that's why it didn't too well? Sorry.
Jamie bell is best known as Billy elliot surely
Apparently not according to wikipedia!
I agree, but don't call me Shirley.
He had a big role in King Kong
@@beashnpull
Wouldn't say "big" role but yeah I was going to say the same thing.
Also in Fantastic Four, that crappy reboot
@@bombjack1984 You got it, sorry Shirley.
the art attack jokes were ace & this was a good worst games ep but excluding billy elliot when listing jamie bell's most well known roles did him so dirty :^(
I loved Art Attack when I was a kid.
@@dbone3356 me too! :^)
Surely everyone knows Jamie Bell for his role in Billy Elliot?
The sneaky little edit of The Superman theme the 2nd time we see it, has got to be the heartiest burst of unexpected laughter I've had for a while. Just pure gold.
Hot and Fresh science fact. The guy Griffin talks to at the end, Roland, is played by Samuel L Jackson in the Jumper movie.
This already looks horrendous. Can't wait for 9pm..
I love the amount of time spent just making fun of Jamie Bell's normal speaking voice lol
The intro sounds like an American trying to recite a UK bar fight he overheard.
I love that Billy Ray Walrus is still part of the crew. You guys rule.
I love the way they said that it's not an English speaker and it's bloody Billy Elliot can't wait for the reaction when they find out
I’m commenting mainly for the benefit of Al Gore’s rhythm, but I must also say it hurt inside when Peter listed Jamie Bell’s ‘best-known roles’ and left out Billy Elliot. Years ago, yes, but better known than any of the others!
Was he in Band of Brothers as well?
I mean, it's one of the first things that comes up when you Google his name. "He rose to prominence for his debut role in Billy Elliot, for which he won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role."
Wouldn't exactly say Billy Elliot is better than any of his other roles. He's an excellent actor when he's not given poor lines or direction. Highly underrated.
Hey walrus clan, much love to everyone ❤
Jamie Bell also played Billie Elliott in the film
Right? How'd they miss that out? It was like someone trying to explain who Mark Hamill is by saying he's the guy from Corvette Summer and Brigsby Bear.
@@Jeffelson I've noticed they routinely miss important details in order to make the bad details seem worse. It's so disingenuous.
So if this was a trilogy, would the third one be 'Triple Jumper'? B)
*cracks knuckles and adjusts nerd glasses 🤓*
My hot and fresh science facts for Ben and Peter:
The jumping ability creates “jump scars” or leftover temporary portals that something or someone can travel through after the “Jumper” created it to travel from one point to another. Pretty much why Griffin can take a car to a helicopter. In the movie, the Jumper hunters, or Paladins, use those same jump scars made by Jumpers to their advantage, using electrified wires and stun batons to hinder their jumping ability and tether them in place for the final kill. If tethered, and a Jumper manages to make a jump, the wires keep the scar open with the Jumper on the other side (point B) while grounded from point A.
Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson (Millie in the movie) met while in the making of the movie and eventually married.
Jamie Bell played the main character in the “Wake Me Up When September Ends” music video by Green Day, opposite of Evan Rachel Wood, (Dolores Abernathy in WestWorld)
Samuel L. Jackson is a badass in the movie.
How did you get all the way through this without mentioning Billy Elliot?
Triple Jumper: Hayden Skywalter's Story
Hello everyone. Hope you are all doing well during this tough time.
"What accent does he have?" He has Jamie Bell's accent as he played him in the film and voiced him in the game... and he wasn't attempting any sort of accent in them.
Missed science fact is that he was also Billy Elliot
Before watching the video I assumed Neil Buchanan was in the thumbnail because it was called ‘Jumper’ (because of Neil’s iconic red jumper)
I now have it in headcannon that these aren't just edited in jpegs of Billy and Dick, but Peter in a green zentai, floating them around in front of the green screen to sync up with the live recording going on between him and Ben.
As Neill used to say on his show, "No need to be neat and tidy"
Jackson's King Kong is my absolute favorite iteration by far. Even the video game was decent
It’s a very good movie but the visual effects,(outside of kong himself) particularly the use of green screen are horrible at times. Which is so weird for Jackson and weta coming off of the lord of the rings which visually hold up very well almost 20 years later. Not to mention King Kong had a notoriously massive budget.
Ah yes, my favourite Star Wars character, anniekid skywalter
It hurt me inside when Ben died and had to start the level again. Really good episode, boys.
The real question is should future souls like games include an art attack?
I remember trading in all my games to get this on ps2 when I was younger.. The 360 trailers fooled me, and I just remember being so letdown. Some of the worst graphics ever!!
I feel like this game and robin hood's quest would be good friends
Jumper is a good film, this game really doesn’t do it justice
Ehhhhh, it wasn't bad.
@@gakk8658 I agree. Pretty good movie. Probably the only time Hayden Christmas did a good movie, in my opinion. But what I don't get, is why Jamie Bell's character got his own game/story, because when we last see his character, Hayden's character traps him under a bunch of steel girders, doesn't he? I mean; their fight was pretty exciting to me; at least. I remember seeing this movie in theaters when I was 15. A good movie, but not really that memorable. Like, a 2 star movie, at best. I don't even remember who the villain was, or who even played him, or what his character's name was. But I like the movie. And I'll say, even though they've both been in some movies most people would consider bad, neither Jamie Bell or Hayden Christmas-San are really bad actors, it's just, Hayden's bad acting in the Star Wars prequels that give the guy a bad rep, and the same can sort of be said about Jamie Bell for his performance in Fant-Four-Stic, which sucked, no matter how many ok actors that movie had.
@@shawnfields2369 Shattered Glass is also a great film. If it weren’t for Anakin, he would probably be looked at in a better light.
@@carolfromhr9900 You're definitely right, about Hayden Christensen, probably not his fault, he didn't write or direct Star Wars Episode 2 and 3, he just showed up, did his job, and acted in those movies. It's also most likely NOT his fault for Jumper being called a bad movie either, I saw it, and I really like it. I've heard that the Star Wars prequels have other reasons to be as infamous as they are, anyway. But then again, I haven't seen the other 2 Star Wars prequels, only saw the first one(which I know, he wouldn't play Anakin until the 2nd movie, but I'm only saying I saw the first one, then i just lost interest in the series as whole), in theaters with my Dad a a kid, and was obsessed with the racing game on the n64, and so was my Dad, but I haven't seen Shattered Glass, but the movie sounds familiar, though.
@@shawnfields2369 Perhaps because his character was far more interesting and capable than Hayden's character, who spent virtually every single Paladin encounter pinned to a wall, meanwhile Griffin was jumping cars and buses and pulling off explosive jumping attacks. There is also a book dedicated to Griffin's story. It's kind of funny, though, that you can't remember the villain, considering he was played by Samuel L. Jackson. I also don't know why Fantastic Four is relevant to everyone when Jumper came out long before Fantastic Four lol.
THIS IS THE CONTROL SPLAT
He’s briiiitiiiiish. Wouldn’t it say that in the research?
the blinking car to hit the helicopter made me literally laugh out loud.
I actually loved the movie jumper. Wish it took off so they could make more.
Yeah, I really like it too. Sure wish it had done better as well. And certainly the best movie Anakin Skywalter did. But Jamie Bell's character is not as memorable as Hayden Christensen's character, even though Griffin is the one that recruits Hayden into his group in the first place and had a personal grudge against the main bad guy, but was too scared to fight him by himself because he thought he'd get killed or something. But then; in the movie, after Hayden and Griffin fight each other, Griffin just gets trapped beneath a girder by the main character, and we never see him again. What a waste of a character. If he weren't such a wuss, he could've helped instead of running(or I guess jumping away), from his problems, like a coward. Griffin, you suck.
@@shawnfields2369 Massive L
@@shawnfields2369 Bro, you clearly don't remember the film well enough to be talking about it like this lol. Griffin didn't "recruit" David. David literally stalked him everywhere he went and pressured him to team up until Griffin *finally* agreed to do it. Griffin was not too scared to fight Roland by himself. I don't know what would even make you say that when Griffin's character dedicates his life to *killing* Paladins; he's hardly scared of Roland. He's been tracking Roland for *years* in the movie and he even tells David to leave Roland to him to take care of by himself because he thinks David will be killed. He has multiple scars all over his body from encounters with Roland. I also don't know what would make you say that Griffin jumps away from his problems lol. David is the one who mainly jumps away from his problems. Griffin jumps *to* his problems and kills them.
Hayden Christensen is supposed to be playing Anakin Skywalker again in the upcoming Obi-Wan movie lol
Jumper: Griffins's Story has come together, beautifully
I almost spit my mouthwash all over the mirror when he dropped the, "Is this the dark souls of adventure games?!?!"
I know i've watched too much Ben content when I said "Hayden Panitierre" at the same time he did
The developers expect you to be able to beat the entire game within 13 minutes, since you get an achievement for it. They knew you can and will just teleport past everything.
Woah guys!!! You got an early release copy of Marvel Avengers? Daaaaayuuuuum. Looks sick.
11:59 is like that scene in Die Hard 4 lol
Shame we never got the sequel: Sweater!
Griffin is my favourite Scouse-Indian-American-Welsh-Scottish-Yorkshireman.
"If it moves, I can jump it"
-Griffin
You guys are starting to get the traction you deserve
Ho boy, I joined this at the wrong time, This is an art attack
Fun fact. The Movie's Griffin is played by Jamie Bell. And Jamie Bell hated every minute working on it. And he was the movie Billy Elliot.
Just have to comment and say Tintin is a bloody good film.
With "Jumper" I thought it meant like a sweater you know the thing you put on over a T-shirt to keep warm.
jamie bell's broad stockton accent
You had me at Art attack😜
4.3.22
Always really happy to see one of these in my sub box
The car teleporting into the helicopter genuinely made me laugh
I kind of want to see your reactions to the film now
This was one of the best episodes there where so many moments that I burst out laughing.
3:36
^ This story is not based on the main protagonist of the film, hence the name Griffin.
Talking about The Fantastic 4 movie's... Saying "You know, the really good one." Doesn't help narrow it down as they're all Oscar contenders.
The Roger Corman Fantastic Four movie >>>> every other Fantastic Four movie
Brian Butterfield and Michael Jugson impressions, mentions of Dick Marcinko and Neil Buchanan, have we ever had an episode without the Vidiots pantheon showing up?
I'm half italian, and it was weird to look at polizia's cars
*teen me thought jumper was so cool*
Silo_Simon holds the speedrun for the Wii version with a time of 14m 51s
Did Final Fantasy 15 copy this game's combat?
Always great to get the boys on a Sunday night!
1. Now I wanna watch that movie ...
2. I wish more only pal games in the show...
I remember trying to patch to NTSC sereveral awful games ...like that altered beast ...
And 3. What about The Crow city of angel ? Or is too bad?
That fucking Superman take off kills me
That was some of the worst dialogues since the Dick Marcinko game.
Tintin was flipping underrated!!
I literally just saw this at my local Salvation Army. I picked up an Atari Plug and Play instead. If it’s still there next time, I’m buying it.
Update: I did actually buy it. Its pretty good condition all things considered.
The PS2 and the Xbox 360 version are almost completely different. The exception to this, they share the same cutscenes. But the gameplay is different.
Ey up, mah nems Griffin 🤪
You're emulating the PS2 version? The art style looks like it's off the DS!
The film was quite forgetful considering it didn't get a sequel or a franchise and I completely forgot the film existed!
My brother got that game with his Xbox 360 (didn't know there was a PS2 version). I thought it sucked, good to know that I'm not alone in it and I wasn't missing out on something
I borrowed this from blockbuster for a weekend and couldn't get past the first fight. Granted I gave up pretty quickly 😂
Oh my god I played this as a kid before I saw the movie and my friend came over who had seen the movie was confused why I was playing as the bad guy!!
Yeah, sounds like ur friend was indeed a little confused. Griffin wasn't the bad guy.
I really want to see who voiced samuel l jackson in this game now!
What emulator do u guys use?
Al gore? Is that you? Great video ladsorladies terrible game though.
Callmekevin needs to play this
This was a special episode of worst games. Pretty bad, damn.
I think some studio had a broken game, and then realized that they could cover up the brokenness by buying the rights to Jumper and wishing real hard that no one would put the facts together.
Because that game looks more broken than usual (even for this show), and the plot is made up out of thin baby-jumper outfit material. (See what I did there? Punny.)
Babies wear jumpers. This game would insult a babys intelligence.
THANK YOU!!! Almost bought this POS.
HILARIOUS!!! 3JUMP never let's me down. Best $4.50 I never spent.
Such a bad game, truly one of the worst, but a great episode none the less. Stay true m'walru
In the movie the character of Roland is played by Samuel L. Jackson. So even more star wars connectivity. It was pretty close off the back of episode 3. I remember seeing this movie in theaters it wasn't terrible...just forgettable.
He sounds like a really bad impersonation of Ewan Mcgregor
I remember playing this game as a kid and I didn't think it was bad, but damn I didn't know it was this bad 😂😂
I prefer films where the protagonist is named Noodles.
I own this garbage on the 360.
Easy 1000g though
true
I saw Jumper in theaters
Jumper was an entertaining movie. Why did they made the game about Griffen though? Maybe Hayden Christiansen didn't want to be a part of it
Also Jamie Bell hated the final product aka the movie. Stating that all the parts that made sense ended up on the cutting room.
Excellent Art Attack refs.
Awh yeahhhhh. That’s what we’ve been waiting for right gang?
On the plus side it was an easy 1000 achievement points (on Xbox 360)
