I could have taken another run at <em>Hard Target<\/em> as once you have completed the game and obtained the Chinese Sword the game pretty much plays itself through the first five levels. The only difficult part was the next-to-last boss, the one that you have to face in several different levels, that caused me to lose my only life during my second play-through.<\/p>\n<p>I doubt I will attempt to gain these last hundred points seeing as I have already put the game back in the mail. Jumper is definitely a game you should rent if you want to gain a quick 900-1000 points in an evening. The game-play does suffer from some broken parts. I got stuck on objects, below stairs, and couldn&#8217;t tell where my character was too many times to count during battles in dark brown and black levels. The comic-esque cut scenes do add a bit of nice to the overall game. After all, this is clearly a rent-only title. It&#8217;s short, suffers from movie-tie-in syndrome, and has horrible camera controls. It&#8217;s only redeeming quality is the speed and ease it throws its twenty achievements at you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jumper has to be the quickest 900 points I have ever gained.
