Review: Jump was one of the best games I have ever played on the Oculus Rift and seeing it on the Gear VR filled me with both excitement and apprehension at the same time. But I really didn’t need to worry because they have done a brilliant job of bringing it to the Gear VR. The controls are just as responsive thanks to it needing a controller and the fear factor, esspecialy at great hight is still there. Jump is one of those games that will deeply divide opinion, esspecialy when it comes to value for money.

Some people will fly through the 5 levels then moan that there wasn’t enough of them. Then there are people that will enjoy the challenge of doing each level faster, in fewer jumps and even challenging friends the same way. Those people who play this game to its fullest potential will see it as a real bargain and one of the best VR games there is. Which one you are is sadly only realised when you download it. My opinion? I couldn’t suggest it enough and think its one of those Gear VR games I happily play for hours on end.
