In games with a cartoonish art style, the double jump just looks, well, cartoonish. In games like Mario, PoP & Zelda, it's not even employed. In games like Metroid (and DMC I believe), the hero performs a front flip, making the additional jump look realistic. 2008's PoP used Elika to make it look believable. But a game with the art style & graphics of God of War.....then the hero does an extra jump off of thin air............no matter how many times I see it, it still looks ridiculous and out of place. What do you think?

Well the concept of jumping while already in mid air is ridiculous regardless of the game.

I definitely agree but it's not so obtrusive that it affects my gameplay experience.

Double jumping isn't ridiculous regardlessof the game. Imagine if after the 1st jump, Kratos used the Icarus wings and flapped hard to get a little vertical boost, before proceeding to glide the normal way he does with the wings. Thats a double jump that looks very real. and I've never seen Samus' double jump look unrealistic. In cartoony games, double jumps are more realistic than most of the other ideas!

I've never been a fan of the double jump. It never made any sense to me that a person can jump again in mid air. The wings are a nice addition though.

Kratos' jump is just ridiculous, period. He looks the same jumping straight up as he does jumping forward! Recycled last gen animations FTL :(

Yea it is funky. Look at Super Smash Bros. to see how to do a double jump correctly.

I have no problem with it. That being said, I'm still stunned by the game's quality and unique battles, so I'm yet to spot any flaws. :)

@Sensei, the games' awesomeness is one of the main reasons why dat jump looks out of place. It's literally the only animation that just looks like it was never meant 2 be in the game.
