Speaking of trying out characters, gamers will have a chance to try out this game during the closed beta that was announced last week. In case you missed the announcement here is the necessary information.

Visually, the game looks stunning. It's one of the few games where we just wanted to spam each character's ultimate move over and over again because it felt so satisfying to dish out a huge chunk of damage while looking stylish and impressive at the same time. There was always a crowd of people watching the game being played. Even if someone wasn't going to sit down to play they still stood by for a few minutes to take in the spectacle displayed on-screen.

In terms of gameplay, the mechanics in Jump Force are varied and difficult to master. That's a good thing. It means the game won't become stale or get figured out completely in its first week or two after release. The two on two combat allows for a myriad of team combinations which opens up strategy and mix-ups during a match. People were able to pull off basic combos and teammate switches every now and then, but we'll only start to see a glimpse of what the game can actually become when the beta opens and people spend time in the lab. Right now the game has potential but we have no idea how to push the game past a simple button mashing, fluid piece of incredible artwork. That being said, we're extremely hopeful that Jump Force will deliver a deep combat experience while bringing to life our favorite Shonen Jump characters.

Details about a preorder bonus were also revealed at the event. You will receive a lobbying vehicle and three exclusive costumes. The vehicle is the one that Frieza is usually seen riding in during the Namek arc of Dragon Ball Z. The costumes are Gold D. Roger's coat, King Vegeta's Saiyan armor and cloak, and the cloak of the 4th Hokage from Naruto. Costumes are most likely not interchangeable so we can assume that these are costumes for Luffy, Vegeta, and Naruto, respectively.
