I admit, I have my issues with JP: The Game. I too don't necessarily considerer it "Canon-Canon", but when I play the game I take it as if the film were happening at the same time. There are many controversal topics portrayed in the game, and many alterations. However, I look at it the same way George Lucas viewed his Star Wars saga; the films are the ultimate canon, with games, comics, stand-alones, etc. having there own unique canon that forms a larger universe. Then there's also the novel canon, essentially a parallel to the film universe albeit darker and in many ways more believable. Whether you like the game or not, until the game is officially recognized by Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, I don't think it will be viewed as a primary source for canon (filmmakers won't completely alter a script to make it fit the game's story, etc.)
