Jackass The Game comes a bit too late. Too late since the popularity of the show has passed its top, too late since we're fed up with minigames, too late since we've played just about a trillion better games over the last three years. But since in every reviewer there's also a sparkle of a sadomasichist we take the time to take on this title.

First off a note to the developers: if you want us to act as a monkey, give us a playground as in Crackdown, but with more stuff, puke, animals and stuff to hurt nitwits with.

There, now that that's out of the way we can say a bit more about the mediocricy that we did receive. No doubt there's been put a lot of hard work in making this game (and you notice that love in the presentation) and a lot of kids, that's how they call the scum these days, will find this game under their christmas tree. Where they expect shadenfreude and unbound fun, disappointment will be their share.

The characters and many stunts from the TV-show make their appearance, and fired up by a good soundtrack the makers manage to create the atmosphere we're looking for. Everything collapses like a pudding, however, when you notice the mini-games consist of a variation on things we've played so many times already. The "innovation" is of course in how rude and jucky things are as well as in the bone-breaking details, but this "fun-for-five-minutes" factor wears off after about... four minutes.

Despite some light at the end of the tunnel (shopping cart racing on a roof for instance) the gameplay never works and doesn't even manage to get that "Damn that must hurt"-look on our face. We won't go out of our head for the graphics either, they're ok for the PSP-version (identical to those on the PS2 but then euhm... for the PSP), but fall short compared to what we're used to on its big daddy.

What the show itself already showed is actually the perfect conclusion of this review. Suffering pain can be done in endless ways that are endlessly more fun than Jackass: The Game. And no, we don't want a version for the Wii. No!

PRO

  • Made with love
  • Good atmosphere

CON

  • Falls short just about everywhere
