'Jackass' game much less threatening than TV show

by Justin McElroy { May 23rd 2007 at 9:00PM }

You know, we always enjoyed that Jackass program, but thought it would be much improved without the threat of physical injury. Thankfully, Red Mile Entertainment and MTV Games have heard our prayers. Jackass will appear in game form on the DS, PS2 and PSP on Sept. 24. That information alone is probably enough for you to fill in the blanks, but we'll ruin the suspense. It's a series of 35 minigames featuring the likenesses of some of the show's stars. Some are based on actual stunts from the defunct show and some are ideas that Johnny Knoxville and crew had dreamed up but never performed.

The Hollywood Reporter quotes Knoxville as saying "We just hope that our video game is as crappy as our movies." Well, John, with your game not appearing on any current-gen consoles, we feel fairly confident that our dream of a safer Jackass won't be the only one to be fulfilled.

I know the Wii needs another collection of mini games as much as Sony needs more reports from April's NPD numbers, but with the right controls this could be a really fun title on the little system that could. Of course you need to be very careful where you stick that wiimote...

Current-gen? I think next-gen is still appropriate, considering the PS2 is still outselling the 2 main next-genners.

What makes them the main next-genners? HD? Do you decide what defines each generation? The way the Wii and the DS are selling it looks like the 7th gen is being defined by new input methods.

What this needs is NaturalMotion, extreme physics, and a sandbox mode.

What this NEEDS is Oompa-Loompa skateboarding.

@ Justin
If this is only going to appear on the PS2, DS, and PSP, while is the Nintendo Wii listed under filed under and not the Sony PSP. Just pointing out that little mistake. Don't want to confuse those people that don't fully read the posts and articles.
