Jackass: The Game Review

If you’ve ever watched an episode of jackass, or maybe one of the movies, you’ll notice that these guys do an interesting variety of stupid yet amusing things; in one episode, they’ll be pole-vaulting over volleyball nets, and in the next, they’ll be driving around to gas stations, only to have a gagged naked fellow burst out of the trunk.  This is where developer Sensory Sweep drops the ball; instead of giving a fun variety of things to do, there’s two things to do. Two. 2. Dos. Here’s the full list of available activities:

1. Ride a vehicle that’s clearly not meant for riding, like an ostrich.
2. Launch yourself into the air and fly across the level, then crash.

Stringing these two things together into combos makes up the basis for this entire game; besides the occasional dodgeball game (which I’ll also get to in a minute), some strange combination of launching and vehicle riding is the basis for every mission. It gets old extremely fast, and despite Sensory Sweep’s efforts to make the thing more robust and fulfilling, it is neither of those things. Launching yourself with a dump truck is fun maybe two or three times, but unfortunately you’ll be at it far longer than that. It doesn’t help that you’re continually made to launch yourself to a very precise spot, with almost no means of controlling where you’ll land during the launch other than sheer guesswork, or trial and error (usually the latter).

 

 Our Rating for Jackass: The Game Review
3.2

Repetitive missions, bad collision detection, overly simple sophomoric premise, and bad minigames.
0.1

Unable to test this feature.
4.1

The camera is okay, but moving is generally clunky. Using a launcher is slightly entertaining, but aggravating in your relative inability to control where you land.
4.7

Nothing’s really outright ugly, but everything’s incredibly bland.
2.9
Overall
This game is just barely playable, and fun for a total of five minutes.
