#Jackass the game gameplay series

There is quite the pile of video game parodies in Jackass' 40 missions.

The one exception is Wee Man, who only shows up in special 'Wee Games,' such as juggling with lit dynamite sticks thrown in at random, or stabbing a table around your selected Jackass' spread-out hand. With one notable exception, every character you unlock has multiple unlockable outfits you gain new outfits by completing objectives, and you can change into new outfits for every mini-game. There is a nominal storyline - after a prank results in the show's director getting a hospital stay, you, a random drunk guy, are selected to replace the director for the new season - but it really won't matter except that it decides when and how people are unlocked. Complete all five games satisfactorily, and you'll get a cut scene introducing a new character to the game, and a new set of five more games.

Pick one, and you will be given either a set of scores to beat in that game, or five more specific goals, which usually involve wrecking things or inflicting a minimum or maximum amount of injury to yourself, though objectives quickly get surprisingly creative over time. The basic format of the game is as simple as can be.

#Jackass the game gameplay series

Many of the cast from the movies and TV show return as playable characters to help the game feel like a series of really painful vignettes. Interestingly, however, the game's stunts are relatively tame compared to the movie, typically favoring violence or 'extreme sports' over some of the most disgusting and puke-worthy pranks and stunts. Each in-game stunt follows the style of a scene from the TV series almost perfectly, starting off with the character introducing himself by saying his name, saying the stunt's name, and then proceeding to attempt said stunt. Several members of the Jackass crew were involved, providing ideas for many of the 35 stunts, many united only by the theme that even the questionably sane 'Jackass' crew would not dare try them in real life. Jackass: The Game has been in development for a while in the commentary for the second 'Jackass' movie, it's mentioned that one of the tamer pranks immediately followed the shooting of a promo for the game. They decided to end the series on a high note with 'Jackass: The Movie,' and the stunts have repeatedly shown up since in similar shows, like 'Viva la Bam.' To say that 'Jackass' was - and is - big is an understatement it's perhaps MTV's most popular show ever. Basically, 'Jackass' is a reality TV stunt show where a crew of performers of varied character - including Jason 'Wee-Man' Acuña, Johnny Knoxville, skater Bam Margera and his Camp Kill Yourself crew and Bam's parents - perform dangerous, sick or just plain weird stunts.Įach episode begins with a warning message along the lines of, 'The stunts in this show/movie/game were performed by professionals, so neither you nor your dumb buddies should attempt anything from this show/movie/game.' The original TV show was infamously censored at the behest of Senator Joe Lieberman, which led to its cancellation after the third season. Just be aware that you're going to be missing out on a reasonably good licensed title.įor those of you who don't know what 'Jackass' is, the best advice I can give you is to hit Netflix or a rental store and rent the two movies, preferably the unrated versions. Otherwise, you can skip out on Jackass: The Game and still be a cool or interesting person. First, have you watched either or both 'Jackass' movies, or a significant portion of the TV show? Second, have you ever wanted to do any of the stupid stunts they perform in the show, in spite of the now-trademarked warning messages? Third, do you like mini-game collections if the mini-games are done well? If you answered 'Yes' or 'I am intrigued by this' to all three questions, then keep reading. 100 words is a little to much.Before continuing to read this review, please ask yourself three questions. I don't know why I have to do this but I really won't do this everytime I buy something. THis is plum crazy have to write up to 100 words. I bought this game Jackass and it is alot of fun.
