[edit] Overview
You are Joe Danger, the world’s most determined stuntman. You live to thrill the crowd and break World Records. Take on your friends or race against your rivals – the reckless “Team Nasty”. You laugh in the face of danger, and it laughs back, as you bounce from boulder to boulder, on fire, towards that pile of mousetraps. Freeze the game at any point and edit your level however you want it.
[edit] Gameplay
Similar to games such as Trials HD, Joe Danger sees players riding a motorcycle and trying to get it safely to the end of each level, each with several objectives such as collecting letters or beating a time limit. Players are able to duck and hop to avoid obstacles and can position themselves whilst in mid-air. There are several parallel tracks in each level, which the player can switch at certain gates, enabling them to avoid obstacles or gain extra bonuses. Bonuses can also be attained for pulling off stunts such as landing on targets.
The game also features a level editor where players can create their own courses and share them online, as well as multiplayer modes.
[edit] Reception
IGN gave the game a score of 9.5 and an Editor's Choice award, saying 'a great variety of challenges and freedom to explore will have you addicted. Joe Danger just feels good to play."[4] Eurogamer scored the game 8 out of 10 complimenting the game's bright, vivid graphics and sounds effects and gameplay saying, "If you like video games, you ought to like this."[5] GameInformer gave the game a 9.0 score, calling it 'an ambitious and exciting new franchise.'[6]
