IGN: Joe Danger PS3 Review

Imagine if Excitebike and Trials HD got together and totally did it. Their baby would be Joe Danger. It's a stunt motorcycle game that combines the physics play of Trials with the cartoon presentation and level editor of Excitebike. I like Trials HD a lot, but those later levels were incredibly frustrating. Joe Danger is a much breezier, lighthearted affair. The later levels are definitely challenging, but I was always ready to get back on my bike and try again. It's great, great fun and a must-download for any PlayStation 3 owner.

damn, nice score.

Never doubted that this game would be amazing for a second. From the first trailer that debuted on GameTrailers TV a few months ago I knew this was going to be a special one. Can't wait to finally get hands on with it on Tuesday!

[psman012]

Wow, way better than I originally expected!

[NYPunk88]

Excite Bike! I loved that game as a kid. This game looks really good. Thanks Subzero for the heads up. Gonna go relive my childhood with this game. :)

[NYPunk88]

just found this clip on their site. looks like so much fun.

I agree callahan that GTTV episode put this game fully on my radar.

I like that games like Shadow complex, Joe Danger, 3d dot game heroes, & modnation racers, give me my old school fix for games like Super metroid, excitebike, Zelda link to the past, & super mario kart.

[Cajun Chicken]

SOLD!

[topdawg122]

Agreed, looks like a blast!

[sikbeta]

Totally!

[Meowhammad]

Yup, can't wait.

[ShadowJetX]

For $10 Million after they negotiate the rights to take off of PSN and force sue Sony into taking it off.

But seriously, I might actually buy this game if people keep saying nice things about it. People said great things about Fat Princess, and at first I was pretty skeptical, but after I tried it, I knew it was the 12 bucks I spent on it, much like the Rasberyl Chapters for Disgaea 3, loved'em yeah.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Great review! This score is well deserved.

[GeoramA]

$15 for that much content is a steal.

Everyone with a PSN account needs to buy this!

[nnotdead]

i think i just might.

[MexicanAppleThief]

Wow. nice score.

[skwidd]

if it has 2 players?

[ThatArtGuy]

2 player offline support

[yoshiroaka]

Looks cool. Would like a psp version of this game too tho.

[seij555]

Another quality game for PS3.

[Mucudadada]

Purchased :D

[Parapraxis]

...wow!

[Mista T]

wow never heard of this game before this, gonna have to give it a try

[TooTall19]

These 4 guys who made the game really care about it, and left a ton of replies on their post.

[jack_burt0n]

i dont see it on the store

@replies
thanks

[subzero-08]

It's not out until June 8th.

It'll be there on next Tuesday's PlayStation Store update.

[Faztkiller]

Comes Out the 8th in US Been looking forward to this since I seen it on GTTV couple months ago

[Skyreno]

BUY :)

[A change in the wind]

Another quality PS3 exclusive, big surprise there.

[subzero-08]

It's not a PS3 exclusive as far as I've heard, but it's a great score nonetheless.

[Esena]

It is a ps3 exclusive. Comment #44 of the ps blog entry has this response... "It’s coming out exclusively to PS3 on June 8th. That button glitch is a really long story. Short answer is it was an old bug and an icon image that snuck in from a PC build! The kind of weird bug that keeps us up all night."

[Faztkiller]

It was going to be on PC/360 at one point Read this its a good read http://www.edge-online.com/...

[DMason]

Nope, not a PS3 exclusive. Its also coming to PC. And 360 (supposedly) at some point.

Proof: http://www.joystiq.com/2010...

[Esena]

Well, as of now it is exclusive. I mean one of the guys from the company said "Exclusive to PS3" on the PS Blog. If you don't believe him I don't know who to believe.

It may come out in the future on different platforms, but as of now...ps3 exclusive. Do you agree or no?

Edit: And it was 5 days ago that the guy said that. I believe that is the most recent comment on the issue.

[DMason]

Well, maybe timed exclusive. But all companies have to say that, otherwise exclusivity means nothing. But all signs point to it coming to PC.

I love all the disagrees too, for showing factual evidence. In the real world, we call that denial.

[RedPawn]

Pulling off road for overheat, okay time to sideswipe some more friends.

[TiKiMaN1]

Day one purchase.

[Sameh]

I had my eye on this game ever since I watched a trailer for it. Now it gets a 9.5 from IGN? I'm sold.

[aCHU]

is it on the PSN store allready?

[tiamat5]

Don't like ign but nice score. need to buy a PSN card

[Sitris]

Silly IGN haha

[Fishy Fingers]

ESRB had listings for PSN and PC versions, which is rumoured to come later. 360, not sure about. Looks like a great game though.

[Sitris]

Oh yes looks sick, is it releaseing in PAL same time next week?

[Mr Logic]

Well sort of. It's releasing on June 9th for the Pal PS Store update which is on Wednesdays.

[branchedout]

I really hate the gaming industry right now.
I'm in a financial tidbit right now, and they just keep releasing good games.
Even these cheap, $15 games are out of my budget.

Hopin' one of these blasted places I applied to can give me better pay/hours than I have now.

[AK46]

Sorry about your situation. I'm one of those Blue-collar worker who works hard for their money but still living pay-check to pay check, trying to get ahead. Bills,bills, and more bills. What can I say? I feel for ya! I try to limit myself to 1 game a month. If i did buy a 2nd, I will sacrifice another habit too get it.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

on the huge GOW3 blowout show, they gave a world exclusive look of this game... imagine LBP/Mod Nation meets Excitebike...

I've been sold on it since the preview!!!

[Tripl3seis]

This is awesome wen I saw the video on gttv a couple of months ago I was like that's cool I'm getting it now im sold and nice score from ign btw sony ftw!!!!

[Electronicpart]

Cool

[Solbadguy]

Joe Danger and MGS Peace Walker on the same day!

[Sagetech]

Great review score i will definitely be downloading this.I cant help but lol at 4 dudes making a great game on the PS3 when the entirety of Valve claim not not understand it.

[N4BmpS]

Seriously, the guys who made this game are fairly young aas well, if I'm not mistaken.

[Sevir04]

the PS3 is soo hard to develop but one man can make a game like everday shooter, and these 4 gentle man can create something like this and totally outscore Valves latest without as much as a belly ache... awesome for these guys.

[N4BmpS]

I've been wanting this game so bad, it's finally out, it's awesome I know it. Go and get it.

[KillerPwned]

Does anyone know how much this game is gonna be? I really wanna get it on day one.

[skynidas]

15 bucks

[despair]

as I thought this is a must buy...crazy good looking game.

[XactGamer]

It's cool how small PSN or Live Arcade games can be just as good if not better than big budget titles.

[MastermindPS360]

about time last psn game i bought was flower.....thank you sony!

[DORMIN]

DAY ONE BUY for me.

[bjornbear]

I had my eye on this game but i ignored it due to fear of lack of content (like most PSN titles) but this looks like an amazing investment =D
