On the control end, it is shocking that they didn't get it right. To put it bluntly, it was more than I expected, which is always a plus. They took their time, the animations for each specific stunt look decent, and when you bail out your limp body tumbles all over the place like a rag doll. Sure the Playstation 2 may be headed to ever expanding console grave, but the guys behind this project did not just throw this game out there. Graphics wise it does not fair all that bad the Jackass crew looks a lot like their real life counterparts, and there are some decent cut scenes added to the mix. The gameplay department did not exactly thrill, so what positives could the rest of the game possibly possess? The last option is Challenge Mode, or single player without the story, where you play all the stunts from the main game in an attempt to earn even more cash to unlock a multitude of things from the Jackass Store. Multi should be taken lightly because it shakes down to you and a couple of friends switching off, partaking in challenges one at a time. It literally is about a 4-5 hour game, with a couple of multiplayer modes mixed in. Thus although this game is short, it gets old long before the final credits roll. For a game that boasts roughly 35 mini-games, there are about 15 that are original in some way. The names of the games may change but the gameplay really does not.

With the nonexistent story fallen to the wayside, you hop right into your favorite character from the series (you start with four and unlock several more as the game progresses) and begin to experience what amounts to be nothing more then a collection of button mashing contests and a series of whacked out races where you steer anything from a lawnmower to a human snowball. Whereas the show was funny in a sick kind of way, the game is a simplistic bore. It has that nonsensical feel that the show embraced, unfortunately that is about all they share. This game is stupid, and in a sense it is supposed to be. Although your expectations should not be high when you see that the names of the games you are participating in range from Elephant Poo Dive to San Fran Trash Can. That is the game in a nutshell there is not a lot to it. Throughout these stunts there are multiple challenges to complete to receive bonus money. The whole objective is to play each of the five stunts in the episode and earn enough cash to move on. Much like the show, Jackass: The Game is several episodes comprised of multiple stunts. Whether you were a fan or not, you are probably familiar with the insane shenanigans that this group of guys performed for years on end, and suffice to say it was probably better to leave their ridiculous brand of humor out of the gaming world. Although they can hardly be considered pop culture icons, the boys from Jackass still left an indelible mark on television.
