    Brilliantly charming and consistently entertaining, it's a true XBLA classic.

    The game mirrors its hero: classic and old fashioned, but still boasting the skills to amaze us. Joe Danger constantly surprises and delights. The clever level design encourages return visits to look for all the hidden goodies, much like a Mario platformer does. It's a joy ride.

    It's crazy and funny. If you haven't had the pleasure of playing Joe the first time on PSN, this version is a must buy.

    Although we expected more new features in this Xbox version, the crazy moto racer has conquered us again. A simple game with great gameplay that will make the player have fun for hours.

    As much as we like both of the European-developed $15 stunt racers, Joe Danger: Special Edition managed to interest us just a bit more. Both games are fine-tuned to near-perfection, but Joe Danger has slightly more going on under its hood thanks to new gameplay additions and more interesting objectives. It's also got a nicer paintjob and sound system (read: better visuals and audio), so we have to give the duke to Danger this time around.

    A cheerier, more versatile alternative to Trials HD, whose Special Edition manages to make trial-and-error and constant repetition even more fun.

I don't think I've ever cursed at a game more than Trials HD (that game is fantastic, but frustratingly difficult in a very good way)...this game is far more forgiving than Trials, yet can be as challenging as you want it to be. Great game all around a must play for anyone who has enjoyed any of the games mentioned above.… Expand

    This is a great game, but not for everyone so give the trial a shot before you purchase. And this is coming from someone who has completed Trials 100%.    … Expand

While I write this it's on offer for 600, if that was it's permanent price I'd give it a 9/10. The game has solid game play and and quite a bit of replay value. But the majority of people will only get around 10-15 hours until they get too bored to play any longer. Achievements 8/10 Challenging achievements but do able, the online ones can be done with a different profile. So yeah I'd only get it at 1200 if you loved games like trials. Otherwise I would recommend waiting, until download of the week.… Expand

    Il s'agit d'un jeu de plate-forme avec le petit bonhomme sur sa moto qui saute comme un mariol(e) moustachu mais sans moustache pour récupérer des conneries de petites étoiles à la mords-moi-le-noeud. C'est à la fois tellement niais, bête et simplet que la manette nous tombe des mains, littéralement.

    Répétitif et idiot, affublé d'une musique imbécile et de menus criards, Joe Danger est un danger non seulement pour le petit monde des jeux vidéo mais aussi pour lui-même... ah attendez, je crois qu'il a sauté et terminé directement sa dernière cascade dans la poubelle.    … Expand
