    This game is utterly fantastic. It's what games should be, fun and irreverent but with proper core game mechanics for the true gamer keep you going back for more. If you liked trials you should get this, itâ

    Oh Joe, how I have screamed at you! With elements of Trials, Excite bike, SSX and Tony Hawks this really is a candy coloured treat! You will be glued to that leader board and you will curse Joe... a lot!

    Fantastic game - This is game has the fun elements of excitebike, the stunts and physics of Trials HD with touches of classic mario bros/Sonic the Hedgehog style of 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 wantFantastic game - This is game has the fun elements of excitebike, the stunts and physics of Trials HD with touches of classic mario bros/Sonic the Hedgehog style of fun.

    @ThePizzaman100 You're an idiot for bashing this game and then giving it a 10. @randomreview You're just and idiot.
    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%.

    Joe Danger Special Edition is lying in its title... It is not special but instead the usual "This is going to be ok for a month" arcade game. There are some fun elements to it but overall it is the same boring rubbish that we expect this time of year from someone trying to make a quick buck. If you want a brilliant bike game play Trials, not this waste of money!!!

    This game is a lot of fun, but I still wouldn't recommend it for 1200 points. 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.

Otherwise I would recommend waiting, until download of the week.… Expand

    Joe Danger's mechanics , level design and controlls are masterfully executed to the point where it feels like something nintendo made during its golden age instead of being an indie game developed by 4 people.

    L'indé du jour est en 2D et demi et affiche peut-être bien une centaine de couleurs (il faudrait les compter pour être sûr), ce qui le place au-dessus des étrons habituels dont le genre indé est si coutumier (entre 2 et 16 couleurs en moyenne).

    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

    It's a brighter, more entertaining version of Trials HD, and a game that you simply need to download. [Issue #81, p.102]

    A great arcade game with the perfectly right fun to challenge ratio. If you belong to the fans of Trials HD or to the little old Excitebike and you still don't have your own Joe Danger copy, then there's something wrong with you.
