LINK- JOE DANGER

Just curious if anyone has played it. I wanna know how this game is through a Trials fans eyes.

Haven't played it, It seems like a well made game but the utter lack of physics make it totally uninteresting to me. Also, the game's looks are not very appealing, it looks like a game that would fit best on the Wii, since it looks and feels like a kid's game.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!

I usually like all sorts of games but this one IMHO is horrendous! The cartoon look is not that big of a deal, but the game itself is meh!

Controls are bad since you use the R2 and L2 For going forward and backwards and then you use L1 and R1 for doing tricks, so in essence you have to play with ALL SHOULDER BUTTONS all the time.

Gameplay is pretty sad it doesn't really emphasize on speed and tech just tricks. For example you hit a spring while going full speed you let go of the R2 and he goes straight up. If you hit L2 he springs backwards. This is where things get odd. Lets say you want to go forward and finish the track and you want to do skills to get the star at the end you have to hold down R2 and when you are in the air tap L1 R1 hold L1 as an example WHILE still holding R2.

You can't change characters and multiplayer is just split screen which sucks since online would have been fun for this type of game.

Oh and you share tracks by spamming your friends list that is how I got one trophy and my friedns are like wtf is this hahaha.

My kid didn't even like it

I like Joe Danger.

Joe Danger cannot be directly compared to Trials HD. It's more like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater mixed with Sonic. The game is all about mashing very high score combos. It's not about getting to the finish line or improving your time like Trials HD is. It's a completely different game.

You basically have to 100% combo all levels to get any decent score, and that means you have to spam a lot of buttons in air and jump all the time and wheelie whenever you cannot jump... fortunately it's almost impossible to crash while doing a wheelie (just hold down back or forward) and you can land almost in any angle without crashing. And you can move forwards and backwards in air just like in Mario. There is no real physics at all. All tricks are just animations, and triggered by different pad buttons. Just like in Tony Hawk, you crash if a trick animation hasn't ended before you land.

The game is aimed for more casual audiences than Trials HD. It's very easy to get into, as long as you remember all the button actions. It took me a while to learn them all and use them all during the action (the gameplay is much more hectic compared to Trials HD).

Graphics is OK, but not as good as in Little Big Planet for example. Especially the shadows look really blocky. The frame rate is 60 most of the time, but sometimes the game lags and shutters a bit (when you use afterburner and at the same time lots of other effects are in the screen).

The user track creation is very simple, and you only have total of 10 slots to save your and your friend's tracks. I wonder how many complaints we would have received if we had only 10 track limit instead of 200 per device
