'Jackass' game much less threatening than TV show
You know, we always enjoyed that Jackass program, but thought it would be much improved without the threat of physical injury. Thankfully, Red Mile Entertainment and MTV Games have heard our prayers. Jackass will appear in game form on the DS, PS2 and PSP on Sept. 24. That information alone is probably enough for you to fill in the blanks, but we'll ruin the suspense. It's a series of 35 minigames featuring the likenesses of some of the show's stars. Some are based on actual stunts from the defunct show and some are ideas that Johnny Knoxville and crew had dreamed up but never performed.
The Hollywood Reporter quotes Knoxville as saying "We just hope that our video game is as crappy as our movies." Well, John, with your game not appearing on any current-gen consoles, we feel fairly confident that our dream of a safer Jackass won't be the only one to be fulfilled.
