Jackass: The Game coming to PSP, DS, and PS2 - Image 1You are all familiar with how the TV series Jackass goes: Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, and the rest of the gang perform awe-inspiring stunts while making themselves look downright stupid. Now, you shouldn't expect anything less from the upcoming title Jackass: The Game.

The video game is being developed by Sidhe Interactive and will be published by Empire Interactive with the help of MTV Games' Red Mile Entertainment. The group of Knoxville also talked with the developers to help bring some stunts that they've thought of using before but never really made it in either the show or the film. Johnny Knoxville commented,

It is kind of odd that people will take on our personas and depressing that they're going to have to do that. We've never really worked on anything like this before. This is our first video game. We just hope that our video game is as crappy as our movies.


Aside from the already announced PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PlayStation 2 (PS2) versions, Red Mile Entertainment mentioned that a DS version of the title will also be released alongside the other two on September 24. Senior Director Sales and Marketing at Red Mile Henry Price uttered,

Most of what we have in the game are extreme versions of the original stunts. These stunts are set up like mini games, which provides a great deal of diversity in the gameplay. We have the luxury of throwing characters off a 50-story building into a pile of elephant dung without worrying about our insurance rates.


Speaking of which, there will be a total of 35 stunts including bumper car races across New York rooftops, uni-cycling though a construction site, rolling down San Francisco streets in a trash can, and destroying a golf course with a golf car. True to the TV show, stunts will not always go as planned.


Players will always have the option to "Bail Out" which will throw the character into a ragdoll position and tallies up the resulting injuries. Take note that you are playing Jackass, meaning higher scores will be given as more punishments are inflicted upon the characters.

Jackass + ragdoll physics = a good thing. This could be very cool.
