Jackass: The Game (PSP, DS, PS2) sure is as weird and as fun as the TV show. And if you thought it's not going to get any weirder, then you are dead wrong. The producer of the video game title, Aaron Rigby, recently came up with interview questions regarding the game for... himself.

Now, that's something different but don't let the eccentricity put you off as the questions as well as the answers provided are quite informative. According to Rigby, the concept for the game was born because of the original series and they aimed to come up with stunts as crazy and as creative as the ones in the show.

The producer then mentioned that both the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2 versions will have multiplayer elements. The handheld build, needless to say, will utilize the WiFi features for the said mode. Rigby then went on and talked about editing and exporting replays for Jackass on PSP:

Basically, you play a stunt, save the replay, head over to Director mode and edits things like length, camera angels, add slo-mo, then export the stunt to your memory stick. Once it's exported, you can upload the stunt too and show off your mad skills.

Lastly, Aaron Rigby asked Aaron Rigby (that really is weird) whether he thinks the game is going to be a success or not. According to him, the whole Jackass experience is different from all the others because it is not based on accomplishing goals but on having fun. He explained:

Jackass doesn't work like that. The stunts in the show were just as good whether they accomplished what they set out to do or failed completely. That means that our goals in a stunt had to make sure that an entertaining failure worked just as well as a resounding success.

Instead of listing down the qualities Jackass: The Game lacks (such as good taste, har-har), we should focus on the many things Jackass does have in spades. Below is a short list of wonderful things Sidhe Interactive's Jackass game possesses in spades:

1. People getting hit in the head by plastic bats.
2. Golf balls to the crotch.
3. A guy in his briefs, dancing in a store.
4. Someone getting rolled down a hill in a trash can.
5. Shopping cart racing.
6. A half-naked unicyclist.
7. Painful rag-doll physics.

The funny thing is, you'll get to see all of that in under a minute with the trailer below. Guess what would happen if you spent 30 minutes playing the game. Exactly: more insane action than you can possibly handle. Enjoy the video folks!

In case you want to know, and we're pretty sure you want to know, MTV Games and Red Mile Entertainment just opened the site of their upcoming title Jackass: The Game. This renegade title based form the similarly renegade TV series will be released on September 24 for the PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2 (PS2), and Nintendo DS.

The official website features different sections for News, Videos, Gallery, Forums, as well as a Game Overview section for those not familiar with the title. Speaking of which, Jackass: The Game will feature around 35 stunts that include uni-cycling through a construction site, rolling down San Fran's streets in a trash can, and bumper car races across New York among others.

"For years on Jackass, we stressed 'do not try the stunts we do at home', but with our new Jackass video game, you can now try our stunts at home but only while playing the video game - you little juvenile delinquents," commented MTV's Jackass star Johnny Knoxville.

A few more details for the PSP version of Sidhe Interactive and Empire Interactive's Jackass: The Game have surfaced via a recent press release from Red Mile Entertainment and MTV Games.

The game features quite a lot of cool stuff: more than 35 scenarios, detailed ragdoll modelling, dynamic physics and a detailed in-game injury system that keeps track of the amount of punishment players inflict upon the game's characters.

The PSP version will also feature unlockable footage from the Jackass TV series. There's also a replay engine that will allow players to save and edit their very own Jackass moments. These replays and clips can then be shared with other players through the PSP's wireless connection feature.

Since this is from a press release (which are known for being riddled with quotes and the like), let's end this post with a quote from Johnny Knoxville:

For years on Jackass, we stressed 'do not try the stunts we do at home'. But with our new Jackass video game, you can now try our stunts at home ... but only while playing the video game -- you little juvenile delinquents!

Jackass: The Game is currently slated for a September 24 release.

You 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.

Back in November 2006, we informed you that video game developer Sidhe Interactive is bringing MTV's popular show Jackass to the PlayStation Portable (PSP) platform in the form of Jackass: The Game.

Since then, nothing's been heard about the game... until today. Empire Interactive just announced that it will be taking care of the game's publishing reins. If we are not mistaken, this is actually one of the few major announcements from Empire ever since it acquired technology firm Silverstar late last year.

Aside from the PSP version, Jackass: The Game will also be appearing on the PlayStation (PS2) platform and other versions will also be announced in the coming weeks. Furthermore, the PSP and PS2 versions of the title will be released this coming September as a full game.

This will coincide with MTV Europe's promotional events and materials (Jackass DVD) for the TV show. Empire CEO Ian Higgins commented,

We're really pleased with the deal. It shows that we're very much back in business. The genesis of the deal was two of our new directors, Joe Abrams and Geoff Heath, talking to the U.S. publisher and developer. We got involved from here by putting a string marketing campaign together for them.

Speaking of which, Empire Interactive is really going all-out for Jackass: The Game as a multimedia marketing campaign is being planned. Higgins added that he believes that this is their biggest title for some time in Europe and that, Jackass: The Game, has the potential to top the charts.

Johnny Knoxville and the gang are set to make a ruckus over at your PSP. Being developed by Sidhe Interactive, Jackass: The Game will feature Online Play via Infrastructure Mode, Game Share Multiplayer, as well as Downloadable Content.

From whatever little info is known about this game, what is certain is that it will be just as wacky and crazy as the TV series. We may also very well expect it to have a Mature rating from the ESRB given that their pranks are not exactly what you'd say wholesome, or for the family.

Anyway, this game's good for as much as up to four players, so we're sure you're gonna enjoy catching your peers with their pants down in this game. It's set to be out both in Europe and Australia by December 31 of next year. No date is set as of yet for the U.S. release.

Keep it posted here for more updates. Meanwhile enjoy these screenshots.

More screenshots of the gang at their best after the jump!
