About as much fun as getting kicked in the... Well, you know what I mean

Although they can hardly be considered pop culture icons, the boys from Jackass still left an indelible mark on television. Whether you were a fan or not, you are probably familiar with the insane shenanigans that this group of guys performed for years on end, and suffice to say it was probably better to leave their ridiculous brand of humor out of the gaming world.
With the nonexistent story fallen to the wayside, you hop right into your favorite character from the series (you start with four and unlock several more as the game progresses) and begin to experience what amounts to be nothing more then a collection of button mashing contests and a series of whacked out races where you steer anything from a lawnmower to a human snowball. The names of the games may change but the gameplay really does not. For a game that boasts roughly 35 mini-games, there are about 15 that are original in some way. Thus although this game is short, it gets old long before the final credits roll. It literally is about a 4-5 hour game, with a couple of multiplayer modes mixed in. Multi should be taken lightly because it shakes down to you and a couple of friends switching off, partaking in challenges one at a time. The last option is Challenge Mode, or single player without the story, where you play all the stunts from the main game in an attempt to earn even more cash to unlock a multitude of things from the Jackass Store. The gameplay department did not exactly thrill, so what positives could the rest of the game possibly possess?
Clown your way through seven different episodes with over 30 different mini-games in order to unlock movies and games for challenge mode.
Choose from Knoxville, Dunn, Steve-O, Dave England and many more of your favorites to perform all the ridiculous stunts.
Enjoy the mayhem with your friends in the three different multiplayer modes including round robin, random round robin, and ass-to-ass.
Play challenge mode to earn extra cash to buy movies, photos, and additional goodies for all the games in the Jackass store.
Bail out of stunts early to witness hellacious bone breaks to earn extra cash for each challenge.
