Starting to become known as "The next Trials HD", Joe Danger has captured the attention of gamers new and old worldwide. With the Indie games starting to become immensely popular throughout the gaming industry, the point of focus for the end and the beginning of a near year has been this game.
Firstly, I'd like to point out that Hello Games is a very unknown gaming production company, but we'll get to that later. What you'll first notice from the game is the simplistic stylings of choices: Story, Arcade, Sandbox, the options are all bare in front of you in a very classic style of stunt shows, with bike, trailer and trophies all out on display. Secondly, the loading times on the game are extremely fast, due to the low MB storage the game has. For a 1.2GB download, the game is quite low on graphics, musical score and voice acting, but they have been polished to a near HD rating.
Each different map gives a different challenges, sneaky little road spikes cleverly hidden behind objects in your way to hidden items to collect.
The main objective is easy; make a comeback from a horrible injury from some time ago. The objective is to spread the return of you, Joe Danger, back onto the stunt scene. Collecting stars and hidden items will bost your carrer and send you into bigger, more fan filled arenas.
What really sets this game apart is this; as I mentioned before, Hello Games is a Indie gaming company and barely known within the community. Hello Games is made up of FOUR people. While Microsoft Studios dotted I's and crossed T's, the four main creators of Hello Games are the creators of Joe Danger. This is an astonishing discovery as very few games made by such small companies are barely ever popular (Dead Samurai and Bastion being the acception) and never make it off the ground.
If you're looking for an Arcade title that will have you laughing at a monkey (an unlockable skin for JD) giving a cheeky smile while flipping through the air, a game that has a long campaign, or even something to give you a challenge here and there, Joe Danger is definitely worthy of your time.
