I cannot recommend Joe Danger to the average gamer, as I can only recommend it to experts at bike games due its huge downsides: -Collecting is required for level/stage advancement, not just obtaining scores for trophies. It'd be one thing if a "star" required to unlock levels were like "collect 40 of 50 specific things", but its more like "collect all 50 things" which turns this game into a tedious challenge once …

I purchased this game for my son. I read some reviews and watched the gameplay videos and figured that the game would be appropriate for a 6 year old. While the game is more than satisfactory for my son it is also hours upon hours of fun for myself. I play a lot of FPS, flight sim, and TF2. Most of these games have excellent gameplay with great graphics and serious story lines. This game was a fun and lighthearted …

This game is a lot of fun. Think Excitebike, in terms of how it plays. Basically, you’re attempting to reach the finish line, while racking up as much points as you can, and completing as many objectives as you can. Because there’s three lanes on (almost) every track, there’s always an objective or two (or more) that you can’t get in one go, so there’s always an incentive to go back and replay the level. Perhaps I …

2024 and this 11 year old game is still amazing. Looks great on track (It's 4k hi def, some menus are lower res but in game it's great), Sounds great - catchy game music and announcer fits the theme really well. Plays silky smooth like it was just made. Performing stunts, manoeuvring etc is just so well done. This is a triumph of arcade action that is highly recommended. (One tip for 120+ fps set ups is limit the …

Joe Danger reminds me of the NES days of Excitebike, mixed with the modern Stuntman series. It's a simple lighthearted game that follows Joe Danger through his stuntman career with levels slowly increasing in difficulty. At its core it's a simple game: Drive through courses gaining score by doing tricks and completing objectives. The game throws a lot of obstacles at you however, and it can be quite a challenge …

Players who liked Joe Danger talk about fun and addictive arcade gameplay; those who didn't talk about fPS issues tied to game speed on modern hardware. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The single-player gameplay mode of Joe Danger was generally well received by critics. The game's accessibility was a source of praise; according to Eric Neigher of 1UP.com, it allows for "five-minute sprints" of gameplay, although more in-depth options take up more time. IGN's Daemon Hatfield compared the game favourably to Nintendo Entertainment System launch title Excitebike, and said that Joe Danger felt like a Nintendo game. Other critics focused on similarities to Super Mario Bros., such as non-linear level progression (the ability to play levels in any order, providing that the player has earned enough stars to "unlock" the level), the encouragement to play through multiple times to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has it all. It's got fun gameplay for both single player and multiplayer (couch co-op) and a whole lot of laughs. You take on the role of Joe Danger who goes through crazy obstacle courses over close to a dozen different worlds with multiple levels in each world. The amount of races is beyond what is expected of a game who doesn't rehash the maps and just to a mirror version of them. These are unique maps on each level. Each level offers a variety of achievements that you can get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →im glad scott the woz mentioned this game, we need more people in the joe danger fanbase. Id played this years back on my ps3, but finding out when I bought no mans sky that hello games made a jump from funny man on bike explodes to infinite space exploration I had to buy both games even if it meant buying joe danger again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i promise you this game is not worth buying i may have got gifted this but after playing this i tried to do it in real life, traumatic i cant even move my body im in A WHEELCHAIR and can not even eat solid foods. Buy this game if you only want to eat apple sauce for your whole life.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has FPS issues for modern hardware as the in-game speed is tied to FPS. if you wanna manually change your refresh settings to locked 60 FPS using your GPU program every time you wanna play the game go for it, if not enjoy the 30 FPS locked in-game setting or you get stuck with the insanely fast speed the game will run at, or just get a 60hz monitor I suppose. I loved this game as a kid as this was the game I knew Hello Games for before they ever even announced No Man Sky, but honestly,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Funny and greatly addicting Aracde game that starts off fairly easy and then quickly becomes quite challenging, especially if you are aiming for ggetting all medals of all tracks. Highly recommended as it is easy to pick up and play but not too easy to master!!

In that, select "Change high DPI settings". On the new window, ENABLE "Use this setting to fix scaling problems" and ENABLE "Override high DPI scaling behavior performed by ... APPLICATION". Done! Game is similar to the "Trials" series (side scrolling stunt racing) but this…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I highly recommend this 2.5D platform stunt/bike racing game for hardcore achievements hunters. It has many normal/hard challenges but the last 2 levels are quite difficult. I was stuck for hours there until I've earned 100%.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, like Trials HD but funnier and quicker. Increadable amount of levels and content! Get it now while it's 40% off with Joe Danger 2 - The Movie (Which is even bigger!) I would strongly suggest using a controller though it is still playable on keyboard
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game doesn't support 1920 by 1080 moniter resolution. By far the most common resolution size in the world. It also seems to run at the speed of light on a modern computer rendering it completely unplayable. I bought this because I love hello games for NMS. So mission accomplished for me. I did think I could give it a shot for lulz, which is disappointing.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even if I love the devs, I cannot recommend the Joe Danger games...it all seems too chaotic and too fast with so very little time to comprehend what is happening. Is this the Dark Souls of a sidescrolling bike trick game? Because it sure as hell feels like that...You also gotta go through everything to progress in any way which is tedious. Don't get me wrong, I love a good starting story but this game I just can't like at all...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried playing this with friends and none of us could figure out what the point of the game is. Is it a race? Sort of, but not really. There isn't much racing going on, and the racing itself isn't very interesting. Nor are the tricks or the collecting. Frankly, I just can't find the point of it. I can't tell my friends what the objective is because I just can't figure it out. I get to the end of the level and move on to the next, but I didn't do much of anything to get there and the next level…

Managed to get it running setting the resolution to 1600x1024 even though my screen is 2560x1600... And to get it to run at a speed slower than The Flash, A-Train and Sonic the bloody Hedgehog's threeway lovechild, I had to set a 60fps limit in NVIDIA Control Panel. Bit annoying having to change that back every time but I hope this helps someone at…

It also felt more manageable to collect the various stars needed to progress through the game. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

It's tons of fun although towards the end it gets pretty challenging but in a very satisfying, fun way, specially if you enjoy the mix of memorization and practice these games require.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic game and just as much fun as it was a decade ago when I completed it on iOS. In that version, reaching 100% displayed a "secret" email address to write to for celebrating being part of the "100% Club". I still cherish the individual response that Sean Murray sent out to that, and it's exemplary of the kind of passion that Hello Games has for what they create.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just garbage
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Joe Danger is a 2d platform racing / stunt game. This is really a nice game to play alone of with your friends. It's has a very basic controls to learn and so easy to pick up for gamers and non-gamers. You will have many tracks to race and stunt your way though. Every levels have his own goals like collecting start, beat the time or try to beat the high score of the stage. So the replay level on every stage is high so you will not drive to the game in 1 run. And the score board for world wide…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Joe Danger, developed and published by Hello Games, is an exuberant fusion of racing, platforming, and stunt performance that captures the essence of arcade fun while offering surprising depth beneath its colorful exterior. First released on consoles before making its way to PC via Steam, the game introduces players to the world of Joe Danger—a fearless stuntman determined to reclaim his former glory. The premise is lighthearted, but the execution is remarkably refined, blending tight controls,…

More light hearted and cartoony, with a catchy soundtrack and slightly more forgiving mechanics. 7/10 if you're into harder games, I picked it up surprisingly cheap on deal under £1, which is a steal really. Achievements - nothing missable, a couple of online ones that you actually don't need other players for, they pop if you do it solo. 10-15 hours for the 100%. Note: you don't need to collect the PRO medals to 100% the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looking at Steam Charts it doesn't look like Joe even had a ~significant~ bump after NMS's release in August 2016. It might seem obvious that the conversion % is low given Joe Danger is such a different game/genre, but given NMS's ENORMOUS PLAYERBASE I figured it'd be a bigger bump.
