It doesn't have the addictive punishment of Trials (not yet at least) but it's fun in its own way.

As someone who struggled with Tony Hawk, I have to say this is a lot more straightforward...at least so far.mrklaw said:
One of the goals on some tracks is to do 100% combos all the way through. That would be impossible (for me) with Hawk, but I can pull it off seamlessly in this game after only a couple of tries.

Considering the penny-ante cost of this title, if you're at all interested in racing, platformers, or fun generally, you'd be crazy not to give Joe Danger a try.

Very enjoyable game, but I don't like how level sharing is handled. I'm not talking about the lack of a central server for levels (even though that would of course have been nice), but the fact that levels that get sent to you can only be accessed by adding them to one of your own user level "slots". There doesn't seem to be any distinction between levels you have created yourself and ones you've been sent by others, and you can't see who has created which level. I'd like a seperate listing for received levels, the way it works now seems very unstructured.

:lol This game wasn't even tested, that's the funny part. 4 people indeed!
You know what I'll mean when you get to that stage for speed run + hit all spots.

Do you use both index fingers and middle fingers for bumper & trigger buttons or only index fingers?
I wish hardware makers switch the positions of the bumper buttons and the trigger buttons.
That has been my biggest problem! It feels so odd to use index/middle, but you almost need to in order to get the most "bang for your buck," score wise...

Judging from this thread I'll be buying this game as soon as the store's back up. Sounds amazing.

So, I'm making this awesome level, and... there's no way to set checkpoints? That means everyone who plays my level will have to start over from the beginning if they die. Since I have designed several devilish segments, that's gonna make the level pretty annoying to play. It's also a bit weird how some other stuff is missing from the editor, such as the D-A-N-G-E-R letters (mini-stars, targets and coins are there).
And like I said earlier, I don't really like how shared levels are handled (there's no distinction made between your own levels and levels sent to you - the latter are just added to your created levels, with nothing to tell them apart from your own).
I guess you can't expect too much from a tiny dev team like this (and they have certainly made an amazingly entertaining game), but when it comes to the editor there are a few really serious flaws that I hope they can take care of through patching.

:lol So I just beat the game (85%, maxed everything) and
. Why did they even bother calling it that? Just call it "terribly designed stages" because I'm noticing sloppy work from them compared to the normal ones.
Edit: 1 hour later edit... FINALLY beat the stage :lol 90%... progression is slow now.
Edit: 3 hour later edit... final stage (96%) is ridiculous. In a bad way. Definitely a score lower since it doesn't make any logical sense whatsoever without checkpoint.
Edit: Attempt 268... haha, why am I even playing this anymore? I'm not having fun so I should just quit. But at 97%? Really?
Edit: I just noticed, my L2 and R2 are not working as they should anymore. Thanks for letting us drive with sensitive triggers!
Final edit: Finally, 100%... it took me from 1pm to 10am (21 hours non-stop)...
Final impressions: It's a fun little game, nothing amazing though. It's good. I wouldn't say it was worth 15 bucks, it should've been 10. Then again, I haven't played with a friend yet so (why would I? The framerate goes below 30...).
5/10

Contradictory post is contradictory. $15 for 21 HOURS of entertainment is suddenly 5/10?
Ok.

Because you don't just pay normal price for a MMO, you pay a subscription fee. So it's in a different league. What is true for most MMOs though is that you get lots of enjoyment out of it per buck compared to someone that plays all kinds of new releases and jumps from game to game. The same with a person that exclusively plays Fifa 10 or Modern Warfare 2
I echo the sentiment of McBradders... Reading about playing a game for 21 hours and then saying it's bad. I mean really?
How can you play a game that long when you dislike it, I do not get it.

Oh, I missed this comment from one of the devs:

Sounds good. Maybe these new features will fix some of my issues with the level editor.

Loving this game so much, it is starting to hurt. Mainly my hands from clamping the controller too tight.
Awesome game.

Picked it up late last night and lost much sleep. Very fun game indeed.
So this sounds like this isn't really a good split screen title for me to play with my wife, huh? I mean she's pretty good at games, but I don't see her enjoying a game that requires tons of crazy control work. Although she doesn't mind re-trying the same level 100 times.
Can you play through the content in split screen? Or can you just play unlocked levels. Basically I want a split screen game you can progress through in split screen. None of this mario kart / modnation crap where you can either progress in single player or just jack off in split screen.

Each "sub-level" (1-1, 1-2, etc) is simply a smaller part of the level. You have to edit them individually (probably because there's a limit on how many objects the game engine can handle in one section of the track), but when you play the level they are seamlessly strung together into one long track.
The finish line is automatically placed after the last item on the last sub-level slot you've used for that level.
What I don't get is why there are only 10 slots for levels (which are shared between your own levels and ones that get sent to you, since there's no distinction made between them). Just let me use as much of my HDD space as I want.
Related question (which I've already asked, but not gotten answered): Has anyone figured out if (and if so, how) you can place mid-level checkpoints in your tracks? I haven't found a way to do this, which means my entire level (it's getting pretty long, and there are many places to die) has to be completed in one go. Not good for when I want someone else to try it out.
