I wonder why they did separate quick looks for this?

Apparently, it's a special edition.

I'm not a big fan of Joe Danger, but I can see that it's a well-made game with a ton of content. If you liked Trials HD, you'll probably like Joe Danger.

I wonder if this has the infinite boost fly glitch that I found in the first one where you, with some timing, could keep doing flips in the air whole tapping boost once per flip at the right moment to get more forward momentum. You could spend the entire level in the air with incredible speed, unless there was a road block, which magically also works in the air.

I completed Trials HD but it was more frustration than fun. This looks like it's all fun. Probably buying it later.

This is not Trials HD. Trials HD is great and so is this, but they're different. Joe Danger is more of a platformer with almost constant forward momentum. Which is super cool.

Game seems fun, but tbh my favourite thing in this video was the Tea Rex billboard in the background.

I'm a sucker for stupid puns. And for dinosaurs wearing bowler hats.

This game is a ton of fun, the level editor alone validates the price of admission.

Is the production team experimenting with compression parameters at the moment? Maybe trying to get a good trade-off between quality and bandwidth?

I noticed the Trine 2 video was running at 60FPS--in the HD download at least--and it looked amazing. The HD download of Joe Danger here is running at 25FPS and is really noticeable. I've always been a stickler for framerate, so I'm sure it isn't that big of a deal for most people, but if it's a case of "does anyone notice," then there's at least one guy here who does.

Those “bombs with faces” look kind of like ChuChus (from Wind Waker).

Such a great game.

But the XBOX version gets 1 point taken off for the lack of catchy/annoying XMB theme music.

Fun game, tip on the editor though, there's a red coin that's used in the early campaign that will turn on any golden coins in the level.

I actually like Joe Danger, but think Trials sucks all the fun out of this type of gameplay. Probably because I played a lot of Motocross Maniacs.
