Jackass coming to DS

3 Comments

Nothing good can come of this. Not content with plaguing the PSP and PS2, Jackass the Game is on its way to the Nintendo DS sometime this year.

Jackass is a free roaming adventure title that attempts to mimic the TV shows banal stupidity and nauseating stunts like a fifteen old delinquent whose only life goal is to appear as a human fireball on YouTube.

In a gross misjudgement of the appeal of the franchise, we're told you can customise your character with a "near limitless combination of customizable items and outfits." Clearly there's the appeal for the DS audience right there.

You can also raise your characters attributes like a RPG levelling system and battle your friends in a multiplayer mode. If you have any, that is. Which you won't obviously, if this is the sort of thing you waste your money on.

If that doesn't paint you a mental picture, then check out the screenshots that show off the quality of writing in the game. Our favourite is a tie between the farmer guy who asks you to eat crap and the chap in the helmet who appears frozen in mid sentence, presumably because he's too stupid to remember what he was trying to say.

"Everyone's favorite group of 'asses' are back," reads the official release. They're right about one part of it, anyway.
