Joe Danger 2: The Movie

 

Ugh. Write enough reviews and you’ll just feel like you’re repeating yourself. Okay, let’s get to…

 

When I put this game into Tier 3, I wasn’t surprised. What surprised me was the genre of the game. Even then, it only took four minutes to figure the game out. Four minutes to identify this as a very pretty but very dumb game. I expected this to be a game where you got to play with hundreds of pieces, where you built your own movie set and tried to hit certain requirements or goals. I imagined it was going to be like “This bomb must explode, but it must do so in midair while being carried by this paper airplane,” and then you had to build the scene or something. And possibly got bonus points if you used 5 ducks in it somehow. No, I was actually disappointed to find that this is just 2D vehicle stunt game; you know, the same kinds you can find a dime-a-million-dozen on Kongregate, Newgrounds and any cell phone game provider’s service.

 

 

Why do I have this? Same reason I have a lot of my crappy games. Humble Bundles (of which I have stopped purchasing for such a reason). Does this game look smooth? Sure. Does run well? Yes. Are you a sad life form if you play this and draw meaning in your life from it? Maybe. Or maybe you’re just desperately bored. I don’t know. What I do know is that instead of playing this game, I’d much rather just be given a matchbox car, a set of track pieces and children’s blocks. At least then I could actually smash real structures instead of fake ones. Probably get a lot of my pent up anger out from reviewing these kinds of games too.
