60 of 187 · most liked firstThis game is not bad. It feels like ExciteBike at times, and in good, good ways. The controls are good (keyboard at least) and the feel of controlling is pretty much right-on. The style, graphics, and general components of making a game come alive are all there. But there's one big no-go for me, which is the presentation. The concept is fine. A bit dull, but fine. However, there are insufferable cut scenes that are neither helpful nor entertaining, that cannot be skipped. These go on for far,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had potential and great idea. Maybe it's just me, but I feel everything in it is too chaotic. Looks like developers wanted to distracts player at all cost... explosions and flying objects are everywhere! It should be possible to give neutral rating here on Steam because I am sure that some people will enjoy this title. Game is not so bad at all.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's a glorified runner with what amounts to a Quick Time Events-based gameplay. So if you're into that (and why would you be?) i guess this game is for you. I would still recommend this even with its fundamental flaw, based solely on its charming aesthetics. The name of the levels are punny if not satirical. and the different vehicles and collectibles keeps the gameplay interesting enough to keep you playing the game, at least until you don't have nearly enough stars to unlock the next…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AN OPEN LETTER TO HELLO GAMES Please fix the linux version so that I can play the whole game including the snowy levels, with sound, on the Steam Deck. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for you time. Sincerely, The Entire Steam Deck / Joe Danger 2 Venn Diagram PS The day this game does what it says on the tin, on my Deck, this review goes positive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just as good as I remembered it on the 360. DOES NOT WORK ON STEAM DECK THOUGH JUST CRASHES EVERY TIME YOU FINISH THE FIRST LEVEL. SHOULD NOT BE VERIFIED.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This dev can't be bothered to test their games for PC. Avoid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably my favorite sidescrolling runner game. The stuntman setting is cute and funny, and it allows you to explore a bunch of different enviroments by going through various "movie sets". There's a good amount of variety in the missions you do; like the classic Trials style single track courses, to multi-track courses, there are even jetpack courses where instead of riding something, you fly a jetpack! The missions are challenging enough to not be too hard/easy, and there's always the bonus…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Joe Danger 2 feels more coherent and varied than its predecessor. Where the first seemed like a loosely connected set of tracks, this one found the identity the previous game lacked. It’s as immediately fun too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Joe Danger 2: The Movie (2013) Do you love rage games? Do you love it when a game makes your blood boil? Do you love crappy movies with no budgets? Then this is the game for you! The idea of the game is nice but bloody hell there is soooo much bs this game throws at you. If you want Dark Souls as a side scroll game then you will love this one. I also don't get it why you have to sit and wait 5 seconds for your lifeless corpse to roll down the hill when you get hit by anything. There is also…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like repetitive gameplay, this is for you. The various reskins, lack of variety, and tedious gameplay (which is quite easy) will please you. Again, if you like dull gameplay, I can't recommend this enough. EDIT: It does get harder, but it still lacks some variety. It just feels very basic. The presentation is also terrible. If it were a game where gameplay were the focus I can see this being a worthy title, as it is a good sidescrolling runner, but its presentation is disgusting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite being verified, as of 7/20/23 this does not actually work on Steam Deck. This game crashes every time once you reach Act 2, and no other Proton compatibility layers fix it. If the game is fixed, please drop a comment below and I'll check it out, and if it works, I'll delete this review.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A quirky and oddly compelling score attack/Leaderboarding Racing game. Controls are tight and responsive, and Mission objective vary from every set, to almost every level. Also the music is great. Bought it on Soundtrack. Be warned however, having a controller while playing is prudent. It's easier to keep track of what you need to be doing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Better than B07
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →KAMGUSTA's MINI REVIEW As a lot of you, I had a issues with the resolution of the game, the solution is simple: Go find the "JoeDanger2.exe" executable, right click on it, go to "Properties", then on tab "Compatibility". 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 →does not run at all on pc (win10 22h2) crashes in world 2 on steam deck
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Joe Danger 2 is the same basic concept as the previous game in the series. Instead of only riding a dirt bike, now you can ride a quad, a snowmobile, a jet pack, and more. The obstacles are very similar where you have to maneuver through each level avoiding bear traps, spikes, and other deadly obstacles while also trying to accomplish your level goals such as beating a time, doing tricks 100% of the level, or hitting specific targets. The game starts off real easy and progressively gets…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game makes me wish Steam had a neutral rating. It's not bad, but it's not really good either. The screen is often too cluttered with explosions and various other moving parts, making it easy to lose track of your stuntman. Check out the original game first. It's the better of the two. If you like that one enough, then I suppose you'd probably get some enjoyment out of this one as well.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mac users should skip this unforunately unless you have a genuine Xbox controller and even then I am not sure if it works or not. It did not work with a Logitech F-510 Rumblepad which can be setup either as analog or Xinput so who knows. I do know this, there is no option to remap the buttons so there was no way to attempt setting it up. Controller setup is non-existent in this game. The launcher lets you set keyboard options and does not acknowlege controllers at all. This is pretty strange…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's basically Uniracers, except with unskippable cutscenes that go on far too long (and even contain areas of absolutely no action whatsoever - a lot of them are like watching a highlight reel with a five second fade-out and five second fade-in in between each clip) and way, way, WAY too much activity going on on-screen. It seems to have been meant for larger displays, but even on a 50" LCD there's so much background activity and random details on the track that figuring out what needs to be…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It really lacks quality, specially on the voice. I'm not even sure if a kid would be entertained with this for long, I got bored after playing three levels.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hello Games Is Amazing!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thanks Sean, game is fun like other motorcycle games. Lots of fun for everyone to play including my mother whom was recently rendered blind. 7/10 my dad likes team fortress 2 player model :0)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The controls feel pretty tight and the visuals and sound are nice. But there is just too much clutter on the screen; it just becomes sickening/distracting and really detracts from the game play. While I don't think this is a bad game I just can't enjoy playing it despite the numerous times I've tried.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Try as I might I can't seem to find the fun. I'm normally a fan of this style of game but Joe Danger 2 just seems to never quite get fun. I think its biggest problem is that its just too messy. Details are well and good but this game just plain has clutter. Then its just not presented in a way that's interesting or cohesive. Which compounds the problems of the convoluted rewards system that is never rewarding. And finally the gameplay itself isn't fun. Again, its messy. They avoided the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Menu's a little wonky to navigate, but overall No Man's Sky is pretty good. Not sure what all the hubbub is about.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the game but it is obviously a console port; I can ride my vehicle, do stunts, jump but they need to create a PC port to make it easier.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →254) Joe Danger 2: The Movie For me this ended up being better than the first game. I really like the variety of vehicles and missions in this one. It also felt more manageable to collect the various stars needed to progress through the game. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one fun stuff..
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game, but takes a while to get used to. Its a runner-style game, but with much more action per second, and some variety of levels and actions performed (including, but not limited to: riding bikes, cars, jetpack, unicycle, fighting bosses, surviving bosses, time attack levels ect). Controls are hard at first (jump, duck, fly down - all on one button, Space, quite unusual), may work better with a controller (I have one, but have a hard time using it, I'm a keyboard person). Most of the game…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a really boring (and frankly poorly designed) arcade runner. It's really colorful, I guess... but there are so many object and things on the level at all times that you just end up not seeing obstacles half the time. It's mostly just really annoying. Finally it has a terrible menu UI and control scheme. Who decided to put the bonus hard levels as the first thing on the menu? Did you know there's a double jump? there is. Stuff like that just makes this game annoying.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's just too much going on. It's as if they combined every semi-decent platformer and made it as over saturated as they possibly could. I usually love these type of platform games but Joe Danger should have chosen a safer career. I couldn't even play it long enough to unlock the steam cards.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good game its sooo good!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little game. Game modes are cool but a little repetitive between themselves. 6/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once went for a QA role at Hello Games. Everyone was so nice. I had been working in advertising for about 3 maybe 4 years at this time but illustrating none stop. They said I was over qualified. This was way back when they were working on Joe Danger 2. The next game they released - No Mans Sky

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that has a lot in common with Trials (the flash motorbike game), yet does offer some variation and a different feel. It can be challenging and will cause you to fail often, but in a "lets try this again" kind of way instead of being punishing. It's fun, and allows you to make your own levels as well. Slight downside is that in certain levels the amount of colors and effects can get too much, and moreso over time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple and boring arcade runner with irritating controls.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Joe Danger 2: The Movie is better than I thought while looking at the screenshots, but it's still a boring game. It's hard to score perfect runs on keyboard, and you are forced to replay everything until you earn stars to unlock new levels - yeah, it's not my kind of thing. But if some of you don't mind, you might actually find this game fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Support 2 Xbox Controller. Say byebye to Multiplayer Co-op. I have 3 Xbox Controller and I can only play with 1 at the same time.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game makes me feel like a senile old man. The screen is cluttered with colourful distractions whilst the obstacles blend in with the stage. Hold X to duck and let go of X to jump means that both button prompts look exactly the same! It's not even that hard but there will come a point where you just give up after requiring more stars to progress. Quit updating No Man’s Sky and come fix this one, Sean.

I love joe danger 2, its my whole life, my friends, my family, all an illusion. Joe danger is the only thing that is real in this life
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been really enjoying this game. Its fun, light action and easy to quickly dip in and out of which is ideal. Looking forward to giving the multiplayer a go soon.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like other reviews, somehow this game didn't make fun for me. The forced "farm money until you can get access to a new level" gives it a real bumper.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Joe Danger 2 looks great with it's cartoonish, colorful style. But the game itself is dull, it doesn't try anything new with this runner/racer-arcade genre and ends up extremely generic and boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game 27 of my backlog. Joe Danger 2 not only frustrated me for the type of game it is, but required you to do "side quests" (deleted scenes) in order to progress with what is labeled as the main campaign. Separate those developers. There is no story; graphics are okay; gameplay is a side-scroller with repetition to the max where the difficulty ramps up towards the end, or for the side quests themselves. No I don't recommend it. The fact that the very last level is locked due the collectibles…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like this game, but the controls really SUCK!!! They are setup for an Xbox 360 controller in the description and I haven't found a way to change the mapping so I can play on the PC. If I ever get a better way to controll it I might give it a better review, but until then it sucks!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game to play with your kids. Really like the movie themes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game was quite fun... for like 5 minutes. It is pretty annoying to start all over and over again because of missing one keystroke. The game is full of colours, animation, effects and sounds, and that makes it confusing and overcrowded with effects. I got it in a humble bundle, wouldn't have bought it for myself.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I felt like this game was a waste of time. The controls feel clunky. The hints they give disapear so fast that you will be alittle confused about the controls at first. I feel like this is a game u play on your phone. I just felt like i could have spent my time on other more enjoyable games then this one.
