Living it Up in River City

Joe Danger!

Been having a lot of fun with this game lately.  It’s kind of a racing/stunt/platformer mishmash on PSN with a nice mix of challenges: some are just beating a certain time or racing AI opponents, while others include exploring a level for secrets or keeping a stunt combo going for the entire run.

It’s got a lot of smileworthy moments and puns scattered about, and it lovingly takes a few pages from a bunch of classic games.  It handles really nice after a little practice with the controls, and it’s got a bright and fun style to it.  There’s also a little multiplayer and a sandbox mode to make levels, though I didn’t mess around with them too much.  Only thing that’s a bit iffy is the $15 price tag, but there’s plenty of replay value if you want to go for all the stars.

Major props to Hello Games for making such a fun arcade-style game with a team of only four people!

Living it Up in River City I reblog a lot of goofy nonsense and other cool stuff that catches my eye. Sometimes I post a few things I do here too.
