Brilliantly charming and consistently entertaining, it's a true XBLA classic.

A great arcade game with the perfectly right fun to challenge ratio. If you belong to the fans of Trials HD or to the little old Excitebike and you still don't have your own Joe Danger copy, then there's something wrong with you.

Joe Danger's mechanics , level design and controlls are masterfully executed to the point where it feels like something nintendo made during its golden age instead of being an indie game developed by 4 people. 98%

Fantastic game - This is game has the fun elements of excitebike, the stunts and physics of Trials HD with touches of classic mario bros/Sonic the Hedgehog style of fun. I don't think I've ever cursed at a game more than Trials HD (that game is fantastic, but frustratingly difficult in a very good way)...this game is far more forgiving than Trials, yet can be as challenging as you want it to be. Great game all around a must play for anyone who has enjoyed any of the games mentioned above.

Joe Danger SE has some minor flaws, but the vast majority of the experience is both fun and very well-crafted. It's a must-buy for 360-only owners who love the Trials and/or Excitebike series and missed out before due to its PS3 exclusivity. Even for PS3 owners, the lab stages and greatly improved controls due to the 360's controller are worth rebuying it for.

It's crazy and funny. If you haven't had the pleasure of playing Joe the first time on PSN, this version is a must buy.

There will be times where you will turn the air blue and throw your dummy from the pram. However, there is nothing more rewarding than persevering and finally nailing a level (one level took me over 250 attempts). Joe Danger: Special Edition rides that fine line between frustration and fun perfectly.

Even after a year Joe Danger is still well worth your time. (...) Hello Games gave an excellent debut that doesn't have to dread comparisons to the style, look and feel of classic Nintendo titles.

A cheerier, more versatile alternative to Trials HD, whose Special Edition manages to make trial-and-error and constant repetition even more fun.

Oh Joe, how I have screamed at you! With elements of Trials, Excite bike, SSX and Tony Hawks this really is a candy coloured treat! You will be glued to that leader board and you will curse Joe... a lot!

This game is utterly fantastic. It's what games should be, fun and irreverent but with proper core game mechanics for the true gamer keep you going back for more. If you liked trials you should get this, itâ

Joe Danger Special Edition is lying in its title... It is not special but instead the usual "This is going to be ok for a month" arcade game. There are some fun elements to it but overall it is the same boring rubbish that we expect this time of year from someone trying to make a quick buck. If you want a brilliant bike game play Trials, not this waste of money!!!

L'indé du jour est en 2D et demi et affiche peut-être bien une centaine de couleurs (il faudrait les compter pour être sûr), ce qui le place au-dessus des étrons habituels dont le genre indé est si coutumier (entre 2 et 16 couleurs en moyenne). Il s'agit d'un jeu de plate-forme avec le petit bonhomme sur sa moto qui saute comme un mariol(e) moustachu mais sans moustache pour récupérer des conneries de petites étoiles à la mords-moi-le-noeud. C'est à la fois tellement niais, bête et simplet que la manette nous tombe des mains, littéralement. Répétitif et idiot, affublé d'une musique imbécile et de menus criards, Joe Danger est un danger non seulement pour le petit monde des jeux vidéo mais aussi pour lui-même... ah attendez, je crois qu'il a sauté et terminé directement sa dernière cascade dans la poubelle.
