Joe Danger Review
To those who include level editors in your games, be advised: this is how you’re supposed to do it. Joe Danger, the charming first shot from British developers Hello Games, includes, like seemingly every racing game these days, an easy-to-use level editor. The difference is that Joe Danger really includes it: making it a part of the challenge as you race along. You literally have to build the track as you go during the tutorial — a brilliant conceit that actually makes learning and using the level editor relevant to gamers generally, not just those with a penchant for sharing their artistic brilliance (or lack thereof)…with the ladies.
Okay, enough about level editors, already. Who is Joe Danger? He’s a dude playin’ a dude disguised as another dude! No, wait, that’s Robert Downey, Jr. from Tropic Thunder, what the hell am I thinking? Joe Danger is a former motorcycle daredevil aiming to make a comeback on the motorcycle daredeviling circuit. He looks kinda like Leisure Suit Larry, but make no mistake: unlike Larry, Joe’s actually got game…with the ladies.
