Jackass: The Game is a video game based on the popular television series Jackass. It was developed under license by Sidhe Interactive in Wellington, New Zealand for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. The game was first shown at the 2006 E3 behind closed doors.

The Nintendo DS version of the game is being developed by Sensory Sweep Studios, out of Salt Lake City, Utah.

It has been confirmed by Sidhe Interactive that all of the Jackass cast and crew will provide their own voices and supply their likenesses for the game (except Bam Margera who does not feature). Johnny Knoxville and other members of the Jackass team also provided stunt ideas to the developer based on unused stunts from the show. [1] A trailer was released in June 2007 on the game's official website, along with the cover art.

Gameplay

In an article by IGN.com, it was stated that the video game would consist of a set of 40 minigames that closely follow aspects of both the series and the movies. Jason "Wee-Man" Acuña will have his own set of minigames in the video game. It is stated on the official game website that the DS version has an open environment with which players interact to pull off stunts.
