In the game, there are a few laughs, but it's seldom as entertaining as the show. So why release the game now, after the height of the franchise's popularity has passed? Personally, I thought the best humor came from the ensemble of different personalities working off one another, and the game recognizes this fact and the show's breakup to some degree, as you start with only a few of the cast members with one of your objectives being to reunite the others for one last blowout season of the show. The "Jackass" show has been off the air for some time now, the cast having split up to embark on their own respective endeavors ( Viva La Bam, Wild Boyz, etc.) to varying degrees of success. It's this non-reliance on perfection that makes the game somewhat fun, but as you get further into it, the recycled content and unimpressive visuals may rein its staying power back to being only a rental except to the most die-hard fans of the show. Not so with Jackass: The Game where, in keeping with the spirit of the show upon which it's based, sometimes failing horribly at a challenge nets you the best results. Many minigame compilations emphasize hand-eye coordination, timing and perfecting some process as a means to a more desirable end.
