Jackass the game for the PlayStation(R)2 System And PSP(R)
(PlayStation(R)Portable) System Hits Retail Today SAUSALITO,
Calif., Sept. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Red Mile Entertainment
(OTC:RDML) (BULLETIN BOARD: RDML) , a worldwide developer and
publisher of interactive entertainment software, and MTV Games, a
unit of Viacom's MTV Networks (NYSE:VIANYSE:VIA.B) and publisher of
innovative interactive products, announced today the release of
Jackass the game for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment
system and PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)Portable) system. Inspired by the
popular MTV television series and hugely successful MTV Films
Jackass and Jackass number two, Jackass the game is a natural
extension of the Jackass property, taking it to new heights as the
highly anticipated mission-based action adventure game comes to
videogame systems for the first time. Jackass the game allows
players to interact and play the roles of Johnny Knoxville,
Steve-O, Jason "Wee-Man" Acuna and many others from the Jackass
gang as they virtually perform more than 35 ill-conceived stunts
and pranks. Whether they're covering themselves in a variety of
bodily secretions, playing rock-paper-nuts, or racing down a
mountain on top of refrigerators, gamers will spend countless hours
entertaining themselves as they engage in countless hysterical
situations that have been deemed too gross for the Jackass crew to
try up until now. "We've always warned our fans not to try this at
home, but now with the new jackass video game, players finally get
a chance to try all the dumb stuff we do at home ... but only
within the game of course. I mean we don't need you little jerks
gettin' any funny ideas. Heh heh ... Wahoo!" said Johnny Knoxville,
star of MTV's Jackass. "We're thrilled to bring the hilarious
comedy and irreverence of Jackass to the world of video games,"
said Tony Calandra, VP MTV Games. "The vision and extreme nature of
the show and movies are faithfully recreated in the game -- from
all the outlandish and bizarre stunts to the signature, in your
face Jackass humor." Jackass the game features dynamic physics,
detailed ragdoll modeling, and rich, populated levels for truly
emergent gameplay -- no two stunts will ever be the same. A
detailed in-game injury system tracks every impact: from virtually
broken femurs to cracked skulls. The more punishment that the
player inflicts upon the Jackass characters, the higher the
player's score. Jackass the game also offers a variety of
multiplayer features that allow players to go jackass to jackass
for even more intense and competitive action. For additional
entertainment, the PSP system version contains unlockable footage
from the Jackass TV series that lets players see the pros in
action. A fully-realized replay engine allows players to save their
very own signature Jackass moments with detailed camera controls
and editing features. Players can also trade their saved replays
and clips with other players via the PSP system's wireless
functionality. To inspire gamers to create and perform the most
outrageous stunts as humanly possible, Jackass the game features
more than 25 songs from renowned artists including The Misfits,
Circle Jerks, Skinny Puppy, The Minutemen, Chris Pontius, Nashville
Pussy and more. With song titles such as Live Fast and Die Young,
Corona and Swamp Boogie, the music provides the perfect atmosphere
for players to perform outlandish stunts in the game and virtually
indulge in Jackass behavior. The list of songs in Jackass the game
include: Artist Song Anti- Nowhere League I Hate People Balzac Wall
