99If you love video games and love having fun, then you need to do yourself a favor and download Joe Danger. I guarantee you this, it will be high on top of my game of the year list come December.
-
96Full of charm and packed with variety, this is easily one of the best PSN games you can currently buy. [Issue#194, p.102]
-
95In a lot of ways, Joe Danger feels like it was made by Nintendo: it will constantly surprise and delight you, in the way the best first-party Nintendo games do.
-
Joe Danger is one of the surest things you can find on the PlayStation 3 and deserves to be on every single system out there. It's that good.
-
92Joe Danger surprised the crap out of me. I'll freely admit that. It's just so much fun and so ridiculously addictive.
-
92Joe Danger is one of the best PlayStation Network games. It's got very funny gameplay in a 2D environment. You can race on many different tracks and do the craziest stunts. Besides of the singleplayer the game also has a level editor and the possibility to play one of the custom made levels in multiplayer.
-
91Joe Danger arrives on the gaming landscape as a refreshing experience despite its strong resemblances with other titles in the genre. It's cartoony visuals, bright colors and intuitive gameplay makes it a worth-checking out title.
-
Hello Games' debut is a fine stunt in its own right, a game bursting at the seams with play that is never anything less than perfectly focused.
-
I'm the type of player who has a threshold of patience when it comes to trial and error games, and Joe Danger doesn't come close to crossing it. Far from it.
-
91It's amazing to say that this little gem came from a development team of only 4 guys, and not a Sega or a Nintendo developer. It is a case of David vs. Goliath where David kicks ass again, and provides enough content, game play, and charisma that many will take notice of this little studio by the name of Hello Games.

-
90If you can't find at least one thing you love about this deceptively deep arcade game then you're probably not a gamer at all. [Aug 2010, p.118]
-
90It's good, really good. Hello Games might only be four strong but their first game has production values and a sense of purpose many retail PS3 games can only dream of. It's a focused, concentrated game, apparently clear of feature-creep and publisher intervention, and manages to tick all the right boxes.
-
Joe Danger is one of the best games I have experienced in digital format, it is worth every cent of its value and perhaps even more. It offers much more fun than most games.
-
2008 was the year of Braid, 2009 was the year of Trials HD and 2010 is the year of Joe Danger. This is the best game you can buy right now on the PlayStation Network.
-
A marriage between Excite Bike and Trials HD that everyone should attend.
-
Despite containing and combining elements from a number of different games, Joe Danger feels completely unique. This game will keep you coming back for more as you attempt to boost your score with insane combos.
-
It's an ambitious and exciting new franchise, but more importantly it shows off a small developer that deserves some big attention.
-
90Don't hazard anymore guesses, Joe Danger is a must own on the PSN.
-
90What it comes down to is that one word I've been tossing around throughout the review: fun. Joe Danger is simply fun. I can't see how I could possibly say anything better about the game.
-
90All in all, Joe Danger is everything that's great about indie games on consoles.
-
Joe Danger is the most "Nintendo" of the not-Nintendo games; a statement that clarifies the awesome quality of this wonderful PSN game.
-
90Magnetic. Joe Danger is a cartoon-style Trials HD, showing a perfect level design and a compelling structure.
-
Indie studio Hello Games' debut release hooked us from the get-go, and with good reason: It's one of the best original games to hit PSN. [Sept 2010, p.82]
-
It has a ridiculously high replay ability factor, it's a game that is dressed in its proverbial Sunday best with regards to both aesthetic and technical ability, and it makes the age-old videogame designer headache of creating an experience that is "easy to pick up, hard to put down" look easy.
-
If Joe Danger had online multiplayer and an online hub to exchange track creations, it would be darn near perfect. Even without these additions, the game's still an incredible value.
-
88Joe Danger is everything I hoped it was. The game's incredibly fun, highly addictive, and offers a decent amount of replay value to those who wish to complete every last challenge, and stay number one amongst their friends on the leaderboards.
-
Essential and utterly addictive. [Aug 2010, p.101]
