The highly anticipated game will be available on Nintendo DS and released to EU territories and Switzerland on September 19, 2008.

Jackass: the Game is inspired by the popular MTV television series and hugely successful MTV Films Jackass and Jackass Number Two. Jackass: the Game will give players the ability to take on the roles of Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and many others from the Jackass gang as they maneuver through the types of off-the-wall madness and stunts fans have been accustomed to watching on television and in movies.

If you think you can handle stupid stunts, stupid pain and general stupidity on two screens, then you will be really happy to hear that Jackass The Game will be released for the Nintendo DS console, after it has been released for the PlayStation 2 and PSP systems.

In Jackass The Game for the DS players are challenged to prove what they're worth to the cast of Jackass across five open-ended environments, everything while showing some serious "Jack-robatics". Also, players will have the options to create their own character and unlock a near limitless combination of customizable items and outfits (like a tiny pair of g-strings could be called outfit!). To make it even easier for those who like the stunts made by Johnny Knoxville & Co., players can now rise their attributes in order to perform those stunts with ease.

The game also has a multiplayer mode, allowing friends to compete against each other through a range of head to head challenges. So if you are insane or you like insane stuff, Jackass The Game is the title for you. But read really carefully the warning that says that the stunts featured in the game are performed by professionals, so you shouldn't attempt anything from the game. Really, now, the guys doing the show are too many, already! Let them be and let you be... healthy and sane. Because that's all that matters.

The game is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB and a release date has yet to be announced.
