Jersey Shore gets own game. Why is this happening to us?

The "going to the gym, tanning, and doing laundry" sim nobody has been begging for has arrived

Words: on July 26, 2010

Get ready to romp around, be loud and obnoxious, try to get lots of sex, and spend hours at the tanning salon because, you know it, Jersey Shore is soon to become a socially interactive video game.

On Tuesday, MTV will launch a Jersey Shore game on Facebook, and then on MTV.com on Wednesday. The game will allow players to control their favorite character from the show in what just might be the most pointless thing to happen in the history of social networking.

"We have structured the game around the themes of the show. And it's a social experience where people can interact," said MTV's Tony Espinoza. The themes of the show include exploiting Italian stereotypes, explosive and totally unnecessary drama, and a lot of bleeped-out language. It can easily be said, however, that there is no actual substance to any part of any episode of the show.

So whether you want to be Mike ("The Situation") who abides by the three commandments - gym, tanning, and laundry - or Snooki, the one famous for such quotes as "I’m not trashy, unless I drink too much" and "I'm not a Guido, I'm a Guidette," or any of the other people who have failed to leave any sort of impression beyond "These people can vote? We're screwed", the new online game should provide hours of, I don't know, mediocre entertainment I guess.

This is, of course, all in preparation of the premiere of Jersey Shore's new season, which is this Thursday.

    Boy, am I glad I don't watch MTV anymore. I actually remember when it was about music, Unplugged sessions (Nirvana, anyone?), Beavis & Butthead and Ray Cokes. Those were the days.

    I played this game when I went to the Jersey Shore two years ago. I never want to play it again.

    If this would be a fighting game, then I was hoping the secret boss/unlockable character be the dude who did the "SNOOKIE PUNCH!" at the bar.

    This is abominable. Just for the record of mediation, though, I would like to see this very same article written by an MTV lover who is excited for the game.

    I thought it was going to be a Kinect game where the camera tracked your fist pumping as you "beat up the beat" in rhythm to terrible club music.

    like R3DRUN said, this would be best as a fighting game. That way, you could personally beat the crap out of each and every one of these characters with over the top flashy combos, again and again.

    This is why playing Facebook games doesnt classify you as a gamer.

    Just look at this as a licensed version of The Sims, only with 'authentic' Jersey Shore atmosphere and dialogue but with no Grim Reaper to keep things interesting.
    This still doesn't diminish the fact that this was one of the best years in the history of gaming. You take the good,you take the bad, you add them up and then you have...The Facts of Life! Why don't they make a game about that?!

    Are you trying to tell me this is a game based on some tv show? I thought it was a picture from that Hot Chicks with Douchebags website, only none if the chicks are all that hot.

    Jesus Christ.
    Wait, if we play as Mike, do we get to bust in on Seth Meyers' fake newscasts with Bobby Moynihan and show off our ridiculously placed six-packs? /obscureref

    Why is it, that all the assholes who complain about videogames "damaging children" and try to pass legislation banning its sale to minors while crap like this is trotted out for all the world to see and it gets a free pass. I would argue that stuff like this is much more harmful to kids, and all they have to do to access it is turn on the TV. Sometimes America really, really sucks.

    Dude, this shit's on facebook, I couldn't give two less of a f*ck...

    If it were infecting my consoles, on other hand...well then...I would have track down ANY responsible for

    this travesty and feed them their own large intestine. But until then, let any dumb douchebag crap on their

    own intelligence by actually going near this cesspit of a game.
