Which one is better? Joe Danger 1 or JD: the Movie?

I wonder which one is better, not in term of contents, but the game itself.


The The Movie one seems to be a bit too "random" and uncommon stuff you don't except compared to the first one.


So which ones is your favorite? And why?

Why not buy both while it's on sale! Only costs $15.00 in Canada! Both games are great in their own way. The original focuses more on bike levels (i.e Trials) while the sequel focuses more on variety, you'll be riding skis, minecart, unicycle, policebike and other vehicles. Both are packed with extra content for the PC and already had a ton of levels!

I bought both the first minute it was released.

I was still wondering of others opinions.

I'll probably enjoy the second one more because of the variety you mentioned.

I like the first one and it definitely is chockful of content(career mode, director's cut, ultra hard content, training grounds, custom levels) but there is only one tileset in career mode and one tileset in training grounds, that's it. Career mode did get a bit stale for me because of that.

I honestly haven't played the game on PC because my laptop is getting repairs. However, I have played Joe Danger on the PS3 and it was very fun. I personally love going for all the objectives on each course. Play what you like, they are both great games in their own way.

I've played the second one a bit now. The second is definitely more accessible and it also has gotten some PC love. It has the guy from minecraft + TF2 cast as costumes and it has some neat intro movies. I also unlocked more customes in my first two races than in the whole of Joe Danger 1.

I would say the first one is more Trials-esque, second one seems to be more focused on providing spectacle (hollywood movie style). If the Trials-esque gameplay is your thing, you'll defintely be able to engorge yourself in the first one. I completed career mode and training grounds and it was enough for me. I barely touched Director's Cut and the ultra hard stuff, not to mention the custom levels.

Joe Danger 2 is easier and more accessible than Joe Danger due to the gameplay improvements and variety that others have mentioned. If you buy both and care about the achievements and/or completion I'd recommend starting with the original Joe Danger since it's tougher going backwards which is what I did and regret it.
