POCG VERDICT
A stuntman sequel that throws everything at the wall, then jumps a motorcycle over it.
Joe Danger 2 is bigger, louder and packed with stunt-course replay value. It loses some focus, but the arcade fun holds strong.

Modern Re-release
The cleanest option is the Steam version (2013) with Workshop, mouse-and-keyboard support and 1080p; also released on PS Vita.
Emulation / Other Options
