Gamers Wreak Virtual Havoc as Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and the
Jackass Gang Bring Their Stunts to the PSP(R)
(PlayStation(R)Portable) System, PlayStation(R)2 System and
Nintendo DS (TM) This Fall SAUSALITO, Calif., June 19
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Red Mile Entertainment (OTC:RDML)
(BULLETIN BOARD: RDML) , a worldwide developer and publisher of
interactive entertainment software, and MTV Games, a unit of
Viacom's MTV Networks (NYSE:VIA) and publisher of innovative
interactive products, announced today the Fall 2007 launch of
Jackass the Game for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment
system, PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)Portable) system and Nintendo DS(TM).
Jackass the Game is a mission-based action adventure game inspired
by the popular MTV television series and hugely successful MTV
Films Jackass and Jackass Number Two. For the first time ever on a
videogame system, 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 virtually maneuver through the types of
off-the-wall madness and stunts that fans have previously only been
accustomed to watching on their televisions and movie screens. The
highly anticipated title has reunited some of the most notable cast
members from the Jackass series and films for players to interact
with and play as -- providing hours of outrageous entertainment.
"For years on Jackass, we stressed 'do not try the stunts we do at
home'," said Johnny Knoxville, star of MTV's Jackass. "But with our
new Jackass video game, you can now try our stunts at home ... but
only while playing the video game -- you little juvenile
delinquents!" With more than 35 unique scenarios, players will get
to virtually experience Jackass stunts too extreme for even their
wildest dreams -- from careening down the streets of San Francisco
in a garbage can while dodging traffic to running off on a golf
cart at a golf course while trying to hit every destructible object
in the way. "We have set a new precedent with Jackass the Game,"
said Chester Aldridge, CEO of Red Mile Entertainment. "By bringing
the successful and popular series to the PSP system, PlayStation 2
system and Nintendo's DS, we have combined forces with MTV to
deliver an exhilarating experience for gamers." Jackass the Game
features dynamic physics, detailed ragdoll modeling, and rich,
populated levels for truly emergent gameplay -- no two Jackass the
Game stunts will ever be the same. A detailed in-game injury system
tracks every impact: from virtually broken femurs to ruptured
spleens. The more punishment that the player inflicts upon the
Jackass characters, the higher the player's score. In addition,
Jackass the Game also has a variety of multiplayer features that
allow players to go head to head for even more intense and
competitive action. Additionally the PSP system version contains
unlockable footage from the Jackass TV series that lets players see
the pros in action. Furthermore, a fully realized replay engine
allows players to save their very own signature Jackass moments
with detailed camera controls and editing features. In addition,
players can trade their saved replays and clips with other players
via the PSP system's wireless functionality. "Jackass fans have
been waiting a long time for a video game that delivers the humor,
irreverence, and unique style of the Jackass franchise, and we're
thrilled to be able to make it happen. By working directly with the
show's creators, we've taken the vision that has made Jackass such
a phenomenon and rendered it seamlessly into a really outstanding
video game," said Tony Calandra, VP MTV Games. The independent
Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has not yet rated
Jackass the Game. For more information about the ESRB visit
