Proto:Jackass: the Game (PlayStation 2)

This page details one or more prototype versions of Jackass: the Game (PlayStation 2).

  This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

To do: Might be worth looking into if the way the game counts score for some of the stunts that had their score requirements changed. See if Multiplayer works and is just locked away in this build.

A prototype of jackass: the game was released as part of Project Deluge by Hidden Palace. The build is dated April 27, 2007, which predates the final US build by almost four months.

Stunts

Most of the stunts had a varying level of changes, including gameplay, objectives, sounds and visuals.

Director's Tips

Seems to be someone else other than Jeff Tremaine doing the voice, along with slight differences to the script and censorship.
