I know Jackass built an empire out of it, but I’m still surprised at just how funny people falling down can be. Seriously, I laughed out loud at times here.
Because what I’ve seen of the show is really funny, and that gleefully carries over from the telly to the game. Everything has but one goal, to smack the poor sap in question off the suspended course and down into the cold, cold, water below. Huge (padded) pistons pop out of the walls, teeter-totters swing wildly, and giant (ahem) balls swing like pendulums into the hapless runners. If you’re not either, here’s the setup: contestants run a tough obstacle course that’s very reminiscent of Ninja Warrior and pretty much any old-school Japanese gameshow. I wasn’t super familiar with the ABC gameshow Wipeout before I fired up the game of the same name on my iPad.
No, not that Wipeout- the gameshow… from TV! Activision and The Blast Furnace bring the water-logged game to iOS, but does it manage to reach the finish line?
