    This is by far the worst retail game I have played for the XBOX 360. The game is simply no fun and consists of reloading the same level over and over in an attempt to complete a series of last-second stunts. Thinking it would get better at some point, I played through every movie and side job and cannot remember a single moment where I enjoyed the experience.

    This game is a lot of fun and the career mode is quite lengthy, without becoming repetitive or boring at any point. The map editor, extra challenges and online play also extend the life of the game whilst offering something a little different. The graphics aren't top notch and sometimes the game can feel as though it was targeted towards younger teens and kids but I'd still This game is a lot of fun and the career mode is quite lengthy, without becoming repetitive or boring at any point.

    Very pleasant experience, it's a driving game with a choreographic twist... I enjoy it a lot (although it probably is a bit short).

    This game is great. if youve played the first stuntman game it is not much different to it. there is not really any new features but what it does do it does great. the gameplay is great, the graphics are great, the sound is exellent with a stunt coordinator guiding you through the stages and tottaly different director for each movie. all the movies are really witty and the game itself has This game is great. if youve played the first stuntman game it is not much different to it. there is not really any new features but what it does do it does great. the gameplay is great, the graphics are great, the sound is exellent with a stunt coordinator guiding you through the stages and tottaly different director for each movie. all the movies are really witty and the game itself has a sence of humour. there is also the stunt arena maker which is awesome and much improved from the last stuntman. this game should be an annual game like need for speed and fifa. this would of been a perfect ten if it came out alot sooner. bring on stuntman 3! . . . . . dont count on it though.… Expand

    This is a thoroughly enjoyable game. Failure never seems to be a punishment, instead it makes you want to play the game more. All the missions are totally original and the stunt creator is a great addition. The multiplayer mode is extremley fun especially when you steal the other players stunt strings. The only problems are the lack of that many good cars in the multiplayer and the fact This is a thoroughly enjoyable game.

    There is something strange about enjoying a game which is derived from someone telling you exactly what you should be doing. being a stunt driver for movies obviously makes sense to listen to your director, but the amount of freedom and choice making is so little that it turns the player into a kind of vegas slot machine...all you can do is keep trying and hope for the best. and just like There is something strange about enjoying a game which is derived from someone telling you exactly what you should be doing. being a stunt driver for movies obviously makes sense to listen to your director, but the amount of freedom and choice making is so little that it turns the player into a kind of vegas slot machine...all you can do is keep trying and hope for the best. and just like it happens in vegas, this automation proves to be extremely adictive. im not going to make a comment on either that being good or bad, but if any next-gen product has the daunting task of sitting next to other new amazing games on the shelf such as halo3 and bioshock and assasins creed and dirt and skate and many others...i would expect more from it, and so should the people who make it. it should not just compete with driving games or action games, it should compete with everything. because games are expensive. if im going to get 5 games this holliday...stuntman just cant cut the list...for it to do so, it needs to have a robust driving engine, multiple views such as a fully rendered cocpit view (pgr4), realistic hollywood set locations, better graphics, better chosen simulation settings such as car types and upgrades and weather effects, ability to create our own films, rich career mode, player customization, free ride mode and a larger world in which you have the freedom to "create" your own stunts to be used in films. not just as an add on sorry excuse for a "stunt park editor". all this is too much you say?...look at anyother top next-gen title in any genre and make me a liar. its sad really...how developers rarely go the distance. great ideas such as these fizzle away into the void. whats even worse is, now these guys are doing "stunt" games...so other developers are steering away from the genre just because someone has allready tackled it, since its a pretty focused genre. i would want to see codemasters do a stunt driving game for example...but its not going to happen, for the above reason.… Expand

    From reading some of the reviews, that maybe there not old enough to apreciate old school gaming. This is a fun game, but its a hard game. It requires near perfection, to move from level to level. I really enjoyed the challenge.

    Obsessive-compulsive players may flip out over the gameplay structure of "Stuntman Ignition," but it nonetheless makes for a surprisingly time-consuming and entertaining play.

    This game is better than the first Stuntman. It's got some good gameplay, it's easier and the controls are fine. But the story is short. But THQ have really improved on Stuntman from the PS2

    Stuntman Ignition is a great concept ruined by trial and error gameplay.

    I love the concept behind the game of you being a stunt driver for films.There are some truly amazing stunts.But for everyone of those,there are 2 or 3 frustrating ones.The vehicles handle decently,and the stunt constructor will keep you coming back for a while.The campaign is of decent length,coming in at around 8    Stuntman Ignition is a great concept ruined by trial and error gameplay.

    The graphics are quite good,with great and varied environments for each film.The framerate does run into problems at points,especially when there are a lot of explosions on the screen.

    The sound design is good,but the soundtrack is mediocre.

    Overall,Stuntman Ignition is killed by it's completely unfair difficulty and framerate issues.    … Expand

    It's probably a game best played in small doses, as the relentless pursuit of perfection can often wear you out. But if you inner Evel Knievel just yearns to be free, Stuntman's your ticket. [Sept 2007, p.78]

    Only the not-as-awesome-as-they-could-have-been graphics stump this patched-up Stuntman. [Sept 2007, p.88]

    Stuntman: Ignition would benefit from a more style substance, and its methods start to run a bit thin, but that doesn't keep it from hitting an acceptable summer-blockbuster-style mark. [Sept 2007, p.77]
