    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

    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.

    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 hours.

    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]
