Editorial Review

Superstar Jackie Chan is known for his fast kicks and fancy stunts--so it is no surprise that he is finally getting his own video game. Jackie can bounce off walls, use ordinary objects as weapons, break things, and, of course, kick and punch the daylights out of any thug who stands in his way.

Like his movies, the game does have some semblance of a plot. It seems that Jackie's grandfather has been kidnapped (while Jackie was stuffing his face at a café, no less). The action star must fight his way through a number of back alleys and abandoned factories to rescue him. To carry out his mission, Jackie must collect red and gold dragon tokens and take on some pretty mean bosses.

Short movie scenes feature a computer-generated Chan with all the facial expressions fans have come to know and love as well as his own voice acting. Jackie Chan Stuntmaster might not exactly be A Rumble on the Bronx, but it is the next best thing to seeing Jackie on the silver screen. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Funny cutscenes featuring Jackie's face and voice
• Lots of stunts and weapons à la his movies

Cons:

• Jackie could have used even more moves

This review is from: Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster (Video Game)

I booted this into my playstation expecting a sub-par game at best. What I got was a completely unexpected treat of a game.

Jackie Chan's Stuntmaster brings you back to the days of Streets of Rage, wandering different locations like City Streets, Docks and other areas, coming across tons of bad guys trying to get in your way. With a simple control system (Punch, kick, Grapple, Block), you can pull off some classic Jackie Chan Combos.

I was just blown away by how fun this game was. Jackie Chan and his incredible fighting style was a big part of it. You can do all his combos, grapple moves, kicks, flips off walls, etc..all in blazing fast speed. The game also features cut-scenes thare both beautifully rendered and hilarious. Jackie's humor is seen quite frequently through the game. (Be sure to check out the credits - the game actually has the trademark Jackie Chan outtakes).

Great Controll, Great Cutscenes, Great Gameplay, and a Great Price. You cannot go wrong with this game.

This review is from: Jackie Chan: Stuntmaster (Video Game)

being a huge chan fan for many years, this game is on the top of my "buy now, dont rent list". his broken english dialogue is hilarious and the out-takes are priceless. ive played many movie based games(star wars fans may find this comment blasphemous)and this ranks as the best. the gameplay is simple so you don't have to fork over extra cash for a strategy guide,i was able to learn these killer moves in one day. if you are one of the millions... and millions of jackie chan's fans, take a day off from work and buy this game.

This is one game that was a long time in the making, and like his movies, it is full of action. What I like about it is it doesn't try to confuse you with all of the motions you can do by pressing 10 million buttons. The plot of the game (Jackie loses package to gang) actually sounds like a plot for one of his movies. Also JC providing his moves and his voice to the game is a real plus. He is one of the most respected moviemakers, and this game shows it. For one thing, it is not excessively violent. Anyone can play. JC sets a good example to kids with that and he is definately a role model in my book. Way to go, Jackie!
