This review is from: Stuntman: Ignition (Video Game)

I had played the GBA version of the original stuntman awhile ago and remembering it fondly I picked up Ignition. I haven't been disappointed with this game yet, unless you consider cursing at your screen a disappointment, and I don't. The restart option is your friend here as you memorize each increasingly insane filmed stunt until you make it to the end. The lengths of the stunts vary as do the quality of the shenanigans involed but more often than not you will be laughing with this games over the top sense of humour and its skewering of "pop" film directors like "robert Rodrino" as well as the sheer manic feel of the some of the major stunts. The games strength like others before it (Crazy Taxi/Carmageddon) is the joy of the combo and once you five star a run you will feel quite a bit of satisfaction. The music is a little metaly and the directors barking can get annoying but sound effects wise the game is also terrific otherwise. The star system of unlocking films might be daunting for some, but the extra options like odd jobs, freestyle, and stunt constructor set all help fill the time when you are stuck on filming a certain scene. There is way too much precision involved here for the included 6 axis motion control and unlocking the constructor parts can be a bit of work but there is alot of ground to cover here for those who love the gas pedal and don't mind the restart button. I hope THQ doesn't kill the franchise but if this is the finale its a grand sendoff. For the price you can't go wrong IF YOU LIKED BURNOUT PARADISE you should give this a shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Constructor Fun, Crashing, and Explosions!, June 22, 2008

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Stuntman: Ignition (Video Game)

I know everyone trashed the last game in this series, but this one is very fun. The director gets kinda annoying, especially the one with the.... French, or something like that, accent. I got this game because I like awesome explosions and car destruction and high flying jumps. This game has all of it!

In the first five minutes of playing it, I was yelling for my brother to see this game. The graphics are outstanding! The cars and trucks handle pretty good. The motorcycle handle some-what good, but get annoying when you hit a wall and fall off. The semis and monster trucks are fun to drive because they handle pretty well for their size. And don't you like running over cars. You can change the colors on the vehicles, too. And sence I'm talking about the vehicles, I'll say that the damage is good. Things bend this way and that. It's fun to watch the cars blow up in the movies. It's very realistic.

The difficulty starts out easy, then gets harder, just like a lot of other games. You restart a LOT! In the last movie your in, Night Avenger, you restart about twenty times, litarally, in each scene. Gets a lit... urr.... very fustrating sometimes, but overall, very fun!

You do lots of movies which I don't think are real, that means those guys that made the game had to think out a bunch of movies by themselves.
I think thats pretty cool. You do commercials and stunt show, too. The commercials are very amazing because when you finish and watch the replay, it adds things like someone talking about the product being advertised. That is cool when you see it. The stunt show are hard, but fun. Know one wants an game thats too easy. When you finish a scene, you feel a bunch of happiness in you, which is a little weird, but rewarding.

PROS: 1. Awesome graphics
2. Great soundtrack, recognizable songs
3. Destruction is fun for anyone
4. Constructor, go crazy and build the most insane stunt coarses in the world
5. Vehicles handle good
6. Exiting, fast gameplay
7. Good replays
8. Enough things to keep you busy for a while
9. High replay value

CONS: 1. Fustrating
2. Falling off on you're motorcycle
3. Getting stuck on little things
4. ............

That's all I can think of. You can see it's a very fun game. I love it. You should give this one a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars Trial and Error Gem, June 16, 2008

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Stuntman: Ignition (Video Game)

This is a game like Mom used to make- equally unforgiving and fun, but very satisfying when you pull off a level. This is not a game that can be played through in one sitting, but will take a long time if you go for all the bonuses and 5 star courses. Is it repetitive? Sure is, just like every other game ever made. The deal here is that each re-try feels like a tutorial on how to perfect each level. You'll be learning a lot too, because restarting levels is the name of this game! That's not really a bad thing, just something you have to be prepared for.

Once you do pull a good run and finish all the different stunts in each "movie", your treated to a trailer for the "film". You can see the time that the developer put into these trailers- great stories, great voice acting, and just the right amount of cheese-factor make tthese trailers a treat. Once you complete a couple of films the individual events open up, and then the game really shines. One event may have you driving in a commercial, while another puts you into a daredevil stunt show. These are arguably more fun than the main game, so it's a real bonus. Also don't miss the online mode where you can build and share your own stunt track creation.

It's a shame this game didn't catch on when it was released because it's really fun, and is not the same old racer. Bonus is that now we can enjoy Stuntman Ignition at a bargain price.
