... I wasn't really into the last stuntman game that hit the market (Forever ago), it was to my memory, very short and painstakingly frustrating. This game, however, is a total blast! I rented it (Something I do on a regular basis these days and would advise everyone to start doing, games are rarely worth 60 bucks anymore)a couple of nights ago and my roommate and I have played it non-stop since. The real challenge is that so much is going on all around you at once you really have to focus to complete what you would think is a real easy 2 minute scene. You have to hit your marks precisely while gas tankers are flipping in front of you, buildings are collapsing, cops are chasing you, etc.
You work on verious different 'movies' or 'commercials' that are all suspiciously familiar: Dukes of Hazzard, James Bond, Dante's Peak, a 70's cop movie, a Rambo-esque action movie and more.
There is plenty of extras to unlock for the perfectionists out there, and you'll probably find yourself going back over past movies just to nail that tricky scene that you just didn't feel that you gave your all to last time around. Don't be fooled by the one reviewer on here that said it was short! He must have the demo, this game is plenty bigger than most games out nowadays and much much more challenging (I complete Tomb Raider and Splinter Cell, Double agent each in a weekend, which is how long I have owned this now and I'm still not done playing) and certainly a lot more fun.
Cons? I honestly can't think of any. I guess some people may find the difficulty a little inconsistent (Some later missions are easier than previous ones) but that's really neither here nor there. My roommate faired better in missions where timing was more important than showmanship, and I was the opposite, so that's where I think the difficulty can appear a little off.
I'd certainly recommend giving this one a go! Best game I've played in a year or so.

great game. the guy above has the demo, not the real game. very long, and you can make your own stunt track!

I picked this title up a few weeks ago because it was on sale for $10 and I really wasn't expecting too much out of it because most of the reviews I had read on it had rated it pretty mediocre. It ended being great! It pretty much didn't come out of my Xbox 360 for about 3 straight weeks. I can see where some people would be turned off by it because you do have to repeat the same scenes over and over until you get it right, but once again, I truly enjoyed it. Note: I never played the original Stuntman on the PS2.

This game is really fun, but ridiculously short. I rented it (so I'm not talking about the 3 level demo) and I finished the entire game in about 5-6 hours. True, I didn't get 5 stars on EVERY track, but nearly. I played all the levels, and the constructor, and the comercials, and whatever else opened up. If I had paid $60 for this game, I would be quite angry at the length (or lack thereof). Don't waste your money, rent it.

Stuntman: Ignition is one of those games that comes around only once in a long while. While it may not be at the level of games like Bioshock when it comes to something new, it still is a lot of fun to play and a must-have. You do stunts for different movies such as Aftershock and Whoopin' and a Hollerin' II along with a few others, and they're very addicting to perform for. Though, at times I found myself frustrated by a certain markers that I would miss, it still is an adrenaline-packed ride that will definitely keep you pumped and ready for more action during the fast-paced gameplay. The unlockables are pretty interesting to get. Arena Customizing is a lot of fun to build and destroy things. There is just so much stored in Stuntman: Ignition that you really shouldn't miss if you love adrenaline rushes during fast gameplay. So really, go buy this game immediately.

Not too bad. The director's comments get to be a little tiring, but other than that, a decent game overall. I'm still not finished playing it, and probably will be playing it for quite a while. Lots of repeat play here !!

This game is a little more forgiving than the first stuntman was on PS-2. For what it does, this game is pretty official. But it's definitely a very linear experience. You always have to learn courses fairly well to succeed, and that involves hitting exact marks, and doing progressively difficult stunts. The overall package delivers, despite the fact that the graphics are slightly cartoony, and remind me a bit of the last generation of systems. Luckily, the mechanics are on point, and the stunts are great.

This game is not great. That's the first thing you have to know. It's hard beyond the measure sometimes and punishes completionists like me more than I would like it to do.

But... It is an amazing game that allows for great moments of pure fun. I'll be racing against the time and barriers proposed by the Movie Set and some stunts will, garanteed, put a smile on your face.

The only thing is that the Map editor comes with just a few options and I haven't been able to use it properly.

This game is really fun. But, it can be frustrating if you keep messing up part (or all) of the scene. Sometimes, it doesn't point out where your mistake lies. You just get one too many "strikes". If it replayed your mistake, it would be easier. Maybe just my tv, but; the audio is a little low & muffled. You have to really turn it up or listen because the instructions are also audio to guide you through the scene. There also isn't much variety at first with what is unlocked at the beginning.

This is a very challenging game. My eight year old son is much better at it than I, but it's even pretty hard for him. I wish it had some beginner levels for video game amateurs like me so I could work my way up to the more challenging courses. It's pretty good for a game in the $15 price range, though it can be a little frustrating at the same time. The graphics are about a 7 or 8 out of 10. Overall a decent game if you're the patient type.
