Editorial Reviews :
In Stuntman, you'll perform dangerous stunts in three or four vehicles as you play the part of a Hollywood stuntman for hire. You'll need to be good: the stunts will get harder, and you must accumulate skills to progress from low-budget productions to multimillion-dollar Hollywood blockbusters. Each stunt consists of a series of clearly defined objectives, which can range from 180-degree spins to perfectly timed jumps, dramatic barrel rolls, and T-bone smashes. To succeed, the player must achieve all or some of each scene's set objectives. Stunts take place on movie sets in six different countries around the world; completing each stunt rewards you with bonus items for use in the Stunt Arena, which you create yourself. Stuntman was developed with the help of one of the movies' most experienced stuntmen, Vic Armstrong.
Buyer Reviews :
Atari and Reflections Interactive teamed up to create an original and innovative driving game. In Stuntman's career mode you start out as a rookie driver and progress though six different movie sets. On each movie you will have to complete three to five stunt sequences. Every time you complete a movie you will get to see a rendered trailer of the film with your stunt sequences in it. You will get to drive all different types of vehicles from sports cars to snowmobiles. There are also three driving games included - precision tests, speed tests and stunt tests. My favorite of these driving games was the stunt tests. There are ten stunt tokens placed throughout a course and you are given a limited amount of time to collect them all. Game trailers are also included for Driver 3, Superman and Splashdown.
The graphics are usually very good but there are occasional jaggies that pop up. The cars also take damage and parts fly off of them. The pedestrians on the street are not very detailed though. The sound is good and the game has a decent soundtrack. The voice acting in the trailers is great. The controls are decent and take very little time to get used to. The steering at first seemed a little stiff but you get used to it.
If you get frustrated easy you should not even attempt to play this game. The levels are challenging and one false move could ruin the entire run. If there is a fault in Stuntman it is the load times. It takes awhile to load in between stunts and if you fail a stunt there is about a ten second load time till you can restart. The game has an average amount of replay value. I really enjoyed this game. There was nothing more satisfying than watching a replay of a stunt you just completed. This game is only recommended for those who are looking for a challenge.
