Stuntman Ignition Game Review

By Jamie Fleming

Stuntman: Ignition is the sequel to the original Stuntman which was published back in 2002 by Atari who later sold the rights to the new publishers THQ. This newest game consists of six movies, each with six scenes. The way you complete tasks are set out a little differently than the first installment. The basic player will be able to drive through all the levels completing all of the director's stunts to progress onto further levels. However more advanced players will try to link or "string" stunts together to increase his/her stunt multiplier. Also there is now a strike system which tells you how stunts you've missed out. If you miss 5 you're have to reshoot, don't worry it tells you. If you're finding it hard you can always go for easy mode which gives you 8 strikes although you do get less points.

The game graphics are reasonably good and the game is also quite easy to use as the controls are simple once you've figured them out. The tasks can be hard but get more exciting as the game goes on. Once you have completed a scene, you will be rated out of 5 stars. It can be hard to get 5 stars as for this you have to "string it" which means the player must string the director stunts with other maneuvers as well like getting close to objects, drifting around corners or being airborne for example.

THQ have also kept the Stunt Constructor allowing you to create your own exciting stunt arena's. As with the first Stuntman the better you do in the movies the more objects and vehicles you get for the stunt constructor. The Constructor Challenges are also back with Easy, Tough and Insane.

THQ have also introduced "MultiClash" which includes Backlot Races, Backlot Battles and Stunt Tournies. With this feature you can challenge your friends to see who is the best stuntman.

We would definately recommend this game as it is fun to play and if you liked the first Stuntman you will love Stuntman: Ignition.
