Stuntman
Check out Gamestop.com's exclusive Gameshark codes for Stuntman! Rise from rookie driver to hero of the silver screen. Have you got what it takes? In the world of stunt driving, fear is failure. One slip and your Hollywood dreams are over. The higher you climb, the higher the stakes. Grip the wheel, hit the gas, chase the glory.
Stuntman, made by the producers of the highly acclaimed Driver series, is a unique game that, despite its flaws, still packs a ton of fun--especially for those who love action-style driving games like Burnout. The game puts you on the sets of several fictitious, stunt-heavy movies, including the 007-inspired Live for Two Tomorrows and the Guy Ritchie-inspired Toothless in Wapping. You're to execute detailed driving stunts by following the director's instructions over a radio and several onscreen visual cues. The stunts are constructed mostly out of driving around, through, and over obstacles, but there are more than a few inventive sequences that you have to time just right. If you do it wrong, or mess up the timing of the shot, you have to retake the scene. The game can be quite a strain on one's patience, however. There's no initial "walk-through," as there would be for a real production, so it takes several passes to even get a grasp of what you're doing. Plus there's a pause for reloading between each scene that can be grating. Still, players receive tremendous satisfaction from mastering a scene. Gamers may be disappointed in the quality of Stuntman's graphics--it seems only a half-step above Driver 2--but they'll love the handling of these vehicles and the interactivity of the environments. Nearly everything in the game can be moved or broken. The really versatile Stunt Constructor tool lets you play with all kinds of fun toys or tricks, such as jumps, loops, and even cannons. Lay them out in an arena and then drive the course. You have to unlock all but the most basic toys and vehicles by completing scenes, but it's a great way to blow off steam. --Porter B. Hall Pros: - Car handling is easy and responsive
- Great game physics with lots of interactive items
- The Stunt Constructor tool lets you wreck stuff in lots of different ways
Cons:- Lack of walk-throughs adds a needless level of difficulty to an already challenging game
- There are reload screens between each take
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.

Stuntman Reviews
Stunts are very difficult, with little margin for errors. That's the major drawback-completion. The concept is great. And you can't progress without completing the stunts assigned to you. (Major bummer).But I love watching the saved stunts I completed.
No. Did I complete the game. I watch them repeatedly, with pride. I reached a stunt that I spent days trying to complete, and I still haven't done it. Once you DO complete one, you feel a swell a pride like no other driving game you've ever played before.
You perform stunts that are unbelievably fun (once you complete them).
Most games we buy seem to be so simple that the fun doesn't last for long. It may not be the best game for very young kids that don't have much experience with PS2 yet and using the controls, but for the avid player it is an exciting adventure that doesn't make you feel like after a few times of playing your money has been wasted. My husband and son (OK - me too) LOVE this game. This game is definitely worth the money. It has some challenges that make it interesting and wanting to come back for more. This game not only takes you to a new driving level for your skills, but incorpaorates making a movie also.
I could even beat the very last mission. I had bought this weak crap in 7/16/03. If you think it was cool on the comerical, well your wrong. This game is so frustrating and it's not that fun. Don't even buy this game because it is not good as you thought it was on t.v. When you on the "stunt constructor" mode and you go up the ramp, it is fonny. When you get close to beat the hole game is was hard and gay.
It is also not very fun at all. It is a waste of money and is extremely difficult. DO NOT buy this game.
It has some of the longest loading times too. This game is incredibly difficult. Unless you have the unlock everything code "BindI", do yourself a favor and skip this one.
