    3... 2... 1... Action!

    Heaven and hell

    Stuntman: Ignition is all about fun, crazy action, but sometimes makes it very hard on itself to be thoroughly enjoyed. It stays true to the film set format, do it over and over again until you get it right, which would be perfectly acceptable if it was your fault each time you fail. The physics engine is not realistic, which usually is fine as it helps you complete some of the more extreme stunts, but will also annoy you when you repeatedly get stuck or bump off various pointy and seemingly invisible textures.
     

    Fun prevails

    Annoyances aside, when you finally hit that string of stunts and complete the scene, all is quickly forgotten and you get an instant kick of satisfaction. Sure, maybe they could have found a better way to explain the courses and avoid some of the trial and error, but it's also quite gentle on the difficulty and doesn't really demand too much of you to just complete the scenes without aiming for any highscores. All in all, the game keeps surprising you with quick, easy fixes of pure explosive fun, but only if you let it.
     

    Pros & Cons

    + Great concept commending precision driving
    + Good sense of reward for your efforts
    - Repetitive moments get overly annoying at times
    - Uneven physics engine will sometimes mess things up

       Stuntman series are an awesome idea - the idea of being in the middle of the action in the best movies ever made. The shame is the game fails hard when trying to deliver. First of all, the game physics engine is not that great - the driving, which is the key element if you want to feel the car, and by it be able to pull off the stunts, is very bad. The cars are not responsive enough, and during jumping stunts you can very easily be sent flying across the map or land on your roof because you hit...
