3 Star ReviewStuntman Ignites graphics
Strengths: Graphics are great! Quite a bit of fun to play
Weaknesses: A little lacking in storyline, but that is expected as this is more of an action packed game
Summary: The game has great graphics. It is a blast to play, although for me it got boring a little fast as I am always instrested in the storyline, along with graphics.

3 Star ReviewSo close to a blockbuster
Strengths: Good concept, good graphics, can get addicting
Weaknesses: Sometimes game objectives aren't clear, and it gets VERY frustrating
Summary: Stuntman Ignition puts you in a variety of different movie scenarios, where you are the stuntman in charge of making sure that the scene goes off according to the director's vision. In many ways, it's a great idea for a game, and this game both helps the series finally achieve some of its potential, while at times it can be incredibly frustrating.

The game's graphics and sound have really improved in this "next-gen" outing. There is a lot of detail around the various sets and a lot of stuff going on. The only problem is this can sometimes make it really hard to know where to go. You're given some basic ideas by the director, but in general, there is a LOT of trial and error. Need to drive through lava? Good luck figuring out exactly which little sliver of ground they MEAN for you to drive through. And for each scene, once you miss too many points, you have to do it over again. If you're having a bad session and just not getting where you're expected to go, expect to play the scene over.. and over... and over.. and over again. Depending on your personality and the mood you're in while playing, this is either incredibly addicting or incredibly frustrating/repetitive. If you're a perfectionist, this is probably your game!

That said, when the game works, it works well. However, a little more instruction before each scene would probably help. I can only assume they think proper instructions would make it too easy, but the trial and error aspect of the game just makes it frustrating.

I'm giving it 3 stars- it probably deserves 3.5 (which I can't give) but I don't believe it quite deserves a 4. With some tweaking, this could've been a GREAT game, as it really presents a unique driving experience, but as it is, it falls just short of the mark.

3 Star ReviewStuntman Ignition
Strengths: Hollywood Atmosphere and fun to play
Weaknesses: trial and error
Summary: Since I loved the concept of this game, I bought two versions of this game: PS3 and Xbox360. I think both versions are identical. So my reviews are similar. This game is very fun to play and its graphics and hollywood atmosphere are so real. But a couple of limitations are in this game. Firstly, it need your dedication to play. This game's main theme is trial and error, so you have to keep playing the same thing again and again. I didn't enjoy this repetition. Secondly, simply put, no storyline.

I enjoyed playing this game a couple of times, since then I haven't touched this game for a long time.

Strengths: Fun to play, full of actions
Weaknesses: storyline
Summary: When I played this game, my impression was that I am in a Hollywood set and I am having a great time to enjoy the show. What a fun game it is. It is not easy to play this game, but if you put some time in it, you can do what you want. The main weakness of this game is that it has no storyline, so in the end, this game becomes repetitive. Overall, however, it is fun to play and I love playing this game.

Strengths: Fun to play
Weaknesses: Somewhat repetitive
Summary: This is a good game at its price point. It's very fun to play, especially in the beginning, as you have to complete stunt challenges. It's also easy to pick up. The only downside is that it's somewhat limited in terms of replayability, as the challenges start to get repetitive after a while. But overall, very fun at its price.

3 Star ReviewStuntman Ignition Review
Strengths: Fun gameplay
Weaknesses: Trial and error
Summary: Stuntman Ignition is the second game in the Stuntman series. The first was known for being incredibly tough, so luckily they toned it down a bit and made it more accessible to the general public. The game is fun and involves doing stunts for movies, but the problem is that it still involves a lot of trial and error gameplay that can turn some people off of it. But overall it is still a good game that a lot of people will enjoy, it looks nice, is fun and has multiplayer so there are a lot of positives to it.
