IGN reviews Stuntman Ignition: 6.5/10

Stuntman: Ignition really does have a lot to like. Explosions, well-designed movie sets, lots of vehicles, and great humor in the form of movie spoofs and director commentary ("Dude, if you nail this scene, I will totally give you my sister's number!" "I hear she's Asian!"). If gamers are willing to sit down and learn each level, which means playing all of them over and over again, there's a lot of fun to be had. Problem is, the game is often too frustrating to learn.

I was expecting a bit higher score from IGN. But this isn't a really bad score.

It is not a "bad score" technically, though it`s not worth the price on the package unless you really WANT IT NOW. I played the demo and the game is difficult mainly due to the fact that the car physics feel a bit wobbly, and the game is still a bit to hard for the average gamer, graphics and sound is not using much of the console engines.
Though it is very unique, and it is a one of a kind for(to some extent)
obvious reasons.

When basing a game`s gameplay on scripted movie sequences, it quickly becomes a developers road to linearity. ;)

"the game is often too frustrating to learn"

I remember the first game being fairly difficult too. I may give this one a rent but that's it.

[MK_Red]

True, in original we had to restart every level countless times because of that single error. Still, it was way more unique back then.

What 360 fans been saying baout the demo, and the not so postive prviews.

[i Shank u]

after playing the demo, this game seemed like more of the original w/touched up grphx. its hard and you have to get things perfect, but thats what these games have been about. i think its a good rental, or cheap buy

[nasim]

wasnt this MS motorstorm killer

lol

haaaaaaaaa

[doublertist]

...it came out on both systems

[RadientFlux]

only the mentally retarded thought Stuntman would kill anything other then your patience

wow in that case I can't wait for Eye of Judgment killer "CSI: Hard Evidence" ;)

[Anything but Cute]

even worth the paper they review it on. Waste of space.

[Gamer13]

I thought a game like this would get between 8 and 10, won,t be getting this game.

IM OUT...///"""

If you base your game purchases solely on reviewers opinions and scores, without even renting, you'll miss out on a lot of fun.

I had a lot of fun with the original Stuntman, though I did have to put up with it's frustrating challenges n' flaws. N' that's what it all really boils down to; what you are or are not willing to put up with in a game.

I'm sure I'll be renting Ignition, just as I did the original.

i agree with xenocide. not every game is a buy, but i can get my rental dollars worth out of most games. renting and demos are great for games with mixed reviews, or games you had high hopes for. they're better than reviews, anyway.

The objectives weren't always super clear nor did the game always register them properly when apparently done correctly. Aside from a few issues, the graphics are pretty good..

Unfortunately, though, rather than try a 20th or so time on a particular scene to get it perfect, I would rather be buried up to my neck in fire ants and stabbed in the eyes with forks than play another second. Pass.

[tomfoolery]

since Sony always seems to get the inferior version when it comes
to multi plat games.

[power of Green]

If you know so little about this game you shouldn't comment on it you may be the first person that has ever said that on Planet Earth.

This game sucks ass, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the PS3 version will score less(it doesn't run as good etc).

[power of Green]

PS3 version has been announced! as not being on par with the 360 version.

[xaphanze]

the ps3 version scored 6.5
the ps3 version of tiger woods scored 8.5, the same score as the 360 version.
you guys do the math.

[MK_Red]

So far IGN has given it one of the lowest scores. Both 1UP and GameSpot gave it 7.5/10.

[Fix8donME]

IGN pulled the review last night, something about it not being approved. Game Informer posted 8.5/10.
