First off, this IS a very good game. Just be wary of what you are getting. If you want GT3, then buy it, this game is technical, repetitive, frustrating, however, very rewarding when finished. Some of the stunts are extremely difficult and seem impossible at first, but how can you match the satisfication when you beat it and then watch the replay as a movie trailor?

I didn't like the game that much at first. But, once I got past the first movie and got more into the stunts and wanted to go back and do them better, the replay value immediately went up and the game went into steady rotation in my ps2.

You are NOT buying a racing game or GT3. You ARE buying a game similar to the liscense tests in Gran Turismo, only wayyyy cooler, with an interactive environment, directions, and realism that can't be beat. IF that is what you want, then buy this game.

Stuntman is all that it's name implies!...

It's always great to watch explosive vehicle scenes and dangerous firey jumps in huge blockbuster movies. In Stuntman, those life-&-death situations are all part of your day-by-day agenda of pleasing the director and making a huge hit that makes the movie millions. Like bieng a real stuntman, you make it happen yourself, no matter how many tries it takes, which, truly, every stuntman must go through. ... In this game, you do have to get things as exact as possible-just like real stuntmen. You have to do 180 degree turns and barrel-rolls in multiple cars very precisley, just like real stuntmen. The name alone, Stuntman, must get those "frustrating" parts across to people so that they see how much like real life this game has turned out to be. It's very fun to do these great action scenes, and you do it for different movies. What's also cool is that you start out as a rookie for a low-budget movie, and soon with dedication, your the coolest guy on the movie set performing daredevil tricks in multi-million box-office smashes! And after your movie is finished, all of your hard worked scenes are put together in a great movie trailer. There were times when I was saying, "Wow! I actually did that?" Stuntman is truly a great game for any gamer. With great missions, heart-pounding explosions and the feel of adrenaline after every perfectly executed stunt, this game lets you know how it feels to truly be a Hollywood Stuntman!

Yes, Stuntman is a hard game. Yes it is frustrating when you have to start over on a stunt. Yes, the load times are somewhat slow. NO, THIS IS NOT A BAD GAME!

Yes it could be improved on, but most games can. Yes GTA3 and GT3 are both fantasticly fun games. But are those not frustrating? Any decent game should be a little frustrating, otherwise it would be too easy, and you people would complain about that. I would not reccomned this game for people that are not patient or are looking for a game like GTA3. This game is not open-ended, it is very strict about what you do unlike Driver or GTA3.

The Stunt Constructor is very fun to play with, but you cannot add many items before the memory gets full. By playing through the levels you can unlock more items to add to your stunts.

Bad things about this game, and things to improve on:

Load times are slow, and you need to wait eveytime you want to re-start a stunt.

Lacks good replays. There is no Director Studio like in Driver which added much fun, and there is no slow motion. I can't believe they didn't add slow motion to a game where you crash cars. Also, the Auto Camera in replay mode is pretty bad at finding your car at the right times.

Music gets annoying in the different movies, especially when you have to replay the levels all the time to get the stunt right.

Needs stunt fly-through to show you where you need to go, and what the objectives are rather than some FMVs about roughly what you need to do.

This is still a good game, but needs improvements. Just do not buy it if you want something like GTA3 - they are NOT THE SAME type of game! Otherwise, buy it!

I had been waiting for stuntman since I heard of it.I really had a fun 30 times try for a single stunt.The game can be annoying at times,but it all pays off.Especially the trailer you get to see of the movie.It's pretty cool how you get to see your actual stunt on the trailer.The stunt constructor mode is also pretty cool.You could really have a fun time flying 5o feet in the air and slaming right into a pile of cars.I think stuntman still rocks even though the graphics could have been better.I loved stuntman , and think you should give it a try too.

I waited and waited for this game to come out and when the game finally came out i went to wal-mart and bought it with no hesitation. I really liked the game alot and played it for about 3 hours and got the first scene for the first movie done. I unfortunatly could not get past the second scene without the help of my friend casey. once he beat the second scene i got all the way to the monster truck arena challenge. This game is not for gamers that like easy games. This has been the first game i didnt beat in a 24 hour period. so if you think you got what it takes to beat this game and you want something to keep you entertained buy it!

I REALLY wanted to like this game.

I saw this game at Blockbuster and I thought that I would fall in love with it. That is not the case. As you have read reviews from other players you can tell that this game is entirely too frustrating and the load screens are absolutely annoying. They are. Don't buy this game, instead I would suggest you merely rent it. Graphics and handling are good though.

Good WITH cheats

I like this game so much I want to keep it forever. The first thing I liked is the short video they have on stunts in the old days. Then they show you a present day stunt where a car pops a tire jumpng over a truck. That is really cool!
The game is hard - but I still like it. I can't get past the first level. The best part is when you get to build your own track, and do your own stunts.

An outstanding and amazingly creative game

Stuntman is simply great. Its the most challenging game you'll find around now. Don't be fooled by the 1 star ratings of those who grew frustrated- DIFFICULTY doesn't make a game BAD. If you're looking for a game with great physics, gameplay, innovation and graphics, Stuntman is definitely the game you're looking for. An average score of three stars is grossly underrated! This game is rated TEEN for more than one reason.

STRESS FREE for me

this game is stress free because i got the cheats. see i know that i shouldn't be telling people this but what the... i played this game w/o any cheats just the strategy guide and it was extremely difficult to land stunts. so a couple of days ago i was looking is a EGM magazine and in the back i found the cheats for the game. i think it was the september or october issue.

i think this review should be the most helpful to you because look at it this way, you pay [money] for this game give or take and it is frustrating so why give atari the satifaction of knowing that they basically ripped you off for [money amount]. i say enjoy the game because it really is fun. now i can enjoy the game by unlocking cars, stunt circuits and everything else. and best of all i don't waste my money.

if you don't have acess the EMG magazine you might give up on the game. but don't give up yet on the stunt genre because it isn't fair for the upcomming CHASE for Xbox, i think this one will be fun. OVERALL: STUNTMAN REPLAY VALUE: 4/5 SOUND: 4/5 INGENUITY: 5/5 GRAPHICS: 5/5 CHEATS 6/5 (THE BEST) CONTROLS 4/5
