    I love the idea of them having these really elaborate stunts and not even bothering to tell the stuntman what he needs to do until he's in the middle of doing the stunt

    I remember getting absolutely destroyed by the physics system in Stuntman, especially on Live Twice For Tomorrow. I'll never forget driving through a crowd as instructed and a chair got stuck under the front of the car and ground me to a halt and I failed again. Stuntman taught me a lot, but mainly it taught me the absolute limits of the torsional strength of a PS2 controller. I never broke it, because at the time I was a kid and couldn't afford a replacement, but I knew by the creaking that I was close.

    This is one of the game concepts that should absolutely return in the modern day. The idea of acting out movie scenes as a stuntman is so good. Hell imagine if they made one with official movies and the stunt directors from said movies assisting development.

    Original Stuntman was amazing for its difficulty. Ignition really ramped up the fun on the editor. You can place a LOT more items down in the sequel.

    • @teneesh3376
      @teneesh3376 2 роки тому +2

      Its biggest issue has to do with physical limitations. The terrible frame rate, only select fences or glass being destructible and restarting not being instant really pull this game back from being absolutely amazing and an easy recommendation. Not even emulation can fix this cause it doesn't work.
      I would love to see a remake if this to fix those major issues. Or at least a spiritual successor

    This game was such a unique game concept experience
    Bringing us the experience to do mission and some task by performing particular action by command of the director
    Especially, experience many different stereotypical movies with unique vehicles and Environment
    And this game gets slightly better when "Ignition" Still one of the underrated

      @scottthewaterwarrior 2 роки тому +2

      I didn't like Ignition as much, the physics just weren't there. Also found most levels far too easy, very generous time limits, no damage, and if you flipped the car it would just reset.

    Three things I remember about this game.
    1) I was amazed at how many parts the cars were made out of.
    2) I ALWAYS hit the train at least once just for LOL's
    3) the load times were L-O-N-G even by PS2 standards.

      Even if we failed miserably everytime, we had so much fun almost getting to the top

    I remember reviewers liking Stuntman and recommending it at the end of the year it was released. I played the demo but never could get a handle on the gameplay. It was like Driver's license test only flashier, and an entire game based on passing those "tests" or stunts.

  • @MeerkatChris
    @MeerkatChris 2 роки тому +6

    I got a demo disc packed with my first PS2 that had a few levels from this on it, and I played and replayed it a ton over the years before ever buying the full release! So much nostalgia for this. Great review as always.

  • @JZStudiosonline
    @JZStudiosonline 2 роки тому +3

    It would be cool to see this game come back as a AA title with wreckfest style physics. I can understand why it's not a continuing franchise, but it's still a fun concept and in this age of dlc they could easily make more "movies" and sell them for a few bucks each.

    I remember renting this game from a local movie rental place when I was in grade school. We'd go in there on a Friday evening after school and attached to it was a pizza place. So my family would grab two pies, a movie or two and then I'd go after this every other time. I had plenty of games, but Stuntman was one I did not. Many great memories.

    This was my favorite game of all time and still is one of my favorites today. At the same time, no game has ever pissed me off more. Have you ever played a game that made you shut down mentally, turn off the console and just walk away so you don't wind up smashing the console to pieces and then made you return to the game half an hour later because you just couldn't stay away? That was stuntman.

    I remember playing Stuntman a lot as a kid. :) It was fun to be in the shoes of a stuntman, driving around in different cars while making an movie. Plus the arena mode where you can create your own stunts was nice added bonus. It was cool to see your own driving in the movie trailer after you have completed all stunts for it. I did 100% this game.

  • @thetexanhusky
    @thetexanhusky 2 роки тому

    Assuming you haven't recorded the footage for it yet, I have a trick that you can use for the game's sequel:
    While trying to string it (getting 5 stars) can be difficult in Stuntman Ignition, you do NOT have to worry about not making any mistakes, since you can make as many mistakes as you want (as long as you do not hit all 5 strikes before the scene ends). If you make mistakes during a scene, but manage to string your score by the end of the scene, you'll still be able to get 5 stars.
    I figured out this trick while doing that stunt for the 4th movie in the game, Overdrive, which involved a fire truck. I felt a sense of relief just knowing this very thing I hadn't known about when I first played the game well over a decade ago.

    It's unique but understandable even if annoying trial and error. It isn't much license test as it is obstacle course with a time limit and no mess ups. It reminds me of the later parts of Juiced 2 with the perfect single continuous drifts and they are a pain to do. I only have Ignition but still noticed a lot of similar elements even if graphics and differences are there.
    Only played Destruction Derby by the PS Classic, never played a Driver game and clearly not played the original Stuntman. I'm curious but they were very different than I expected.
    The era of creative racing/driving game ideas though we're and still are great.
    I got Ignition from a friend passing on their PS2 games (Ignition, Battlefield 2 Modern Combat, Juiced 2) and was surprised the first time I put it in.

I'll never forget when I finally made it to the last level by myself late one night, the X-Games were on at the same time, so during commercials I'd switch back over to the game and try to get a run in real quick. It was a late August night and I had the AC blasting...great times. And man did I feel like a Greek God when I finally beat that fuckin thing haha.
    Also, when the 2nd one came out my girlfriend bought it for me for xmas, and me and like 7 friends ended up playing it all night on New Years Eve. We would take turns playing and were all drinking and screaming at the screen, cheering each other on. It was a blast.
