Excellent game demanding skill and patience to obtain perfection. Incredible stunts and tons of replay value.
So after leaving Blockbuster with a brand new 360 game that I had purchased for $19 my expectations of this game were very low. After playing the other game I had purchased I popped in Stuntman to give it a whirl. Within the first 30 minutes game play I fell in love. It has the same game play mechanics of Burnout and Tony Hawk.
This means you can blaze through the game in under 6-8 hours and experience all the content from the core levels
to the odd jobs and sprinkling in some multi player fun. The real fun of this game lies in the trail and error so if you
hate trial and error and don't like practicing to improve your game play this game is certainly not for you. And believe me you
will replay levels over and over until you are just about ready to quit. This is where skill comes in because believe me when you
finally nail that stunt perfectly and are kicking back watching the replay you will feel warm inside.
I was also surprised by how many stunts the game contains. There are 6 main movie sets each containing 6 stunts. There is also
an od jobs section containing 6 stunts. A quick fix section containing 12 stunts total(Free Style and Directed). And finally
the constructor challenges where you are judged on your performance in self made levels using a preset amount of objects.
Needless to say you will invest alot of time if you are a purist who loves getting 100% in a game.
I can't honestly say how good multi player is because unfortunately there have been no games active every time I try to play.
BTW P.M. me for my gamertag if you ever want to play because it's going to drive me crazy having all the achievements but not being
able to get the multi player ones. They have also included online rankings and Monthly as well as all time leader boards which is a huge bonus considering you can upload your scores.
To sum up my review I rated this game a 9.0 because it has been the first game I have played in a long time that
has held my attention and kept me entertained. The feeling of accomplishment gained from seeing 5 stars in a level is highly rewarding. The stunts are insane at some points and when you go back and watch the replay its hard to imagine how you managed pulling off such insane stunts
in the first place.
