(...) Well Actually their problem is lack of patience.This game is to go behind the screen and perform stunts for films.If you think that you have patience ,only then by this game.

Some fools have rated it low because they say that it has long loading screens but if you want it run fast,then without puting any DVD open your PS2 and then press TRIANGLE button and then change the speed of your PS2.I have done so and now i have that loading screen just for 10 Seconds.

Well if you have patience i hope you will enjoy this fantastic game.

awesome stunts for the patient

I've been playing this game for a couple of days now. I'm almost to the end of it, but its only because thats pretty much all ive been doing. But even after you beat it there is a really fun stunt arena to make your own stunts in. I can understand how some (or appearantly a lot) of people would get frustrated with this. But if you have patience you will love, you might want to give it a rent though to see if it's your style. The stunts take almost perfect driving to complete, but you'r really happy with yourself after you've completed a really hard one. Probably the worst thing about Stuntman is the load times if you mess up. It probably wouldnt be as frustrating if you didn't have to wait so long. The graphics and sounds of the cars are really good, but it could really use some more songs, but then again, there aren't really songs during the movie stunts, just music. After you complete each movie you will be treated with a preview of it with your stunts edited in. It's pretty cool looking. The physics in this game are great and when you wreck lots of little parts and pieces of your car will blast off, according to the speed and angle of your wreck. So, all in all, its a great game if you will put up with the needed perfection and the load times. It's filled with great action and wrecks for all to enjoy.

Too hard to be fun

I rented this game thinking it would be fun. It certainly looked nice enough. It is pleasing to the eye, the graphics are really clean and well done, but the gameplay is so painfully difficult that the only thing I found enjoyable was turning off the machine and boxing the disc back up for rental return.
I spent a couple hours trying to get past the difficulty hoping I would get the hang of it after a little bit. NOPE! This game should be played only by people with extreme patients, and professional gaming skill, not for the mass of gamers who want to simply have fun.
The grossly inadequate amount of time given to complete each stunt will either make you really excited to try harder or really angry and want to snap the disc in two, set it on fire, and mail the unrecognizable clump back to the cruel game developers.
The game is a rental at best for about %80 of the gamers out there. Save your money. Save your sanity. Don't buy this game without trying it out first!

AHHH!!! HORRIBLE!!!

Yeah, we've all seen the commerical, "while all those pretty little actors are sitting in their trailers, being pampered, and fond over, the stuntmen are out having all the frickin' fun". Just that line makes you want to go over to Circuit City and buy this game. STOP! DO NOT DO THAT! This game is a horrible waist. Truly an awesome video game idea, but it could've been brought to life on a totally different approach.

The first level starts off with a few simple tasks. Or so they seem. You complete the first task, "hey, no problem, I've got this nailed", then, almost immediatly, the director shouts out another task you have to do usaully within 5-10 seconds. Despite how terribly hard, annoying, and frustrating it is, I just have to wonder how the makers thought this would be fun? I mean, completing task after task after task. Now, in games like Grand Theft Auto, the whole task thing's fun. You can actully get out the car and do other things, but not in this game! You are strictly stuck onto one direct path for each level, and there is no time for rest. As I said before, all it is is do this, do that, do this, you failed, do it again, time up, restart level, do this, do that, do this, do that, do this, you failed, start over...".

Please, spare yourself and rent it first. My friend and I both rented it and didn't even want to play it more than once. The first time we played was for about 2 hours (2 hours I could have been sleeping), and in that whole time, we did not even pass the first level. Now, to end this review, I'll be as frank as possibly: this game [is a mediocre piece of gaming].

GREAT BUT HARD!!!

This game is a little too hard for someone who doesn't
have a driving game skills. But in every mission the guy
(director) will tell you what to do and you have
to do it!! If not, you'll get a red mark. once the
Space bar full of red mark, you will fail your mission.

I hate it when I suppose to chase the bad guy! if you
loose him, you failed the mission, If you're not complette
the stunts (objectives), you failed the mission, and if
Wreck or overturn your car you failed the mission.

This game is amazing but a little hard for people who
hate driving.

Supreme gaming is my bag!

This game rocks the house yo! I love it and my sisters love it their boyfriends even love it. I'm a fan of Driver so this was a must have. My mommy tucks the game in with me every Tuesday and Friday. It makes me want to go out and take my mom's minivan off a ramp into a muddy ditch!

After the novelty wears off, you'll wonder why you bought it

Stuntman is extremely overated. The theme is interesting enough that I can see why some people defend the game so strongly. Acting out stunts from your favorite movies is something anyone wants to do. Yet poor design decisions and sloppy controls has made Stuntman much, much harder than it needs to be. You MUST rent this game before you buy it, trust me.

I just don't like being forced to do the same, limited thing over and over again in a game. You have to perform the EXACT stunts the game wants you to, in the schedule it requires, and the slightest mistake means instant death. Hitting ANYTHING in the level, any building, car, or even a fence or sign, and you are forced to restart. Fall behind even 1 second and the game only gets harder. And speaking of time, I don't like waiting 20 seconds for the game to load after just 15 seconds of gameplay. When you are forced to replay a level 50-60 times, I would estimate that you've got 10-20 HOURS of load time to sit through. It gets old fast.

The game physics are extremely chaotic. Collisions and jumps at any speed or angle can cause a flip or spin-out all too easy, and usually force you to restart. Even minor steering adjustments can cause a spin-out and cost you a hard played level. Hitting a small curb has actually flipped my car onto its back, more than once.

The levels are tight and restrictive, with most obstacles appearing suddenly from behind a hill or corner, with no time to react. You memorize this game, not play it, and as you play each level encountering something new will most likely kill you immediately. There will never be that magic moment you find in games like GTA3 or Tony Hawk, when you've learned the skills to start improvising, reacting to new obstacles as you encounter them and making up your game as you go. No sir, not this game.

Calling Stuntman "difficult" isn't accurate enough. Frustrating, too restrictive, poor controls, and annoying are better descriptors. I wouldn't even recommend renting this game unless you enjoy insane obstacles. Buy it with risk.

THIS GAME IS TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had bought this weak crap in 7/16/03. If you think it was cool on the comerical, well your wrong! This game is so frustrating and it's not that fun. When you on the "stunt constructor" mode and you go up the ramp, it is fonny! When you get close to beat the hole game is was hard and gay. I could even beat the very last mission! Don't even buy this game because it is not good as you thought it was on t.v.

Superb!
