Stuntman: Ignition

Remember that crappy Stuntman game that Atari made a few years back? We dug the concept, but the do– it –perfectly–or–else–suffer–through–another–ninety– second–load–screen execution left much to be desired. Well, THQ is here to take another crack at it. The result: surprisingly good. Once again, you’re a stuntman—duh—trying to make a fussy film director happy. You get five fuck-ups this time for each stunt before the director yells "Cut!" Of course, get through the stunt with the fewest amount of fuck-ups and the higher your rating for each mission will be. Imagine doing 120 miles-per-hour through a house that's being devoured by lava, hitting a ramp over a series of flame-engulfed fallen trees, then bouncing off an exploding 18-wheeler, and—well, you get the idea. Bottom line: Evel Knievel would be proud.
