So Stuntman: Ignition is a pretty fun game
Posts
On the topic of the first one, what drove me nuts was how slow the game seemed. It might have just been the first film but everything was slow. The "press the X button harder to go faster" shit drove me nuts. The first film in Ignition was completely awesome. Lava everywhere, explosions, catching on fire, big jumps, just lots of fast paced action. That's the way to do it.
I'm seeing $20, $18 used. :? Anyone know where to get this cheap in the States?
Yup, I'm seeing it for the same locally.
Also, you do some pretty awesome/ridiculous shit in this game. Definitely try it out if you haven't.
I got mine for $11 shipped (used) from Amazon. It's probably around $15 through GameFly's used store, too.
God, last time I played that was 8 and it was on a computer with Windows 3.1 and a 5 and 1/4 inch floppy drive. I wasn't very good at it, seeing as how I had the coordination of a dying mongoose and only a loose understanding of the controls. But I loved bombing the city with eggs from a duck. Or flying a meteor with perfect precision into the Golden gate bridge.
I see what you did there...with all those mores, awesome.
That shit was Satanic.
Especially compared to the current price of tea and crumpets.
No where near as bad as the first one. The first one had insane load times, a director that would tell you to hit boxes after you pass them, and {although this was probably just me} the "hit the nitro button" when you reach a jump at the end, but I clearly remember it not telling me what the nitro button was. I couldn't find anything that listed the controls or edit the controls in game, which bothered me a lot too.

If it's a motorcycle stunt? Wheelie between required stunts? Okay!
It's an easier game to complete than the original and the director is less of a complete prick when you make a mistake. But it's more challenging than the first one, because if you're trying to 5 star a scene you have to string the whole stunt together. They really did learn from the complaints about the original. It's a shame there will likely be no more in the series.

My only problem was not knowing what the shit I was doing for the first few levels. But once that got sorted out it made me appreciate the simplicity of getting into this game. It's a great pick up and play, no bullshit kind of game.
Anyway, I have only gotten to the third movie and I am wondering about ranking. Does a star gained equal moving up a single place in the rankings? I looked through the manual but I couldn't find anything.
Roughly. Don't worry too much about it. If you average 3-4 stars for all movies and shows, you should reach the number one ranking pretty easily.

Nice.
I'm actually better at this game when drunk. It may prevent me from thinking too much and truly going from stunt to stunt than worrying too much about what comes next.

Yeah after renting this months ago and liking it, I instantly bought it when I saw it for $10 bucks at Blockbuster. Not even a moment hesitation, I love this kind of game, great for the compulsive perfectionist replay whore in al of us.
See, replaying usually annoys me. I get so annoyed when I screw up and have to start all over. But the segments are so short it doesn't bother me. In fact, it makes me want to keep doing them to get a better score (or at least a more seamless replay.)
ed: Also Rudetino and his "long takes." Prick.
I'm on the last movie right now and it's a butt kicker. I still have the commercial stuff to do.
I'll probably never play it online either.

Plus, me and my dad takes turns on it and it's great fun.
When it first came out there was no description of what it contained, I couldn't find anything about it online, and it cost $10. Since then I forgot all about it.
Anyone want to set up a time to play this online?
Stunt Island was awesome. Of course, only ten people ever played it since it came out back before anyone owned or had heard of a PC.
It was published by Disney.
I really loved that game. Smooth, plain polys and a huge variety of vehicles and missions. Too bad I lost the manual and it has that terrible "look up this statistic on this vehicle in the manual' copy protection.
Are you sure? I'm pretty sure commercials function just like movies. I believe I've messed up occasionally.

So you might have beaten it in training mode but it won't count as being cleared. Same thing with the one off stunts. I don't think I ever did beat the dirt bike explosion on ice thing.
