Overview:
As we continue our final march we take a look at this short lived series that sits close to QC's heart, the most well known stunt sequence simulator series - Stuntman. Building on the graphical work by Driver series studio Reflections. Each mission sees you attempting to carefully complete a series of driving maneuvers in line with the commands of a film director, your performance scored and successful runs footage spliced into CG sequences to make faux movie trailers. A year later some crazy madman decided the GBA was best suited to a version too which saw the little handheld that could deliver a faithful adaptation based on the impressive work done to bring the Driver series to handheld. Following the success of the original the rights to the series were bought by THQ who set to task on a sequel. The game that followed used the same set up but added a strike system to give more room for error on a run but the impressive visual standard of the original was lost and the game failed to stand out meaning the series ended as abruptly as it had begun.
Did you love this series action or did the experience make you yell Cut?
