Stuntman:Ignition is what people always dreamed of , doing amazing stunts , from home ,right...
for the example ill give you two racing games :
Midnight Club
and
Forza Motorsport
for the racing game fans ,they will know the difference , while MC is an arcade game , meaning , super nitros , 230 mph cars , crazy backflips in air and stuff like that , FM is an simulation to the game , meaning , every bend , every touch of the throttle is importent , and every inch of movement is crutial for you.
this is the problem in this game , you have a bit of everything and thats a huge issue , when u first drive , nice , solid+ graphics , but when you need to make a drift , not so good , there is a mix between a simulated drift and an arcade drift , and i just didnt liked they way they maked the scheme for it , its not intuative at all , not by a long shot , the stunts are veried and awesome , a very good sound effects and dialogs , good challenges , and alot of mini challenges.
Graphics:
overall its good , but , you do expect a bit more from the ground engine to provide more sharpness for the models , when you play FM2 ,you see sort of "blush" of the cars , its realistic and cool , but i really loved the design for the cut-scenes and the whole level\movie presentation.. its awesome in anyway , also the level design is insane , just insane , you will get in some levels amazing effects ,especially when you are driving fast and everything is exploding.
8.5
Sound:
good overall sound , effects sound good , all the cut-scenes , directors talking , stuntman explaining stuff 2 you , everything sound the way it should be , good.
9.5
Gameplay:
like i said in the review text , i didnt liked the way the whole driving scheme is , but other than that , you have one ACTION button (activating anything might appear in the game) , gas , breaks , in this aspect its very intuative and straight forward but nice.

new stuff\overall change from the first game:
i love it , the stunts are good , explosive , and innovative as hell , anything sound and looks awesome , good level and car design giving this game a good thought that you can make a good game from ground up , even though the game needed a bit more polishing on the car models , not 2 serious though.

replay value:
overall ill have to say this is a huge game , 6 movies (6-8 scenes every movie thats a lot to get in 2 perfect rank) plus alot of cool challenges , some of them offer sort of "jobs" , doing extra movies , stunts , constructor mode(you get an arena , with few objectives on it , and you get some ramps and other stuff , and you need to make the ramps fit the type of challenges , meaning if you have a "get through a gap" objective , you will take two small metal tubes and put them , for an easy score , etc.
i think the multiplayer wont be that good , even though it has some modes , overall i think it will be a nice "local" game with friends.
8.5
overall its a good game , i wouldnt but it again , but i would rent it for sure , especially for a weekend with friends.
