Great game, read no other reviews.

Introduction:

In this game, you play the role of a nameless stuntman who is attempting to climb the ladder of success - the first steps being the kind of movies that look, and are, low quality. The kind that have narrators explaining the plot during the previews. The kind that never really make it to the theatres. Then as you finish more stunts, you complete the movie, your hard work is acknowledged, and you climb the higher steps. Them being the big Hollywood movies that people wait in long lines for and then sleep on the ground when the sequel comes out.

Difficulty:

Now if you are looking for a long, yet simple game, you might as well stop reading right now. If you're good, you can still finish the game in a moderate amount of time despite the fact that this game is reeeealy HARD! Not like: darn I never wanna have to do that again! Like having fistfuls of hair, holes in the walls, and your parents lecturing you about threatening inanimate objects with inappropriate language. In every stunt you will be doing the kind of average things that real actors could do, such as passing cars and breaking boxes, and hopefully somewhere towards the end there will be a stunt worth doing - like a cannon-roll or a corkscrew jump. But also in every stunt, you will finish all the semi-difficult things you just get board with, and inevitably screw up near the finish and have to re-do the entire stunt. Probably because the gawd-awful director will instruct you to late and then scream his head off at you for going the wrong way or missing the target.

Graphics/Sound

The graphics during the interactive part of the game are incredible. much attention to detail and awe-inspiring designs. The courses in which the stunts are performed are beautiful and based on actual places. When you finish a stunt, you can see it on replay using fast-paced, constantly changing camera views. When you finish an entire movie, you can what the general plot for it was by watching the preview. The sound is to the second and original. Different revving sounds for each vehicle and background noise that is noticeable but never distracting. The directors voice could possible use a little work considering he talks like a computer. Around building, never around the building. The background music is usually appropriate but the music stays the same for the whole movie, and throw in the fact that you will repeat each stunt 40 gazillion times, the music can get a little repetitive.

Excitement:

During each particular stunt, you can perform the seemingly ridiculous task and then when you accidentally skip over one, you can use the replay to see what the stunt looks like when you don't do it. This does not mean, however, that you can skip over every sub-stunt that doesn't look important in the replay, because failing too many of them will mean you ultimately fail the stunt. Then the parts that you realize to always look the best, always seem to end up in the movie trailer. Not to mention that doing well on a stunt will reward you with new cars and toys to play with in the stunt arena where you can design your most creative stunts and perform them in front of an audience. (I sort of dislike this feature because you are limited on the number of stunt toys you can fit in the arena)

Replayability:

Now it may seem that replayability on this game is a ridiculous suggestion since you will retry every stunt until your thumbs are worked to the bone, but after completing each increasingly difficult stunt you get better at them and the early, yet difficult scenes become quickly completed. You will be able to see you and your stunts gradually get better.

Extras:

There are a number of DVD extras, including the stuntman commercial, making of stuntman, a stuntman demo, Driver 3 preview, and many others.
