Stuntman: Ignition Preview - PlayStation 3

Fall from a tall building, roll a brand new car... if you fancy a stint as the unknown stuntman then look no further than the forthcoming Stuntman: Ignition. Due on the PlayStation 3 in August, you'll take up the stuntman mantle for six films, each a distinct level of the game. You start out in a San Francisco drive-fest reminiscent of Steve McQueen's Bullit and progress through five other movies perfecting ever-crazier stunts behind the wheel of a variety of vehicles. We've had a hands-on early look at Stuntman: Ignition and we've got a full preview of what to expect when it's released to the PlayStation 3.

Stuntman: Ignition preview for PlayStation 3
It’s every little boy’s fantasy isn’t it? Doing those cool jumps, risking your life jumping out of buildings, setting yourself on fire and getting to meet Cameron Diaz? Being a stuntman always seems glamorous, until you realise that it’s underpaid, dangerous and that it isn’t actually Cameron Diaz, just a slightly chubbier lookalike designed for stunts. Still, Stuntman: Ignition looks like being much more fun than the real thing.
There are six levels, divided into various film projects for starters. Initial film Overdrive is essentially Steve McQueen’s Bullet flick, set over the ridiculous hills of San Francisco with ample opportunity to throw retro cars further than a Matchbox Capri attached to a cheap firework. The original prequel was developed by the makers of Driver and there’s more than a passing resemblance to the classic game in Stuntman: Ignition. Over the course of each level, rather than doing point to point missions like Driver, you’ll be asked to get from A-Z while going through set checkpoints and being rated on your cinematic credentials. Perform life endangering powerslides, crumple the required cardboard boxes and jump through flames and you’ll make the grade and move on to the next film set.
