Stuntman: Ignition

During THQ's financial conference call with analysts, company execs explained why two of their highly anticipated in-house games, Stuntman Ignition and Jucied 2: Hot Import Nights, did not do as well as anticipated in sales and reviews. For Stuntman, the execs stated that they felt the game's design was too old-fashioned and highly scripted compared to the more open games that involve more player's choice that the publisher feels are more popular now. For Juiced, THQ felt that giving the developer, Juiced Games, a total of six different platforms to develop all at once was too ambitious and that going forward THQ will only give their game developers no more than three SKUs to work on at once.

THQ has today announced its decision not to pursue its Juiced and Stuntman intellectual properties. Both franchises saw releases in 2007, with Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights and Stuntman: Ignition each releasing across multiple platforms. Although not receiving universal acclaim both titles were not without merit, Stuntman in particular proving great addictive fun for high-score junkies.

After 2 weeks in the charts Bioshock is still the best selling game in the UK, holding off competion from new release Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08, while another new entry Stuntman Ignition came in 9th.

The clock has been ticking for weeks but now the time has come........Become a Stuntman Once again!

Again some bad news today for PlayStation 3 owners. THQ today released its new release list for their upcoming games, which includes Stuntman: Ignition. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 2 versions are due out in August 2007 but the PlayStation 3 version has been delayed to October 2007, which is another two months after the initial release. This follows news of the PlayStation 3 versions of Colin Mcrae: DiRT, The Darkness (Only in Europe delayed), Medal of Honor: Airborne and now Stuntman: Ignition being delayed. This can't be good news for Sony if nearly from every multiplatform game the PlayStation 3 version is released later than other platforms.

With Stuntman: Ignition, THQ and Paradigm Entertainment aim to put gamers into the shoes of the world's most dangerous stunt driver. Featuring a number of movies with action sequences that put the car chase in The Rock to shame, nailing the game's chaotic scenes takes patience, practice and, most of all, lots of skill.

Despite its detrimentally frustrating difficulty, the original Stuntman on PS2 had one huge positive going for it: a kick-ass concept. Relocating the racing genre to a blockbuster movie set is genius, as driving through explosions and rocketing off ramps is way more exciting than simply motoring towards the finish line. The 360 / PS3 / PS2 sequel, Stuntman: Ignition, is hoping to do that concept the justice it deserves. As we reported in our recent hands-on impressions, the gameplay is much
