Yes, this is a perfect game. I've played this god knows how many times and this latest playthrough just confirmed how elegantly designed and totally original Stuntman is, with Ignition making the formula more accessible whilst still retaining the demand for perfectionism to achieve its highest scores. A host of varied levels and techniques keep you on your toes, whereas the gameplay and precise timing evokes the rhythm genre, except you're playing the car as beautifully as you would an instrument. Every turn, reverse and smash must be orchestrated to the tune or failure is inevitable. It is a formula that is inherently frustrating, but simultaneously utterly perfect. Always will be a favourite.
