Game Info
Summary
Stuntman on the Game Boy Advance surprised me with its surprisingly deep toolbox for a handheld. Velez & Dubail built it on a tweaked V‑Rally 3 engine, which lets the tiny screen handle both high‑speed chases and the precise timing a stunt‑man needs. The game splits into three single‑player experiences: a Career mode that strings together movie‑set challenges, a Stunt Construction sandbox where you place rigs and then test them, and a set of Driving Games that feel like bite‑sized vehicle‑control drills. I love how the Construction mode turns the GBA into a mini‑studio, letting you design crazy jumps and then watch the pixel‑perfect execution. Critics seemed to agree, giving the handheld version “favorable” scores on Metacritic, a stark contrast to its console sibling’s mixed reception. The release rolled out in June 2003 in North America, then quickly followed in Australia and Europe, making it a brief but bright spot in the early‑2000s handheld lineup.
Storyline
In Stuntman’s career mode you’ll shoot six distinct films, each set in a different locale and genre. The movies range from gritty gangster capers to high‑octane spy spoofs, giving the player a varied stunt‑driving experience.
The first film, *Toothless in Wapping*, drops you into London’s docks for a Snatch‑style gangster story. *A Whoopin’ and a Hollerin’* riffs on The Dukes of Hazzard with rural Louisiana chases, while *Blood Oath* sends you to Bangkok for a John Woo‑inspired shoot. *Conspiracy* is a Tom Clancy‑type thriller set in snowy Switzerland, featuring a snowmobile and an RV. *The Scarab of Lost Souls* channels Indiana Jones in Egypt, using a jeep, motorcycle, armored tank car, and troop carrier. Finally, *Live Twice for Tomorrow* parodies James Bond in Monaco with sports cars, a mini, and a sedan.
Between each production you must wow crowds by performing stunts in a stadium, keeping the audience’s adrenaline high before the next cinematic set.
