I played stuntman I and was blown away. I'm a big fan of Driver I and II(III was OK but the introduction of 3rd person shooting was a bad idea) so when stuntman came out I was thinking that it was the return of the awesome driving style of the original driver and I was right. It was a little different with all of the director/movie stuff but that adds its own element. So when the new stunt man came out I was excited. Playing the new game on my PS2 was a big let down. The game interface is a little more confusing, the graphics are grainy and choppy(probably because it was made for the ps3?), and that awesome driving style is gone and replaced with like something out of old need for speed games(which some people like but I think is something gamefly doesn't let you write). Granted I only played the first 2 scenes because I was so disgusted with it but before that I was prepared to shell out the totally unreasonable 40-50$ price tag for what I think is just another letdown sequel made only to generate money. Game companies seems to occasionally take a good thing and quickly pinch out a sequel with a lot of hype and little/no improvement. In this case they have gone backwards from stuntman I and totally disgraced the series. Please bring back driver without shooting entirely(just "driving", like the name suggests, what a concept!) and also with the 2player facet, please.
