Has Its Moments

The premise here is you are a stunt driver and must follow precisely the direction that is given you in filming several different styles of movies.
The game has great action (big jumps, explosions, crashes) but it can be an extremely frustrating endeavor. The reshoots (meaning you didn't do it like the director wanted) come fast and furious until you can memorize the entire run. If you're an achievement-hound (Xbox 360) then this is not the game for you. Only the most determined gamers need to attempt to forage all the achievements out of this game (like getting a 5-star rating in every scene - not gonna happen). I'd go mad before I accomplished that goal.
But it does have its moments of fun - especially the "Dukes of Hazzard" knock-off scenes where you get to drive the "General Stuart" and a big ol' monster truck. The jumps are big fun. But the game gets very technical - especially towards the end - so be sure to get all the basic moves down before moving on: reverse-180 turns, two-wheel driving, that kind of stuff.
I enjoyed it as a rental but would never have the patience to play for an extended period of time. With that, I still gave it a 7.
