Stunts
Description official descriptions
Stunts (4D Sports Driving outside of US) is a 3D car racing simulation that puts emphasis on racing on stunt tracks. The game contains a variety of cars, courses and opponents to choose from (who represent a difficulty level). The game provides unusual stunt objects including loops, corkscrews and jumps. Race tracks contain three types of surfaces: paved road, gravel road and ice. Each of them offer different grip and traction. There is also grass and water that surround roads. The former slows down the car and the latter is lethal and the car instantly crashes. It is possible to watch races in instant replay from different camera angles. A track editor is included as well.

Coming from the creators of the "Test Drive" catastrophe: A FABULOUS GAME!!
The Good
OK, so the cars were only 3, but it's just too much fun to play this game, the blowing up cars, the falling bridges, it's just great, and considering that "TD II: The Duel" was released at about the same time, the graphics were a total surprise from the developing companies (Accolade, Distinctive Software), great game.
The Bad
Well, there were like THREE CARS in a game considered almost revolutionary for the time!!!! Nothing else though...
The Bottom Line
Great game that can be considered "fun", it's really nothing except addictive and fun, and the graphics were okay!
8.5/10

The Good
-The unlimated tracks! Design a stunt track, how can you go wrong with that one.
-The graphics are good.
The Bad
-Not enough things to place on your track.
-Can't make multiple hill elevations.
The Bottom Line
A fun racing game with many cars, unlimited tracks, and a lot of replay value. Pure fun, especially if you have a friend with it, then you can see who can do better on different tracks.

Realistic? Not Really. Fun? You bet!
The Good
I played this about 5 years ago on my decked out 386. :)
I love this game. It doesn't have the best graphics, The sound is adequate, and the controls OK.
Although these are the games shortcomings, this game is completely addictive. The tracks that are included range from easy to challenging. But the great things about this is the track editor.
Creating your track is pretty easy. You have a Grid of sorts and pieces of track that you place down to create the track. Quick, easy and simple. I used to trade tracks with friends and try to make the best time to complete laps. A great competitive game in that sense.
The physics engine was not the best, but taking jumps and missing the landing ramp... or hitting a steep incline and making your car SOAR into the sky.... Or just witnessing an awesome crash over and over (thanks to the built-in replay camera) is just too fun.
The Bad
There wasn't a lot I didn't like... It was a great game!
The Bottom Line
A racing game that you can't take seriuously. Great fun.

Trivia
Okay, try this in real life: Drive real fast down a long, straight road, then do a huge jump, get airborne, and then (while in the air) slam on the brakes to slow down in time to make it around that nasty corner. Is it going to work? Nope, but it works in Stunts! ;-) Of course, this just makes the game more fun! :-)
