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.

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.

One of the best early racing sims

The Good
The Track Editor is a definate bonus. One of the first games including one, this was so far ahead of it's time most people didn't even understand how to use it! We're talking 1990 here!

The Bad
The graphics are kind of choppy (not unlike many of today's new and "ground breaking" games) and the whole story line with the other racers and their grudges is kind of cheesy.

The Bottom Line
The game is a worthy buy, but sadly as is many other great games it is no longer for sale. It is a fast paced and realistic racing sim. The best feature is definately the built in editor. The game features many, many seperate soprts cars and opponents to race against. Be careful, though, when you crash you're out, unlike many other games which just flip you back over and aloow you to keep going unharmed.

Just Ok

The Good
It was a neat idea.

Instead of a racing on a race track, race on a stunt track.

The Bad
I'm not too much of a racing fan, but I've seen better.

The Bottom Line
No real reason to play this one, with so many other better racing games out there.

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! :-)
