Making the mistake of being tempted by a bargain game

[stigmundfreud]

Yesterday whilst in the shops I saw Tesco heavily discounting some xbox360 games....

... one of the games grabbed my attention, Stuntcar driver Ignition.

No wonder it was discounted,its fking st. ITs terrible. I have not had the misfortune of buying such a st game. I thought the piss poor Knightrider game on the PS2 was the worse game ever, I was sadly wrong.

AVOID this game at all costs, even if its £5 because it is utter utter crud.

I bought cannonball run for the PS2 ages ago... and it was awful.

Stay out of the bargain bins!

I liked that game. I played the previous "Stuntman" games too. Do you think it's a bad game or just not to your taste?

[stigmundfreud]

I had the original on PS2 and it was good. This is just awful. The graphics are last gen, very shoddy and sloppy. The controls are wrong and you have no way to customise the lay out. The game just is not fluid.

The original was excellent, this one seems to have gone 2 steps backwards in comparrison

Played the demo for this ages ago and was completely put off. I've also made the mistake of buying crap games in the past, trade it in before you forget how bad it is and pick it up again in a few months time, seems to get worse every time you play

Quite enjoyed the first one, played around 20 seconds of the demo for this one and turned it off, never to return.
It felt like the kind of game i would have loved as an 8 year old or summat.

I should have looked on XBL for a demo but it was only 15 notes and figured it couldnt be that bad so long as it followed the original. Alas it doest follow the original

The only cheap game I've bought has been Fuzion Frenzy 2, and while its not great, its quite fun to play once in a while.

If you want a cheap game try something on the Arcade, Super Bomberman is good as is Streets of Rage 2.

I have super bomber man, one of the best games ever released - PH multiplayer some time?

[Polarbert]

Yeah can do. My gamertag is the same as my username.

I have a 360 so download is out of the question (plus my morals!) There are sometimes some classics that you meant to buy, are no longer in favour so end up reduced to clear.

If anyone wants a pristine copy of Stuntcar Ignition I can send it you for postage. (Shipping is £15)

You've done a good job at selling it to us so far

Yes but you have to wait a long time for the good games to hit the bucket, CoD4 is still £40 in most places, i only really download to test as a demo, not for Sexbox or PS3 but Pc where you really do need to ensure they work properly and are half decent, plus the really old games aren't stocked anywhere.

Any one remember Street Legal racing? Loved that damn game, why no one has taken the concept and done it properly i will never know!
