My hands-on demo of Stuntman: Hollywood was only 15 minutes long, but it was the best 15 minutes I spent at Summer Game Fest. I've never played the original games, but even without the rosy tint of nostalgia this is a fantastic arcade driving game that already has me eager to revisit its stages again and again to complete the perfect run.
As the name suggests, Stuntman: Hollywood puts you in the driver's seat of a car performing stunts for various action blockbusters. Your director shouts out instructions to you alongside visual indicators along the track, prompting you to, say, drift around a corner, launch off a ramp, and narrowly squeeze past an oncoming car. It's a bit like having a rally co-driver warn you of upcoming turns, just with a lot more explosions along the way.
