Ever wanted to be a Stuntman?

Well you can with Stuntman: Ignition

---

Expect to see things like this happen in the game

Being a stunt driver must be one of the coolest jobs ever. You get to drive fast cars under helicopters, through burning buildings, on huge frozen ice lakes, just about anywhere you can think of.

The problem is, most of us just can cut it in the real world, and before now there was precious little to supplement that other than the Asda car park and an over active imagination.

Until now, that is…

Stuntman: Ignition is released on 31^st August and will be available on PS3, Xbox 360 and PS2.

Cars at all angles, fire, pillagery - all in a day's work for a stuntman

To celebrate, our friends at THQ are offering you the chance to win your very own copy of the game plus a load of game merchandise.

Plunge into the adrenaline-fuelled role of a Hollywood stunt driver in Stuntman: Ignition, and master the most breathtaking, death-defying vehicle-based stunts ever filmed.  As the newest stuntman in Hollywood, you must rise to stardom by combining reckless manoeuvring with perfect execution to unlock big-budget blockbusters and lucrative commercial deals.

All you have to do to get your hands on the stunt based bounty is answer this question:

What American district is famous for being the home of movie studios and movie stars? 

A: Hollywood

B: Houston

C: Havana

 

Once you’ve worked out the answer (It’s a toughie, so we’ll understand if it takes you a while to get it), send an email including your name, address, phone number and format of choice to:[e-mail]

 

The closing date is Wednesday August 29^th, THQ’s decision is final.

What, you mean like Stuntman 1?

[philbf]

Well, considering stuntman one was classified as a bit of a missed opportunity, hopefully this one will do a better job. What I meant was, I'm surprised it didn't come out sooner on the most recent consoles, such as the xBox and ps3.

Can't wait for this, loved the first one and just pre-ordered this one, woo!

The 1st game was great but it was frustrating at times with the linear trial & error gameplay...Let`s hope the stunt track editor is still in it.

Played the demo for this one downloaded from Live.... same formula. "hit the car" "turn hard in the box" "hit the jump" "you missed the mark"

Wont be entering this competition, games (obviously) not my cup of tea, but top marks for the idea of the giveaway
