Jackie Chan Stuntmaster (PS1)

Description

JACKIE CHAN STUNTMASTER for SONY PlayStation 1 / PS1. This preowned game is in good playing condition and includes manual / booklet + game disc inside CD case. Does not included cover slips. Some light superficial markings / cosmetic scratches, but these are very minor imperfections which do not affect game play in any way. Game has been tested and plays perfectly.

International stuntman, martial artist, and filmmaker extraordinaire Jackie Chan leaps onto the PlayStation in an action- packed game of his own. Featuring Chan’s signature moves, voice, and humor, players guide the stuntmaster through 15 levels of martial arts mayhem to save his grandfather and retrieve a stolen package from a gang of crooks.Jackie Chan Stuntmaster focuses on both Chan’s martial arts expertise and his agility as a stuntman. The fighting system is based on his signature fighting style–in addition to throws and combos, specialized moves are incorporated to allow players to use chairs, boxes, ladders, bottles, and even a fish. At the conclusion of the game, players are treated to a “making of” video, which showcases footage of Chan at his motion-capture session.

Superstar Jackie Chan is known for his fast kicks and fancy stunts–so it is no surprise that he is finally getting his own video game. Jackie can bounce off walls, use ordinary objects as weapons, break things, and, of course, kick and punch the daylights out of any thug who stands in his way.

Like his movies, the game does have some semblance of a plot. It seems that Jackie’s grandfather has been kidnapped (while Jackie was stuffing his face at a café, no less). The action star must fight his way through a number of back alleys and abandoned factories to rescue him. To carry out his mission, Jackie must collect red and gold dragon tokens and take on some pretty mean bosses.

Short movie scenes feature a computer-generated Chan with all the facial expressions fans have come to know and love as well as his own voice acting. Jackie Chan Stuntmaster might not exactly be A Rumble on the Bronx, but it is the next best thing to seeing Jackie on the silver screen. –Robb Guido

Pros:

• • Funny cutscenes featuring Jackie’s face and voice
  • Lots of stunts and weapons à la his movies Cons:
    • Jackie could have used even more moves
