Stunts
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.

Coming from the creators of the "Test Drive" catastrophe: A FABULOUS GAME!!
The Good
OK, so the cars were only 3, but it's just too much fun to play this game, the blowing up cars, the falling bridges, it's just great, and considering that "TD II: The Duel" was released at about the same time, the graphics were a total surprise from the developing companies (Accolade, Distinctive Software), great game.
The Bad
Well, there were like THREE CARS in a game considered almost revolutionary for the time!!!! Nothing else though...
The Bottom Line
Great game that can be considered "fun", it's really nothing except addictive and fun, and the graphics were okay!
8.5/10
DOS · by Jim Fun (206) · 2002
Might be the most addictive racer ever!
The Good
You can drive around on the included tracks against the clock or others which is quite fun but the longevity of this game is so great because of the track editor that lets you create new tracks to try. This way you can trade them with friends and have hours of fun trying to beat each other's tracks. You can place all kinds of crazy stunts like loops, tricky curves and even corkscrews and much more. The graphics aren't super but good for a game of that time I think. Gameplay is also amazing for such an old game, especially with the F1- car. All people who I showed this game loved this!
The Bad
Not much, really.The worst thing is that there is no multiplayer which would have been perfect for this game, even with the already high fun factor of beating each other's records.
The Bottom Line
A must-have for all driving/racing fans and it will remain fun for years because you can think up new tracks endlessly. Download it now, it's all freeware these days and is available on a lot of abandonware sites!
DOS · by Rensch (203) · 2004
The Good
Nothing really.
The Bad
Horrible controls, bad graphics (even for the time), lackluster music and sound effects and after a while you get the desire to hit the screen with your dad's hammer.
The Bottom Line
Just an old-fashioned crappy car sim.

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! :-)
