10 More Great Video Games That Never Got Sequels
5. Stuntman
Stuntman, as a franchise, suffers the unlikely fate of being published by not one but two failed publishers: Atari and THQ. Not that this is a fault by or about the games themselves, it's just always a bit foreboding for any series in that situation.
Which isn't fair to Stuntman, considering just how much fun they were. The first one, way back in 2002 on the PS2, was a fun game to play with a difficulty of mastery we'd later come to experience in the likes of Trials and such. Finishing each movie setpiece was one thing, but to do it professionally was another thing entirely. Precision timing, hitting cues just right and nailed jumps was both fun and frustrating in equal measure.
The fun did carry over to the sequel, Stuntman: Ignition back in 2007, on the next generation of consoles. Yet sadly, that was it for the movie-based driving game series to date, as with THQ going under, nobody has picked up the rights or announced any continuations at this time.
