  EAGB Advance Game Review - Stuntman
The controls in 'Stuntman' are not easy as it should be and new drivers would be advised to drop by the 'icon' section to fully understand which buttons to press and when to press them.
The main thing that the PlayStation 2 version and the GBA version of 'Stuntman' share is the utter frustration you feel when you don't manage to fulfill a stunt criteria, either because you can't reach the required stunt percentage or because you've simply run out of time.
In short, 'Stuntman' in either versions is not easy, and because you'll have to start the stunt all over again, don't be surprised if you feel like throwing your GBA against the wall after the 10th of 15th attempt.

 Review - Stuntman // Game Boy Advance /// Eurogamer
Stuntman had all the makings of a truly exceptional game, but in the end fell down due to its overly exacting linear gameplay, and - most crucially - the poor load times which meant that you'd spend more time looking at the loading screen than actually playing the damn thing.
The basic premise in the Career mode is that you are a stuntman for hire, trying to make your way up the ladder from low budget flicks, through to Hollywood blockbusters.
Visually, Stuntman's are easily among the most ambitious on the platform, pumping out highly detailed, well designed and varied 3D play areas that have been redesigned specifically for the GBA.

 IGN: Stuntman Review
Borrowing a healthy dose of wrecks, bumps, and explosions from the former and combining it with the speed, attitude, and zany Euro-feel of the latter, Stuntman when analyzed, is the obvious natural progression for the developer.
Not a difficulty that rears its head in every stage, but one that could have been addressed in a more informational manner (perhaps in the form of story boards on the loading screen that gave a brief synopsis of what stunts were needed for that course).
Squabbles aside, Stuntman is still immeasurably playable and has enough of the goods in the right department to nudge us into overlooking the terrible load time and occasionally confusing track design; a rare feat to behold indeed.

 GameSpy.com - E3 2002 Coverage
This build of Stuntman didn't include any kind of a pre-stunt "fly-by" of the stunts you're expected to complete, which seems like a strange omission considering you're a stuntman and might be privy to this sort of information.
But fear not, because Stuntman features a train leap as moonshine explodes all over a hick town, followed by a dash through an exploding gas station, a jump through a billboard of the County Sheriff, and then a massive turbo leap over a partially demolished freeway.
True, this game is locked at 30 frames per second, but the promise of chasing around the streets of Bangkok in a three-wheel tricycle with a hairdryer motor while helicopter gunships strafe you has never been so appealing.

 Curmudgeon Gamer - Review: Stuntman
Which isn't to say it isn't fun: just that it's not nearly as rewarding as Driver was and (other than that nightmare bank pickup mission that drove me to the brink of madness) has far more design mistakes.
I prefer putting the accelerator and brake in different places, depending on the type of driving I'm doing in a game, and Stuntman was made more difficult for me because of this design choice.
Yet, other than an extremely brief, undetailed explanation before each stunt, the first time you get the details of your run is when you do the first movie take, listening to the director giving you directions via radio.
