Jackie Chan's Stuntmaster is a beat 'em up platform video game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Midway Home Entertainment for the PlayStation home console.[2]

It is based on the actor and martial artist, Jackie Chan, whom the player gets in the shoes of, fighting his way past numerous villains in different locations across the city of New York.

Plot

Jackie also faces a number of different challenges in which the player must use a combination of moves to succeed. The game boasts 15 fully 3D levels with different environmental obstacles to cross.

Making Of

While making the game, Radical Entertainment consulted Jackie at every point so as to give the game the feeling of a Jackie Chan film. This included using Jackie for motion capture so that the character in the game was preforming the same moves as the man himself. Jackie also provided his voice for game. Also, when the player completes the game a video is shown of Jackie talking about the game and also of him during the motion capture.
