The developers did not really think this game out very well.

The one thing I absolutely hate about this game is how you are supposed to be a cop, but you're just running around shooting people at random. Cops dont do that, they only use lethal force as an absolute last resort and even then they try not to get lethal. This character just runs around shooting every criminal he sees and doesnt even report the deaths or anything. wow thats gay another thing in free mode you can easily get the cops off your trail by going into a hideout. thats pretty gay yeah all in al this game is fun for a weekend rental only for the free mode part of it, but the campaign sucks balls believe me. it is just horrible i tried playing like 2 missions and i quit. the free mode is actually pretty fun ill give them that, but like i said, only a few maps get old after about playing it for 2 days, so yeah rent this game, dont buy it whatever you do...

now onto the different aspects of the game

gameplay is pretty bad. seriously,. its not horrible, but it definately is not good. and speaking of how the game is called "driv3r", there really isnt that much driving in it, of course i only playing the free mode part most of the time so i wouldnt know, but still the mechanics of everything just dont seem to blend. shooting for instance is just a hassle, and never even try shooting out of a car, thats just plain insanity. controls are also pretty crappy

graphics are explained in just one word... EW. the framerate wil lconstantly drop, which doesnt make a lot of sense becuase the graphics are really bad already anyway, so that doesnt make much sense.

sound, i dont really know, nothingspecial here, i didnt pay atention to sound detail, but judging by the rest of the game im guessing it was half a**ed

value yep no value here whatsoever the freemodetries to give some sort of value but guess what there is like 3 maps which arent that big, and you cant do a lot in all those maps. value just sucks to the core.

overall it is a fun game to rent, and then to never rent again, you will say yeah that was pretty fun ill admit althuogh it sucked, it was kinda fun, but after about 4 hours of play you will realize nevermind, this just sucks

    Driver 3 did NOT deserve its 5.4 rating

    I got this game in 2004. I am a really big fan of Driver games. This is a good game, though not the best in the series. First is the gameplay. I like the new additions like health and killing people, but the strange ... Read Full Review

    I've played all the Driver's - from the first to most recent - Driver Parallel Lines. But I only just got Driv3r recently, I'd been putting of getting it all this time, but since I liked the others so much, and I saw it ... Read Full Review
