For you GBA owners who love the GTA series, this is almost what you are looking for! Well sort of! The premise, however un-original, is quite interesting! Just like in Driver 2, you play as Tanner, an undercover cop, infiltrating a crime ring! In Driver 3 there are two cities you can drive through, Miami, Florida and Nice, France, with many new features that make this game better then the last, like the ability to get out of the car and use guns, swim and even drive a boat! There are mini games that you can play such as Slalom, Checkpoint and Destruction. Some of the missions are timed and other's simply require that you keep up with whomever you are following.

It isn't without it's flaws though! Although the scenery is much better then in driver 2, there is a funny texture warp when you get too close to many objects. Missing is the police chases! You can drive right past police without being chased, which is kind of disappointing since one of the main objectives in Driver 2 was was to out run the police. The car physics are ok but could be better! You find yourself bouncing of many cars while driving at high speed! Damage to cars seems to be minimal or non existent!

All in all, not bad for the GBA! If you can get by the somewhat blocky graphics that plague just about every 3D GBA game and the few quirks mentioned above, you will find a very enjoyable game with a decent story line to keep things going! Hey, if a games keeps you engaged and coming back there must be some enjoyment!
