Better than Driv3r, but it reminds me of GTA 3 quite a bit.
the music in the first chapter was good, but the music in the second half wasn't as great.
Another thing that I didn't like was the stars reset in 2006, and you have to go and get them all again, and some were moved, like the hangers in the airport were not even there.
Other than that, I enjoyed the first part of the game, and driving around in 2006.
The game is better than Driver 3, but different to Driver 1 & 2 somehow in the gameplay point of view.
