One of the greats.
You also have to realize that this was one of the first games to real time shadows, and reflections. Think about this, GTA would not have the driving physics that it has today without the example of Driver.
The game has the undercover mode, which is the actual game itself, in which you play Tanner, the undercover cop that plays freelance Driver for the mob. Tons of missions, tons of great looking cutscenes with an involving plotline that concludes with a twist I dont think anybody expected.
The game has Mini-Games, where you can see how long you can run from the cops, see if you can follow and trash a specific car in the shortest time possible, or try your hand at the practice course. The game also has the Take A Drive mode, which lets you take your car and do whatever you want with it.
That's where the fun begins. Especially with citys like San Francisco, where you've got some nice hills, you can record police crashes that are absolutely incredible. The real fun starts once you get to Los Angeles. Very few games have given me this much entertainment.
I also like to see people respect the classics, because gaming wouldn't be anything like it is if we didn't love the oldies but goodies. And to top this masterpeice off, we get some of the most classic 70's music ever created. This is a must-buy, if you havent allready.
