A great racing action that can be addictive, fun, and frustrating.

It's basically GTA without having to walk around really. Your missions are all very similiar, drive here, do this, drive somewhere else, escape etc, but the best part of the game is evading the police. I haven't played a game that has been as exciting as Driver when it comes to police chases, for pure fun and excitement Driver is the best i've played so far. As your "illegal" driving type meter gets higher and higher, the police get smarter and smarter, not to mention psychotic. If you're stuck between a car and a hard place, the police will RAM you until your car blows up. If the police were like this in real life, not to mention the numbers on the road, I doubt there would be a lot of traffic offenses, you'd be too scared! But as you finally escape the police and you no longer hear sirens behind/infront/beside you, you'll feel a great sense of relief, until the cops find you that is...Your car handles well, and while it doesn't go super fast it gets the job done. Gameplay is excellent and exciting, but the graphics are probably where it suffers. Car detail is quite poor, as are buildings, they both look boring and are not well detailed at all. They look ok, just not great. Sound is a problem as well, your car engine sounds weak for the kind of muscle car that it appears to be. Personally, I edited the .wav file to make it sound better, but it would have been better if I didn't need to. The only real problem with Driver is that by the end you could feel quite bored. The story is pathetic and rather stupid, I usually skip the shockingly done cutscenes and just get back to the driving, as the story just gets in the way. Even though there are a few gripes about this game, it is still fun, and well worth the $5-$10 bucks you're likely to spend on it. Just don't expect a graphics/sound/story masterpiece.
