The only guilty pleasure about this game is getting the Camaro... oh and cheating.

I owned the original Driver on PS1. Then again, who hasnt? And I have to say, Im not all that surprised. One you learn the cheats for this game, its all over but the driving. If you didnt know: Tanner is an undercover cop working for the Miami PD when his boss wants him to go underground. The choice of job: wheelman. The job: drive. Simple? It is. Too simple. Once you get this down on the PS, this game seems like deja vu. The gameplay is the same. No cars have been changed, except graphics wise, and no part of the story is messed with. At least, not that I can think of. The cops are brainless, oh and the cops in this game are too. The graphics are the exact same as on the PS version, which makes it a bit of a disappointment. With the power of someones PC, they could have made the graphics go beyond just a simple circle. But this was a simpler time. A time before reflective mapping and all anyone ever cared about was whether or not you got a PS or an N64. Idiots. The sound, dont get me started. The same engine sound from rev to stop. On 90% of the cars. The voiceacting is pretty clear, I love it on the answering machine when you get that message from the hick, or the Chinese guy. The crashing sounds are synthetic and sound more like a garbage can being knocked on from far away rather than crunching steel. The game can go on for what seems like forever, then its over. You can at least switch cars and drive those. But unless your doing freeride with cops on and invincibility plugged in, your not going to have fun. This game is good to play if your going to look back on it someday. But if you want to turn this thing into a full-blown religion by itself, drink your cyanide punch now, its better than playing this.
