Now im glad I played the demo because I usually buy series games the day they come out and I was really disappointed with the demo. The graphics and cutscenes were amazing, but the whole shifting from one car to another I thought was sorta lame (personally) as well as the story. I loved how the series was slowly developing into a GTA type of game but I really dont see it happening for this game(you couldnt even run over a pedestrian!). Im sure the game is decently good but this is probably a rentable game at best.

I would've preferred a remastered release of the original over SF. Thoroughly disappointed :(

I agree with pretty much everything you say. The game environment LOOKS great, and would be fun to drive around San Francisco (with all the hills and jumps) However the driving mechanics sucked. The "shift" ability is just plain stupid even at a conceptual level, if you just described the idea to me it makes no sense, in practice it still is just plain silly and is one of those "what were they smoking?" things. What is this MindJack? (another terribly conceived game). I've never played a Driver game before so didn't know it is "story driven". That would be fine, but man that voice acting is about as annoying as it gets. I'd rather just have no story whatsoever, or just read text.

I also was pretty disappointed with the demo, kinda got bored with it after the first couple of minutes. The driving mechnaics are horrible....it's a shame because the other driver titles I throughly enjoyed back when on the PC. Driver Parallel lines was actually pretty good, strong voice acting, a witty story and fun missions..the original driver was also pretty neat 'cept hard as hell. Unfortuntely I won't be picking up this title :(

I think "complete garbage" would be an understatement when describing that demo.

I was nice but I wish it was more like Driver 1. Where you just got 1 or 2 cars and did missions. That game was awesome.

Getting my first experience with Driver in Driver 3 I can honestly say it's been a major disappointment from that game onwards.

Crap. Takes the legacy of a great first two games and drives it into the toilet even further. The paranormal stuff is a new low, and the game itself is mechanically sound (if you'll excuse the pun), but the devs gotta be Gary Busey Nuts to be doing this to a series that, along with "Stuntman", at one time defined fresh, awesome, killer driving games.

Just sad.
