yeah its good fun especially driving, trying to escape someone then its exciting, but there should have been more cities and a load more missions. as for driving though i havent played a better game- have u done a handbrake turn yet, go fast the tap triangle and turn, you have to practice it to get good

I' was tempted to buy this game until i read some of the reviews which just put me off totally the only plus about this game is the driving which is meant to be excellent but most other things are meant to be poor

I need to play this game, i was watching TV today, and a program called Game Pad or somthin like that came on Bravo, and it showed a review of it, the Graphics looked great, and the Motobikes.....i bet i wont be anywhere as good as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas though....

yeah it is a good game but dont you think they could have made it alot better?

It could have been better yes, but considering its the first Driver game on the PS2 i think its a decent effort. Hopefully we'll get driver 4 next year and they can take the game forward.

I'm still debating whether to purchase it. Maybe after my holiday, but then WE8 is just around the corner... so who knows. I await more feedback.

Well I rented it out on Monday, I found the gameplay to be quite glitchy, but I would try it yourself before deciding whether to purchase it

yeah i agree with you that for a first attempt on ps2 it was decent. way better than gta 3. with improvements this game will really rival gta series.

asher b, you should just rent it so u can decide to buy. the driving is great and the fmv's i think they are called are also really good

I think its good but it's nowhere near what GTA3 had. GTA3 had that "Play Again" quality as did Vice City, but Driv3r has it but not on the scale of the GTA series.

I bought it today. The camera seems annoying at first with on foot movement but for their first time it's great. Also the handling in the cars is pretty unresponsive (I havn't even seen a bike yet) but altogether Im loving it

As a mate was round all I've done so far though is Driving games and Take a ride, so no missions and we've just been pissing about - more detail tomorrow :)

These are probably the American cars. Therefore the driving physics are spot-on as the yanks have never built a car that could handle properly. ;)

i dont think it being the first driver on the ps2 is an excuse. just look at how good the first gta on the ps2 was. what makes gta's achievement even better is they went from 2d to 3d very successfully.

some people are saying they like it but havent done hardly any missions. i think they will be in for some shocks as they go frther into the game.

Basicly, I like it - but I can see why it isn't great

Motorbikes arent great, they feel heavy and have nothing on (I feel i'm going to be unfairly comparing these to a lot) the GTA series :(

The swimming is half plus half negative as it's another new feature but has anyone noticed how when swimming in shallow water you're almost floating above it? :confused: Little silly problems like that are quite regular (When you wheelie on a bike into a wall you can often float off above the floor still in the same position you were sitting in on the bike and will land about 30 metres away, it's hard to describe, but it's there)
Another problem with swimming is that when you swim somewhere they don't want you to go.....you die - and that's it?

Sometimes when halfway through a mission you die and have to go back over 54,000 miles away and drive to the place all over again just to get to the place and do the mission you were just at - very annoying :mad:

When on a shooting mission on foot (the level where you've gone through that hotel are are trying to get to the car and have now gone down the lift to get into the garage is a good example) if you can get behind some kind of cover and edge your way out slowly you can always get far enough out so they aren't shooting you but you can shoot them - VERY stupid and kind of boring, makes the levels way to easy

But that's about it, that I've seen - i can't be bothered to do the many pluses but Director mode is class :D I'll add a cool movie up some time later that I've already made

the game hasnt arrived here and i have a few questions:

1) when you stole a car(where there is a police car) will the cop chase you??
2) are there any cool missions?
3) can u do headshots?

I heard from a work colleague that he gets cop cars dropping out of no where when he fires the grenade launcher and just sitting there light flashing an' all but not driving anywhere? Happens to anyone else?

Seems like a glitchy game :(.
