Driv3r

[Titus808]

I&#39;ve never played any of the driver games (never owned a ps or ps2) but everyone says they&#39;re fun...does anyone know if they&#39;re eventually planning Driv3r for pc as well? I could&#39;nt find anything about that. <_< and is it really good? or just another one of the "playstation kid&#39;s" lies?

[need a medic]

Can you get guns in this one? Driver 2 was sweet. My favorite thing was to take a Limo and jump random things in vegas.

seirosuly Driver 2 was the bomb considering it was on Playstation. But Now We have the GTA 3 And Vice City&#33;&#33;&#33; which blows Driver Series away&#33;&#33;

I looked forward to buying this game ever since I found out it was being made, and after recieving my copy last saturday I stuck the disk in and started playing.........I have never been so dissapointed by a game in my life&#33; This game is everything that is wrong with developers nowadays, they rush games because they know that they wil sell no matter how bad the game actually is.For a start the frame rate is diabolical to say the least for an Xbox game, the AI is non existant, the cops are so retarded it&#39;s almost realistic........errr...I meant laughable, they can be standing on the opposite side of a car and still keep firing despite the fact that they cant hit you.

during the first 30 mins i managed to get stuck in a lampost, drop through the road into a giant black hole and I watched a policmen come back from the dead after pumping god knows how many bullets into his head...... the ammount of bugs in this game is absolutely pathetic.

the on foot action is rubbish, it takes 2 buttons just to walk,and even then you end up walkng sideways. the aiming is awful and the weapons are bland. the driving is not muc better, the cars are slow as hell and the pop-up scenery causes untold amounts of problems - you could b driving along a clear road (there are no cars in this game)and all of a sudden a giant lorry will pop up right in front of you. I could carry on slating this game, but as you can only use 1000 words id best stop, please ignore all the advertising and dont buy this game.


not as good as expected, June 23, 2004

Having had driver 1 and 2 on the old PS1 i was looking forward to Driv3r. However having played it for a few hours i do have a few comments to make.

My first is that it is a long time since i&#39;ve played a game with such a lot of &#39;pop up&#39;. This was evident on the PS1 with the first two games, but should we really see it on the Xbox? The graphics themselves aren&#39;t terrible but they are nowhere near the standard of PGR2, Halo or even the newly released rallisport challenge. The game itself is VERY similar to the old driver 2 but just with better graphics and so because i enjoy this type of game i will probably put up with the substandard graphics.

Secondly, I am amazed there are no 2 player games on driv3r. The ommision of xbox live is bad enough, but when you can&#39;t even play the additional driving games split screen with pals this is too much. YOU COULD DO THIS ON THE PS1 WITH DRIVER 2. Why not with this game on the mighty xbox?

Like a lot of gamers, I&#39;ve been waiting with eager anticipation for this game. And, like True Crime, was expecting a GTA beater. What a dissapointment&#33;&#33;&#33; Yet another triumph of hype over quality. The cities and cars look great, but the game is full of bugs - at one point a car I was chasing just dissapeared through a wall&#33;&#33; The AI is appalling, pedestrians look like stick men drawn by a six year old, the cars have no sensation of speed whatsoever and the handling resembles some form of uncontrollable jelly on wheels. I just can&#39;t believe the cheek of Atari releasing this trash.
And ,Amazon, PLEASE do something about reviews being written before a game has been released.




u see a pattern emerging. oh well, guess just got to wait till gta:san-andreas comes out

I&#39;m trying to get hold of it from Blockbusters to rent before I buy apparently the games shit.

Gamespot gives it a score on 5.4

I can&#39;t say from first hand experiance yet but from what I&#39;ve heard so far don&#39;t waste your money GTA:SA will wipe the floor with it.

I could tell the soon as screen shots of Driv3r came out the graphics looked tacky and unfinished maybe with AA x6 enabled on the PC it could sort some of that problem out?

My friend bought it for PS2 and its pretty crappy :angry: enough said.

I have the Xbox version and the graphics are good, and the it has 3 huge citys. The games story mode is really lame. It basically the same thing over and over again. The only thing i like it Director thing. You can film crashes and stuff, witch is cool. In Take a Ride its like GTA:VC with better graphics, but it still sucks.

My friends brother rented it on the PS2 and its really the first time i have seen a differance between PS2 and XBOX. The grapics are all downgraded. Just dosent look good.

PS2 graphics are starting to hold back all good games now, I think the biggest example to date is GTA:Vice.

I think the reason the PS2 held back, is becuase theres alot to load. There no loading time between areas, and everthing is streemed. Since the HDD is not big, and many people dont have it. Less things are possible.
