When cars get hit, the amount of damage caused is very apparent when looking at them. Unfortunately, the only time you hear this is on the title screen. The game sounds themselves are pretty realistic, but nothing groundbreaking and consist mainly of A LOT of squealing tires, engine sound, police sirens, and crashing.
The cut scenes consist of a variety of people leaving messages on your answering machine and "city" sounds outside. Memory card can be used in either or both slots, 1 block per save game , Shock controller compatible, Analog controller compatible. Given the style of this game, there should have been better analog controller support. With its variety of different types of driving games and storyline Undercover missions, Driver has a lot to offer.
Overall, this is a difficult, but very entertaining game and will provide many hours of enjoyment and a few hours of frustration, which is why I give it a score of Your name is Tanner. A few years back you left professional stock car racing for police work. The criminal underworld has accepted you as one of their own and you have been hired to be a getaway driver.
Speeding through the streets of real cities with working traffic systems, pedestrians, and motorists on the street and cops on the patrol. You are the best driver in the criminal community. You are the Wheelman. Driver gives you total freedom while driving around town. It hit me like a monkey wrench, you can go wherever you want in the cities with no predefined tracks or anything of that sort. Now that is good gaming! How many games have you played where the cops try to chase you around and you can go through alleys, parking garages, and open playgrounds without hitting an invisible barrier?
Not many. You have your gas on one button and your brake on the other. How hard can it be? Pretty darned hard! You must master the emergency brake and it also helps to know a little about the burn out also. Whenever you need to make a sharp turn at 80 MPH the emergency brake is a handy little tool. If you have to make a quick U turn, in a tight area, the burn out button is the way to go.
The graphics for Driver are just as good as any other driving game on the shelf nowadays. Driver does have some of the best reflections I have ever seen in a driving game.
There is a mission in Los Angeles where you drive a car in a thunderstorm and the road is covered in water. The road looks like a sheet of ice and it is simply impressive. While the reflections are great, the walls and backgrounds could have used a little more help. I had the opportunity to play Driver on both the Sony Playstation and on the computer and I have to admit that the game looks just about the same on either platform. The PC version is a little bit crisper, but then again I am a little biased because I love my computer.
Driver sounded great! The music was funky and the sound effects were right on the money. I kept waiting for the Barretta theme to play or to see Ponch and John cruising around on their motorcycles. I guess I will have to. The music was far too loud. I then went to my desktop and turned the CD player volume property down for it to work correctly.
The v2. The cars handle very realistically in Driver. The Camaro that you get to cruise around in seems to handle the best while the cop car that you steal while in Los Angeles seems to drive like an old wagon. We all know that they drive them in California. Speaking of cops, they could have used a little bit of work. They seemed to have absolutely no regard for public safety at all and were relentless.
They would run people off the road just to get a clear shot at you. Just when you thought you had dusted them another would show up on your radar or they would put a road-block in front of you.
Although the road-blocks were easy to maneuver around I did notice that sometimes the cops would peel off and ram you as you tried to get around. The documentation is more than adequate to get you started right away. It describes some of the different games you can play pursuit, getaway, cross-town checkpoint, trail blazer, survival, dirt track, time trial, and carnage and gives a few tips as to how to play the game.
It also gives you a little storyline for the game not that it is needed and the basic install instructions. If GT Interactive puts out an add-on pack for this game it will be a hot seller for a long time to come.
Hint I think it would have been cool to have a Starsky and Hutch car also, but that is a different story. Now this is a cool new idea for a racing game: As the driver of a getaway car, you have to haul ass from the scene of the crime, dodging pedestrians, running red lights, and, naturally, ditching those pesky cops. The catch is that you're actually an undercover officer named Tanner who's working to infiltrate a crime ring that's active in New York, L. All four cities have been carefully reproduced in the game, so you'll recognize prominent landmarks or even back alleys if you frequent them.
The game's set in the 70s, replete with a retro soundtrack and muscle cars that, GT says, handle realistically, take damage as you rub fenders, and even drop hubcaps when you rip around a comer. And because Reflections, the developer of the Destruction Derby series, is also behind Driver, this intriguing video game version of the classic movie chase scene has the potential to be a thrilling new racing experience.

Game review Downloads Screenshots What we thought "In terms of Carmageddon style mayhem, Driver ranks low on the fun scale. I presume the main reason for this was the lack of multiplayer support True, this is a shame - but the absolutely brilliant single-player game more than makes up for it.
Also, the additional sub-games, such as Pursuit, Trail Blazer and Checkpoint Race, ensure you just can't put it down. Excuse me, but I cannot remember the last time I had as much fun on a PC. There's boundless fun to be had, whether you play it seriously, or just for a laugh. Carmageddoits cartoon frolics come nowhere near the hard-hitting realism of this work of genius. So come on - lighten up, boys. Overall rating: 7.

Driver is a superb driving action game from Reflections Interactive, the team behind Destruction Derby series. You play a police officer who is assigned to go undercover as driver for a crime syndicate. Your job, naturally, is to expose and foil their plans. The game description and review at MobyGames says it all: "Perform authentic maneuvers like donuts, spin, spin, reverse spin, and more as you cut through alley ways, across sidewalks and parks, smash park benches and and drive over traffic cones.
Many different cars to try most you'll recognize. Will you save the day? There are so many sub-games to choose from, each has its own unique challenge. In Pursuit you have to tail another car as long as you can; in Trailblazer you have to follow a course knocking over cones to gain time; in Survival you have to survive as long as you can against a whole bunch of homicidal cops; in Carnage you get to see how much damage in dollars you can cause in one minute.
Each is quite tough in its own way, and damn fun to do. With a whole group of high score tables you also feel a pressing urge to try to better your previous best.
The graphics in this game a pretty good, even at lower resolutions. The cars, both yours and the others are well-drawn and easily recognizable for what they are. None of them a painted stupid colours as with Midtown 2 , so the whole scene has a sense of reality about it. There is also a very well developed replay mode, allowing you to replay a particular incident or the whole race in close detail.
Choose from a huge variety of camera angles, and create a little movie! There really are some quite spectacular crashes, which can be a lot of fun to replay over and over. Unlike Midtown [Madness] , this game is a constant challenge, and it will take quite a while to get through everything.
Occasionally it can get a little frustrating, but it is always worthwhile. The Bad: The graphics are good, but you'll need a good spec PC to get the most out of it.
If I connect my steering wheel, the frame-rate drops a long way, making the game almost unplayable, which is a pity. The cops are complete lunatics. Even one minor infringement, and they will do all they can to destroy you. Doing 56 in a 55 zone? If they see you they will come after you and not quit until your car is wrecked. This can be a little annoying at times.
