 For fans of racing games May 15, 2008
First off, I'm not a hard-core gamer I just play when theres nothing else to do. I normally play racing games and occassionaly halo. So far, from what I've played I really enjoy this game. I like being able to just walk around and then the ease of getting a vehicle :D Overall....good game
LACKING BUT FUN 7.5 OUT OF 10 November 23, 2007
When this game first came out I had fun with it for hours just stealing cars, crashing them, shooting them, and getting chased by the police in places like Chicago, Istanbul, and Nice. The graphics are actually pretty good still to this day, the crash damage on your vehicle is believable, the shooting mechanics work great, and stealing cars is a cinch. However there are problems that mar this game like: the lack of good music(seriously, it's dull), and the city feels a bit lifeless at times, not to mention odd glitches at times. While it may not hold a candle to GTA, it still is fun.
 The best Game Ever!!!!!!!! June 19, 2006

Driv3r is not about the storyline. Its not about the graphics...
Heck... Its not even about the cars.
Driv3r is all about the free-roaming world. For example in Miami, did you know that there is a hidden Go-Kart Track? Or that in Istanbul there is a Drawbridge the size of the empire state building that can be opened up at any time? (Extremely fun) If you play this game as much as I do, The glitches are what makes it very fun... If you have never played this game get yourself the cheatcode that unlocks everything and go crazy in the Take a ride mode. That is where the fun is.
Is it reall That Bad?-I think not. April 25, 2006

DRIV3R is VERY like GTA:Vice City,but its more like the realistic version of GTA:VC.
I liked Driver and Driver 2,But i think DRIV3R is also good.
You play Tanner again who has been sent to infiltrate a Car Theft ring,and bring it to an end.
This game is MILES better than TrueCrime,its also better than The Getaway-but its 2 inches behind GTA in my opinion(as of Driver:Parallel Lines).
You get Miami,Nice and Istanbul to explore,three cities that is.
You get a good selectionof cars,motorbikes and boats to cruise around in-although it would have been nice to have bicycles,helicopters and some type of plane-But it doesn`t matter.
Overall this game really isn`t as bad as they say-its no perfecto but its still good.

Driver 3 for the Xbox is a third person action game, where you play a cop out to chase down and kill crime syndicates. The game is similar to Grand Theft Auto in concept, but not at all in execution. You can walk or run around on foot missions and explore the cityscape or you can cruise around with a vehicle of your choice. You can play the single player story mode if you want to see the story or you can play free-mode where you can roam around doing whatever you want. I did enjoy the fact that your character can swim in water, I also liked some of the map level designs. You can get on a highway and gas it or go through narrow alleways, you can also enter many of the buildings. Some of the weapons are fun to use although the aiming system is very clumsy. The overall feel of the game is very unplolished. There are tons of glitches with the sound effects, music, graphics and collision detection. Driver 3 was rushed and needed more beta testing before being released to the public as a finished product! Just to give you an example of some of the bugs; My game character's body got stuck into invisible objects, or his body went through (like a ghost) into a car, the in-game music stops or starts sparadically, ditto with the sound effects, headshots are not always fatal, the police and enemy A.I. is very stupid but cheats to compensate its stupidity, the game graphics are grainy and crappy, the framerate is low and there is no sense of real speed when driving vehicles. This game tried to be like Grand Theft Auto, but failed miserably. Why get a cheap clone of GTA, when you can get the real thing for a good price?
Pros:
+Free-Form gameplay
+large city maps
+lots of vehicles
+your character can swim
+go inside buildings
+pilot boats
Cons:
-tons of glitches
-stupid A.I.
-terrible graphics
-slow vehicles
-music cuts off abruptly
-sound effects cuts off abruptly
-bad controls
-week sound effects
-terrible camera system
-boring missions
-GTA wannabe
-terrible collision detection
-not very fun
