Summary: You Have To Get This Game
Review: Besides from the control, this game is amazing. I found that getting a driving peripheral really helps you, the driver, out with ditching those pathetic police (which get more and more intelligent bye the use of reoad blocks as the game gets deeper). A MUST HAVE!

Who likes to eat a lot of cheese?

Summary: Live out your road rage fantasies
Review: Driver and Unreal are my two favorite games now.

If you like Unreal better than Quake because it has a plot, and you liked Starsky and Hutch, the Blues Brothers, or Dukes of Hazzard for the car chases, this is the game for you. The main difference between this and most other driving games is that it has a plot and precision counts. There are excellent training courses for getting you up to speed as a hired gun wheelman. It took me a while to learn how to get around corners without totalling the car, but the provided practice games were more than enough to allow me to pass the mob's driving test after a day or so of play.

Unlike a previous reviewer who had bad luck with a G3/300, I also have a Beige G3/300 with Rage Orion and get excellent results, full frame rates, no hiccups, but only with the rear view mirror *off*. The only difference could be I have 150MB to his 128M and virtual memory *off*. (The game requires 85M) I saw none of the vision problems of this same reviewer. The only problems I have with the game is the somewhat cumbersome user interface for selecting games and the fact that it has to reload each level (not too long, but cumbersome) even if you are starting the same one over.

I play NASCAR with a joystick so I was worried about the keyboard control, but I prefer the keyboard for this game, it is well tuned for keyboard only. Just arrow keys for acclerator and wheel, plus another key to pull the hand brake to skid smoothly through tight turns into alleys.

Lots of driving games get old for me pretty quick without human opponents, not this one. Maybe once the plot line is through I'll get bored, but so far I end every game grinning and wanting more, even if the cops busted me.

Maybe that's the real draw, it is so realistic you feel like you could be driving in your own neighborhood, doing all the things you wish you could do. This game lets you do that...unless the cops are watching.

Summary: Cool driving game
Review: Driver is a revolution in the cargames genre. It's fast , cool and it has really good car chases. The graphics is very good, and you have full control over the car almost the whole time, except if you are running at max speed and try to take the curves without slowing down. One cool feature is that everything is recorded so you can save and edit the chases afterwards. Then you can alter the camera views and angles, in just a few minutes you have a really cool car chase scene. It's one of the best driving games in all time.

Summary: Driving With Style
Review: Enjoy yourself with this driving experience. Not to difficult to master the driving with the keyboard. Music soundtrack helps to move you along from place to place.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You are the wheel man
Review: Ever wondered what it would be like to run from the police instead of just pulling over when those pretty red lights are in your rear view mirror? Well Driver lets you do just that. You are the wheel man in this great game. You start out as ex-stockcar racing driver who is hired by the local law enforcement to go undercover and infiltrate the local organized crime. But when your hired, it seems as though your boss forgot to tell the rest of the force you were a good guy. You begin in a cheap hotel room with a decent ride sitting outside, a car similar to a 69' camaro. You get Jobs or missions by answering the telephone in your room. These consist of anything from giving someone a ride, driving your car through the front of a store window, or even being the get away man for a bank robery.

Driver pretty much gives you total freedom to go anywhere in the city you are currently at. The controls are very simple to learn, but for anyone who wants to realy experience this game I would advise buying a steering wheel, it realy enhances the game play. The actual game is pretty tough, the police can downright be insanely tough to get away from. The graphics are wonderfull, providing great eye candy around every corner. While you drive around, the game records your every move letting you later on make a movie of your most recent drive. The options in this director mode are wonderfull. Enabling you to recreate those cool car chases from the old 70's and 80's flicks like "Gone in 60 Seconds."

Overall Driver is a great game that will appeal to anyone who likes driving games. It provides fast furious chases, a mix of different scenarios, and some great extras. You may find it a tad difficult at first but stick with it, and in the end you will be happy you did. Don't pass this one up, a must for anyone who likes any type of driving game.

Summary: A Good Game But Very Challenging
Review: I bought driver about a year a go after playing it on my friends Dell. The graphics on this game are simply amazing. The maps are very detailed and the game is fairly fun. The one problem I ran into was that the game was too difficult. I was very disappointed that after several tries and much practice I was still not able to get to the missions part of the game. This makes the game a whole lot less fun but over all this is a great game. I would not recommend this to people who are not serious gamers.

Summary: Maybe the PC Version is better?
Review: I was really looking forward to playing this game on my high-end G4 and started about a week ago. What a disappointment! First off, the menus did not display with the ATI Radeon card, next the frame rate was slow even at medium resolution. If this is the future of Mac Gaming, maybe we should stick with a Playstation??
