Not a racing game, but a totally different experience. You drive around entire cities with the freedom to go whereever you want. Different missions, storylines, cities, cars and styles of play. You may be the getaway driver for a hold up or moving a hot cars across town or you can just cruise around the city if you want. Try it first to see if it's your style. If so, you'll buy it for sure.
The best game I've ever played!

Driver puts realistic driving in the palm of your hand. Bad-a** graphics, bad-a** characters, bad-a** everything! So many options you will never get bored of this game. If you're interested in film, you can even direct your own replay! Very cool.
Is there that many cops in one city?

I found this game very entertaining.The graphics were very well done and the gameplay is very good for a driving game.The only downfall is that the police are a little too agressive.No real police officer would run you off the road for a little speeding violation.But overall,it is a very good game.If you like to wreck cars(hopefully not for real) and just have a good drive,purchase this title.
a cool motivational theme to outrun everyone!

the game starts and you have to " earn your stripes", so to speak. you can't go to the real game, without passing this first test. i spent about 20 minutes, and 10 tries to get through. but once your in, it's pretty fun.you are an under cover cop, turned get-away driver. good graphics,cool crashes,and high speed.chases. the only complaint i have is the " CRUCIAL" map, that shows the city streets,and where you need to go, doesnt always show where you are or what direction you need to go.but if you like being a get-away driver, trying to outrun or wreck cop cars,you'll deal with that one complaint.It's not the same old, race against the machine,going around a track. you race in actual cities, with real landmarks.
BEST GAME EVER

This is the best game ever created. it has the cops with the real sirens and lights. you can go into parking garages, you can even be good, and not get rammed by the cops. it is an awesome game.

This game is so cool, I own several Playstation Video Games dealing with racing like Need for Speed, Gran Turismo etc. But I never felt like I was really into the game like Driver, it feels like you are really a driver or bad guy! I like the part where you have to do that test in the parking garage, it took a few tries, but when that guy said "you got the job" it was well worth it. I love the 70s feel. I also enjoy the fact that you can stop at stoplights etc. The only grip as one person said is the cops, they practically ram you into the buildings. I wish they made the game more realistic cop wise, instead of the cops going after you when you didn't do anything, they should make the cops only go after you when you are really doing a felony. I think that would make it more realistic. But that is nothing compared to the great game play. If you are a girl you will like this game a lot. Being a girl, it is hard to find a game without lots of gore and other sick stuff. So this game is perfect for boys and girls. Hey even my mom loves it!
THIS IS THE GAME TO GET FOR 1999!
The best game I have ever played!

Driver is the best game! I got this game over 6 months ago and am still regularly playing it. At the beginning, you have to prove your skills to future employers. When you pass, its on the streets of Miami, San Franscico, L.A., and New York. The missions are great fun and the graphics are awesome.
Finally, a driving game I enjoy!

After buying every racing/driving game on the market since the introduction of the Playstation (and taking them all back after being disappointed in some fashion or another), I finally have found a driving game that I enjoy! This game plays with the same feel as Grand Theft Auto, except with the graphics of Destruction Derby. A lethal combination of fun and a never ending shelf-life. Unlike many of the "popular" driving games, this one actually gives your car damamge when you hit something. Finally, a driving game that has more than just "true driving physics"; it is actually realistic. It's about time someone figured it out...
#1 driving game

I should rephrase that, number 1 driving adventure! That's what it is. No more driving around a track, but actually proving your driving skills on the streets. If you liked gta, but didn't like the view, this is the game for you. The game has very realistic damage and driving handling, and the missions are fun. If you get tired of the undercover part of the game you can always "take a ride", or play some of the driving games such as; survival, dirt track, pursuit, checkpoint, and several others. What makes it even better are the cheats that you can put in to make the game a real challenge, from mini cars, to stilts, to invincibility. Overall this game is very realistic and has now become number 1 on my list of driving games (yes in front of Gran Turismo).
A game with some serious character

I'm not even a fan of driving games, nonetheless 'Driver' has single handedly pulled me out of video game slump... A unique game that should appeal to fans of retro-cool, carnage, classic cars, movie car chases and everything sort of in between... Run, no hurry, to get this game!
