this is a very fun game. it is very similar to grand theft auto type games but it has a twist. free roam environment in new york/new jersey and customizable vehicles. i will never be bored of this game i would reccomend it to any wii owners. 17+
Good game, but not great. A little too violent for younger kids.

The gamers at Gamestop have rated this game a 5 out of 10 for the Wii version. I got it for under $16 so it seems worth it. I would not have liked to pay $30 for this game, especially for the Wii console. You have to drive by tilting the Wiimote which makes the game a little less fun...so I am considering getting the wheel accessory.
This game goes through different burroughs in New York and involves cop-chases and gunshots. It's fun for a while, overall. I would not recommend it for kids (and it also has a Mature rating)- although tween boys would probably not mind the blood-shed if you let them play it!
Hours of fun!

My husband a big fan. He likes to drive the different types of cars. I am not a big fan of the hand brake feature, it hard to learn to use. It's fun for the fact i only paid $15.99 for it. We both like the story line and it is fun to do the little side jobs. Cops are fun to out run but watch out for the chopper it gets you everytime.

I purchased this game back when it was on gold box deal for $15. I played if for a bit then life got in the way so I had to put it away for a couple weeks. Finally I got back into it and I really like this game.
Granted it is very similar to the GTA series but what are you going to play when you've played that series twice over. I never really looked to deep into the game before I purchased it and thought that it was just set in the 70's but then found out that you play the character in the 70's up until he is framed for a crime and then fast forward to 2006 to seek your revenge.
This is a great (adult) game and perfect for venting your frustrations after a long day at work. I agree the game is not perfect, but take it for what it is a fun game at a bargin price.
A strong 4 out of 5!
Great game, can't go wrong.

Driver wii turned out to be a great game. It was very enjoyable and a lot of fun. You definetely get into the action nicely. The controls are pretty standard = wii mote to shoot and nunchuck to steer/drive. It also features a control that lets you tilt the nunchuck for sharper turns although I havn't found this to be very useful. Overall, the game appears short. But it's really worth the ride.
Fun

Got this game as a Today's Deal for the Wii. Didn't do any research on it and I probably should have. This is a game for mature audiances. There is quite a bit of foul language right from the time you but the disk in the machine. The game controls are very sensative. My husband and I end up crashing the car more than we do driving it. I would recommend doing your research before buying any of the games.
This is an okay game.

This is an okay game. There is a lot of unnecessary swearing and the police helicopters are really cheasy... the propellers spin at like five miles per hour and you can destroy the helicopter with a pistol. This game is definitely a driving game, although similar to GTA.
I see why they have this game for so cheap

Very boring game, extremely poorly made. Got sick of it after 15 minutes, havent played since. Very very repetitive. Cheap takeoff on GTA. Not even worth the $15 I paid for it.
Great Game - NOT for kids!!!!!

I bought the Wii for Christmas for my fiancee.....he loves it and loves the game - we both actually play it and as you go through the different boroughs you find different things and levels all the time. Similar to the Grand Theft Auto's but different. Not for children though! A lot of curse words....17+ - but FUN for the mature adults ;)
Inexpensive Fun

Thorough Review.
This is somewhat of an adult orientated game, due to the violence and blood.
The game will not really be for Gamers because they will spy the glitches in the game which can ruin game play.
The free roam is fun, and you get "rewarded" after driving around for long enough and putting miles on the odometer, the graphics are OK at best and that is WITH the HD component cable for wii on an hdtv.
It is still fun to play, and being only 20 dollars it has more hours and hours of fun then the 2 movie tickets 20 dollars would get you.
The controls are a little funny at first but within an hour your doing 180's without thinking.
