There are a lot of negative reviews for this game out there, which really surprised me after I bought the game and found that it aint actually all that bad. With the massive improvements from the original driver games I was expecting a completely different style of game, but a lot of the old features still remain the same. The game feels exactly like the old driver games, the cars drive the same, the game flows like the first two and a lot of the missions are very similar. The only problem with this however is that a lot of bugs still exist in the game, making it rather annoying at times. One example is that occasionally when you try to get off a speed boat, you can just fall dead on the floor for no apparent reason, which can be really annoying when you're halfway through a level!
However the graphics on this game are excellent for any PS2 game, especially during the FMV sequences. There are three new maps which include Nice, Maimi and Istanbul which are incredibly detailed even in the backdrops and are apparently accuarate representations of the real cities. The extra features in the game are the ability to drive whatever you like which opens up a whole new range of missions, most of which are interesting and fit in well with the story line.
The mistake many people are making is comparing this game to grand theft auto. Of course the game is very similar in a lot of ways, but it obviously isnt grand theft auto. Its clear to see that there isnt quite as many things to do on driver in comparrison, but thats why you have to just take it as it is. There is an option to take a ride and just cause havoc around the city which gives you a similar freedom as in grand theft auto, but during the actual game the missions are often quick, specific and follow a structure, as in you know what you have to do so you do it. The storyline is a bit loose too, but keeps you interested enough to care. Overall this is good game and a big improvement on the original drivers, but if your looking for another grand theft auto game you wont find it in this. It has its unique qualities though, such as no swearing and unnessecary violence if your not into that kind of thing, and a load of comparitively different missions, a lot of which maintain the old driver standard of difficulty, but keep you excited enough to keep trying until you finally do it. Generally though the game isnt quite a hard as the first two. My opinion, take away grand theft auto and you've got a great game here.

Don't compare this to GTA...

Although it seems at first taste that this game tries to follow the GTA style I believe Driver series just needed a little something to make it interesting, so why not foot missions? I am a fan of all the Driver games, the first one (PS1) relied a lot of just driving here and there, the second one gave you the choice of stepping out of your vehicle and take others, so when you were in badly needed of new wheels, you could. With the PS2 out, they decided to include missions on foot and extra weaponry. You'll travel through Turkey, France and Miami, the cities are well designed to give you a smooth feelings, the cars are fast and sort of easy to control, some of the missions are quite hard to beat, but they still have that Driver style that's a trademark of the series. Overall, good graphics, fun driving game with shooting missions, worth getting it.

ignore or enjoy the shortcomings

I've had this game for about a year, and I am still stuck on the "chase" games. I haven't tried the missions at all because the chase games have been way too much fun. There are some incredibly funny quirks in the game, like watching the chase car or your own car fly or flip in ways that are unrealistic, or when the chase car gets confused when it goes where it isn't expected to go. It is frustrating when your car gets "harpooned" by a tree or telephone pole and you are unable to free yourself from that state, but it doesn't happen very often. Despite these "bugs", the game is still a lot of fun and each time I play it, I know it will be different than the last time. Maybe the quirks make it that much more different. LOL. Like I said, I have been stuck on the "chase" games. There is a lot more to Driv3r than that, but I'm having too much fun to try everything else. I have the first two Driver games as well, but I haven't gone back to them since I started playing this one. Chasing what appears to be a Trans-Am reminds me of my old crazy days driving a Camaro, back when cops didn't try to kill you if you ran from them. I love the Driver series of games.

Driver 3 on PS2 Its pretty awsome

I bought this and Stuntmans for my best friends son and when he comes over (almost everyday) he has to bring his games that I bought him. My son's are always fighting over the remote if he gets up to stretch or anything else. Now I have to buy them 1 or they are going to get it themselves. Which ever comes up w/ the money first .. Lol .. I highly Recommend this game.

WHEN THE FCUK ARE THEY GOING TO RELEASE IT?

From the moment. I started playing this game. I felt something wasnt right. From the insane glitches going in the game like for instance:

cars blowing up with 2 cops next them and they dont die. They keep right on shooting me.

to my car crashing into a pole and having the pole get stuck in the car with you in it.

trying to get on a boat and getting sucked under the boat and dying.

to very bad death animations like having a guy get shot and he flies up on the ceiling then comes back down and starts flopping in between a table and a couch.

problems with timed missions. Your trying to get in the car but it takes several tries. I wouldnt care normally but during timed missions it is a big deal.

These are just a few issues i've had with the game. Worth a rental perhaps but not 50 dollars no way!!

eh

Havnt played games in a long time. I was surprised to see that they havnt got any better. If the cut scenes look better then the game itself then it doesnt make any sense to me. Though i had fun playing this game the only difficult stages of the game are due to errors in the game. Like trying to chase someone down but having your guy get stuck on something, etc... Seems all games are like this now. You can kill a boss in 5 seconds but it will take you 2 hrs to try and overcome a bug int he game.
Like I said Im surprised at the lack of innovation in games. You'd think they'd be flawless by now. Ill give it another 5 yrs.
