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.

Violent game, not recommended for age 13 and younger

I purchased this PS2 games for my child. If I had known just how violent it is, I would not have given it to her. There was no review to read before I purchased the game. Murder, auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, police chases...that's all it is.

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

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.

Good effort!

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.

umm..wow

I am a fan of Driver and GTA,But i decided to skip DRIV3R due to its bad reviews and alot of reviewers here on amazon.com are damning the game hard.
The reason i bought DRIV3R is to fill in a GameStation offer-the "4 For 20 Quid" offer which i bought Hitman 2,Hitman:Contracts and The Getaway:Black Monday-which i was buying to spend my Birthday money on along with BLACK.
DRIV3R was definately not in any ways perfect as it had TERRIBLE aiming,but everything else was OK-The cars,motorbikes,boats not to mention the storyline-plus you get to roam freely around Miami,Istanbul and NICE in "Take A Ride" or do the storyline missions in "Undercover",The game is set out nicely-but i agree that the GTA games are set out better in those respects-as you are just in a world where you do whatever you want and when you want to do a mission just drive to the marker and so on.
I will just some the game down:

Graphics:8/10:Good graphics i suppose.

Sound:8.5/10:The FX is great,when you crash it sounds very realistic etc,and the music is OK too.

Gameplay:8/10:The gameplay is fun-like freeroaming is OK,the missions feel very action-ish and very exiting.It also set a bar for future freeroaming games-You can now "Swim" in this game,which you can`t do in any freeroam games apart from GTA:San Andreas and DRIV3R.

Overall:8.6/10-or 79%/100%=GOOD game but not in anyways SUBPERB but was still worth the money(even if it was just a filler for some offer i was getting).

Reccomended to:People who Like Freeroam/Sandbox games should give DRIV3R a shot,it may not be as bad as you think!

Goodbye.
