You've got to be kidding me? This is what you've come up with over the last couple of years? Game play is awful and clunky. Nothing smooth about this at all. The driving is horrible. Car's don't react that way and it feels as if the car nevers gets out of first gear. Shooting and aiming is dumb as hell. You get shot a few times before you can even aim at the guy you need to. Moving around is even worse. You have to use a combo of both analogs or 1 analog and the thumbpad in order to really see where you're going.
Atari: Don't even go back to the drawing board. Burn the drawing board. Don't try to take an awful game and throw money at voice overs for characters on actors that people perceive to be cool. If you spent half of your talent (whatever there is of it) on the game rather then the animated sequences, you might have something worth 2 stars here. Until then I will never buy another Atari game again.
Bottom line: This game sucks
disappointing

Driver 3 is one of the worst games i have ever played. I wasted my money and life on this. At first it looked really appealing to me, but it didn't turn out so goo after that. The big problem this game had was it came out too late for its time. If this came out before gta III this would be flying off the shelves and would be a big hit and making gaming history, but it was a few years late, and that is what made it so boring and bad. To anyone who buys, rents or even thinks about this game, DON'T PLAY IT. it's not worth buying, renting, or thinking about it. It just wastes time.
Should have read the AMAZON reviews

I made the mistake of buying this game yesterday without researching enough. I thought it would be good enough to just get without checking into especially since I really liked Driver 1. I thought they were going to do a lot more this time around, but I was wrong.
I give one star for the cool driving effects, nice engine sounds and car damage. Nothing else deserves a star.
On-foot is terrible. Aiming is terrible. This game really is crappy. Very dissapointed.
Not worth it

This game was definately not worth the hype (If there was any). I remember seeing a commercial for it and I was thinking "GTA ripoff" and it pretty much is. GTA is alot better than this in everything, this game was to bland. I got bored with this really, really quick.
better or worst

Could they have designed the game better?....Absolutely
Could this game have worst graphics and design? It would be a challenge.
Bottom line, this game sucks.

I've never felt compelled to write a review. Wasting $50 on this crap finally put me over the edge. This game looks good at first glance. Graphics are nice and the cars look good. The game play is awful. My character crawled out of an overturned vehicle and through a wall. Attempting to enter cars is interesting, he moves from the side to in front of the car instantaneously, forcing me to carefully position him over and over again for repeated attempts at gettting inside. Driving is squirrely and not very realistic, a truck moving at moderate speed can leave the ground quite easily, seems they were attempting to simulate a low gravity environment? My list of complaints goes on, it's just not worth bothering... In summary, don't waste your money, or if you do, please buy my copy of this crap game so I won't feel as bad.
"GTA 3D was spawned by the Driver series!!!!"

No, it wasn't. I remember being very excited when Driver 1 was supposed to come out. You were supposed to be a gangster, running from the law, a game built oin the same engine (same physics) as the destruction derby games.
BUT, whoever made Driver 1 thought it way too controversial to make a villian as the lead, so they decided to make it an "on the run" police officer. that was weak and i lost interest in it, don't care how great the game was. do i want a watered down version of an artist's vision? please, why don't you put that fig leaf on "David"'s unit in Florence.
So, here we go, now we have driv3r, a couple years after the GTA wave breaks. yay! in driv3r they finally let you get out of the car and do foot missions, fight, shoot, run over people, now that the coast is clear. there is nothing innovative about what they are trying to do here. driv3r is not the original. any company that forfeits it's edginess to be politically correct will not get my money. might as well have tipper gore in the passenger seat the whole time, telling tanner what he could and could not do.
