I must be one of the only people that finds GTA not that fun. When I played 3 and Vice City, I got bored of the game in like 5 minutes. My main complaint is the driving physics. I thought Driver 3 is a better game because the driving physics are great. People may get frustrated becuase they have to master how to do power slides and and use the ebrake but I believe it makes the game more fun. If you don't then you will never catch people. The driving A.I. is great I think. When someone is fleeing from you they are not just going to drive straight and slowly make right and left turns. They make sharp turns and weave in and out of trafic. It's just like controling the case car in a movie. I do however agree with the others that trying to shoot people was hard, but I got used to it pretty fast. Overall I would recogmend this game.
Driving is cool

The Driving in this game is cool and semi-realistic. The damage to the cars looks amazing. But other than that it all blows. The missions are so unbelievably hard it's not even fun. If you don't have auto-aim on then you aren't going to get anywhere because the shooting is extremely unrealistic and also hard. The cop cars are ten times as fast as yours so have fun running from them. There is no good rocket launcher except some dinky thing that shoots out little grenades and they only go like 30 feet. Overall I and it looks like many other people say save your money or get GTA.
Close but no cigar

Driver 3 is a driving adventure game that plays like an interactive movie. It is a worthy sequel to the earlier Driver games. It has cinematic gameplay and great graphics on three open city environments. There are issues with video glitches, control issues, locked-up consoles, etc. but most of the time it is a lot of fun. You also have the "Take a Ride" mode for easy driving practice. The mini-games allow for replay value even after you beat the game. If the game had less glitches, we would be talking an easy 5 star rating. The PC version should be even better.
Don't even bother renting!

Only 3 missions into the game and I am annoyed. I'll quote another reviewer:
"When you play missions over and over and over constantly failing to even get close to the car your trying desperately to chase because your burn out or hit a pole that completely stops you and with in seconds the title says " You lost him" or " He got away" , the frustration is unbearably constant."
The controls suck. You would think a game named "Driv3r" would have awesome controls AT LEAST on the cars. What makes this a 'driving' game?
Well, at least they spent a lot on the advertising. Should be enough to lure some suckers into buying it.
Fun but Short

This game has recieved many mixed reveiws from people mostly who seem to think this was a grand theft auto wannbe. This is driver not GTA. Don,t listen to the geeks who never like a game no matter what it is. Try it if your a fan of the first two games. A little to short and radio is gay, but the game is fun.
LACKING BUT FUN 7.5 OUT OF 10

When this game first came out I had fun with it for hours just stealing cars, crashing them, shooting them, and getting chased by the police in places like Chicago, Istanbul, and Nice. The graphics are actually pretty good still to this day, the crash damage on your vehicle is believable, the shooting mechanics work great, and stealing cars is a cinch. However there are problems that mar this game like: the lack of good music(seriously, it's dull), and the city feels a bit lifeless at times, not to mention odd glitches at times. While it may not hold a candle to GTA, it still is fun.
For fans of racing games

First off, I'm not a hard-core gamer I just play when theres nothing else to do. I normally play racing games and occassionaly halo. So far, from what I've played I really enjoy this game. I like being able to just walk around and then the ease of getting a vehicle :D Overall....good game

Ok, I understand the lack of blood is to reduce complains, but what about kids who are used to blood?
Graphics are good, if you average the great graphics of the cutscences and the unrelastic ingame graphics. There is a lack in sense of speed in the game. I am not asking for the insanity of Burnout. I just want the cars to go faster.
Nice background music, and the cars sound cool, but shouldn't every vehicle have a completely different sound?
Very addictive. That is, to someone who never played GTA. I WANT MY GTA.
Of course, Driver : Parallel Lines will improve on Driv3r(the graphics, the sound, the GTAness)...
not even close

ok it is alot like gta exept for the fact that it has no features ecxept for free roam. missions are very linear. you can drive a car and that is about all the fun your ever gonna have. i can see that kids want gta. this is not even close to as much fun as some other no blod gta clones. here are a couple i think did a good job. true crime new york is the closest. mercinaries is the best graphics and gamesplay. it gives more features than even gta. one of the less popular clones is mafia. that game is just hands down the best one. u want a non vilent gta go buy mafia. the last one is probably the most different. it has everything gta has besides xxx even the mass amounts of blood. they gave it a great twist. we have all thought to ourselves at one time hey how about a tony hawk were you can kill and steal cars and stuff. the game that did the un thinkable is none other than total overdose. so my point is that driver sucks so just dont even bother renting it.
