Wow amazing game TT , is that the same Driver that was on playstation and pc ? I mean play 1
Ye, the third one

TT, give a detailed honest review of it. The reviews for that game have been pretty bad so far. I would like to hear a review from someone I know. I am a fan of the series and was looking forward to 3, but the reviews have been lackluster at best
I never read reviews before buying games or watching movies because to many times they are written by ppl that are really to harsh with their opinions.

Let's get it straight, Driver 3 isn't probably the best game out there, and in the same cathegory I would pick GTA3 or VC anyday.
That said, Driver (1 and 2) was one of the best PSX games (and best seller too). The third one is the natural evolution. As I already said, the best part is still when you have to chase somebody, and the 3 cities are DAMN big! With lot and lot and LOT of roads! There are many cars, bikes, trucks, bus and boats to play with. the physic model didn't impress me as it did back on the PSX, but it has been a while since I played Driver2... globally it's not really realistc, the way you have to use brakes or handbrake to steer your car, especially when you need to chase somebody driving really fast. But it's still damn fun!
The accidents are even better than before with cars you can completely destroy, and when they explode, they really blown to pieces. I also love the level or interaction with the cities! VERY high! First of all you can finally kill somebody with your car while in driver and driver 2 they always managed to escape!
When outside the car, you have many weapons, GTA style: guns, with or without silencer, shotgun, rifle, uzi, grenade launcher and so on you can shoot anything, if you shoot on the wall the bullets will leave holes, you can crash the windows of vehicles, blown their tires or make them explode obviously. YOu can also kill ppl inside the car as in GTA VC. When inside the building like your home or during missions, you can shoot bottles and they will brake, televisions, fridge, flipper, chairs, tables, ANYTHING! And every object will react when shooted!
Sadly the way Tanner move on foot is pretty shitty. With the left thum you go forward / backward, with the other one you turn... painfull when you are surrounded by ppl with machineguns
I would go on forever probably, and we could talk about the plot to, but I think there is a simple conclusion since you loved the first two opus: buy it right away, you won't be disappointed!
