But its nothing compared to gta titles.

I first played Driver a couple of years ago. I picked it up in Woolworths after realising they didn't have London Racer, so, thinking it looked good having seen it on the shelves in there before, I decided to give it a go. It was amazing. I love the motel room part of the game, where you can choose one of up to three different missions every time via the answering machine. I love the overall atmosphere of the game, too-it's got massive cities and is a nice, simple game that is the perfect introduction to the Driver world.
The missions aren't too hard, but deliver the right amount of punch. They're exciting, and really involve you in the game. It actually took me about six weeks or so to get past the initial interview stage of the game, but once I did, I was fine.
Overall, Driver was another 1999 classic for the orginal Playstation, along with other heavyweights that year, Ape Escape and Crash Team Racing. If you never bought this game, make sure you do. Sure, it's all a bit dated now, but it still rocks. Highly recommended!

I've only got the demo of Driver and Driver 2
Driver 2 is such a rubbish game compared to Driver 1 Driver 2 is the the worst and rubbishest Infogrames Game ever I really hope Driv3r (Driver 3) will be a much better and harder game!

When reviewing this game my review is split up into two categories; Pro's and Con's... here goes:
-Pro's; somehow the boys at infogrammes managed to fit all of these amazingly detailed graphics onto one disc. Three of the four cities are brilliant; Miami, San Fransisco and New York. Apart from that. The roads are real, cops really do run you down, and the cars of driver really do shine in their surroundings.
Moving from in game to FMV's, the cut scenes here really do work. Somebody has spent a long time perfecting them, and they do add a lot of motion to an already brilliant game. Most notably the glistening sand and bluewater beaches of Miami do feast the eyes and the New York cut scenes capture perfectly what driver is about.
Onto sound. When playing driver you do get a "mono" feel to the in game effects, despite the stereo background music, you do get mono effects and it doesn't sound overly impressive with Pro Logic. But again what the in game lacks the FMV's make up for.-Con's; when looking at driver there are only three things that stand out as being problems. One is the Los Angeles city gameplay, it seems rushed and doesn't reflect the high quality gaming of the other three cities. Two is the 90' turns. Every single turn in driver is a perfect corner, there's no bends, no hairpins and basically it does take a lot of depth out of the skill required to play the game. Three, therefore, is the fact that you cannot actually get out of your car during gameplay, which does make the cities a lot less explorable. In summary, just buy this game! You'll love it despite it's three "pitfalls".
 The Greatest Driving Game in the World! January 20, 2002

Driver is one of the best driving games in the world! You play as this guy called Tanner, a maverick cop who hands in his badge to go undercover to take on the kingpin of crime - Castaldi.Tanner is called to the Police chief's office in New York and given instructions to head for Miami and rendzvous with this guy called Rufus. After a tip off following his arrival in Miami, Tanner meets with a number of seedy gangsters and violent hoods at an undergroung car park. Now Tanner has one attempt to get a job with the mob as the gang's lead getaway driver. This game takes you from Miami, to Frisco, to Los Angeles and back to New York. You main objective: to uncover the true intentions behind the ever-increasing power and influence of the Castaldi family...and bring him down! Superb vehicle handling, mind-blowing graphics, amazingly detailed cities and the sheer exhilaration of racing down narrow streets at high speed while transporting some of the most dangerous criminals ever and being chased by a bunch of police officers that will stop at nothing until you're tightly behind bars makes 'Driver' one joy-ride that you will never forget!
