Pros: Graphics are awsome. The best in this game type today.

Cons: The Controls leave you a little annoyed.

DRIV3R offers a different experience from games of the same type. First of all the graphics are top of the line. From the Vehicles right down to the park benches. This game has a lot to offer visually. The detail is just absolutly well done.... However there is still room for improvment. The Vehicle Damage could be a little more realistic. Speaking of realistc, DRIV3R is the most realstic game of it's kind. Your ability to get in trouble is just insane. Run a red light in front of the "PO PO's" and the man will be hot on your butt like you were O.J. in a White Bronco. Anyway, the games reality equals fun for a long time. The games versital game modes allow many different ways to play. In other words it will take a long time to fully experience this game. DRIV3R has a lot-o-fun to offer, but even Barry Bonds misses one once and a while. The sound is good for the most part. The original music leaves much to be desired. In other words, you'll find yourself playing it with the music off and your radio on a lot. Another "Woopsie" in the game is the controls. For the most part the vehicle controls are right on the money. They cars can be a little difficult to move esspecially the bigger vehicles. But the absolute worst part of the controls is when your on foot. Walking is not advised in this game. The controls are similar to the first Grand Theft Auto. Basically, you move like a bad robot dancer. But from all this bad some good does come. You have the ability to swim, something GTA doesn't have. That adds some extra fun. All in all, even though there are some major control issues, DRIV3R is an extremly worth while investment. However i believe it will only fuel the anticipation for GTA: San Andreas. But still one of the better title out there right now. Read more Less
