Are you a blocker or a racer?

The Sylvester Stallone Formula One racing flick turbos to the Nintendo GameCube.

In Story mode, you follow the skid-mark adventures of cagey vet Joe Tanto (Stallone in the flick) as he tries to reign in young hotshot Jimmy Bly (Kip Pardue), whose cool is beginning to go south under the pressure of a fast-lane lifestyle. Tanto is haunted by memories of a horrible accident years before and must come to terms with his past if he wants to help his protégé net the checkered flag.

As you progress in Story mode, you can unlock hidden cars and tracks. In all, there are 12 drivers to choose from, each with unique personalities and driving styles. The eight tracks include Angel's Bay in California, downtown New York traffic (!) and the English countryside.

Driven GCN also features Arcade and two-player Multiplayer modes.

More so than in most race games, Driven emphasizes teamwork, with one driver blocking to ensure that his partner can capture success for the team. As in the movie, flawless driving will usher a player into a peak-performance "zone."

GCN-exclusive enhancements include fast load times, steady 60 frames-per-second action, improved handling and four all-new music tracks.

The sound effects played a key role in the movie and development house BAM Studios has labored hard to bring all those growling engines and screeching brakes to video-game life in glorious Dolby Surround Sound. The film's talent contributed their vocal talents, including Sly's very own humming. It sure doesn't hurt that the Nintendo GameCube has some of the niftiest sound-processing gear this side of a fancy-schmancy stereo.

This inaugural GCN title from BAM! Entertainment delivers high-octane arcade action. Progress is saved to a Memory Card (not included).

Driven for the Nintendo GameCube is in stores now. Driven for the Game Boy Advance has also been delivered to stores.
