PlayStation version

Now this is a car driving game!

The Good
First of all, there have been some improvements in this game, first is the ability to get out of your car and go on foot!, so then you can go steal another car!, second is that you can now play any mission you want (though you will have to complete it first though), unlike the original Driver in which you had to go through the Undercover mode (where you can play the main missions) over again. And not only that, but fans of "Starsky And Hutch" are in for a treat, Antonio Fargas (who played Huggy Bear) does one of the character voices in the game!

The Bad
The graphics are a let down. Although there is a bit more variety in the graphics, the Playstation obviously just can't keep up with this game, the frame rate is often low and the glitches are too noticeable. Not only that but it looks like that the draw distance has been reduced from the original Driver (which means more pop-up)

The Bottom Line
If you liked the original Driver, then you will love this (however the graphics problems might turn some people off)
