Driver epitomizes the successful console port, and then some.

The Good
Probably the best thing about Driver for GBC is that it features all the action and adrenaline that the PlayStation version did. You'll be sweatin' bullets and maneuvering through thick packs of traffic through all 15 missions, in Miami, LA & NYC! Not only that, but there are several mini-games which you can play when you're bored with the missions or just beat them all, and they do improve your skill to make you a better Driver overall.

The Bad
In some instances, the control was too finicky. However, part of this is a facet of realism, because the cars handle much like a real car would. Also, some missions were extremely frustrating and made me go blind with rage and wanting to throw the GBC across the room, but the feeling you get when you beat them is as rewarding as being accepted for a job.

The Bottom Line
Driver has all the fun and excitement the PS1 version had, albeit with fewer missions and less detailed levels. This is also the perfect game for your pocket crime fix (it's better than GTA2 for Game Boy.) In short, fans of the console version will love this game to death, and basic fans of the driving genre will also get plenty of enjoyment out of this Game Pak.
