 Everything you want to do on the road in real life, but dontDec 03, 1999
It's about time! Finally a game with real-life driving through real cities with total real-life situations. This game is a blast. Whether you're doing donuts in the street or lawn, smashing other cars for fun, fish-tailing around corners, scaring the pedestrians, or in a high-speed pursuit with Johnny Law...this game is extremely hard to put down! Worth every penny! I am eagerly awaiting a sequel!

 A solid driving game with a sense of adventureDec 03, 1999
Although not as sleek or sophisticated as some of the other driving games on the market, Driver does provide something the others do not. A sense of adventure. The game does not force feed a load of cartoonish or mindless sets of missions, but rather provides a well developed story line that gets the gamer engrossed in the situations and circumstances the character finds himself in. Other great attributes of the game are the tons of "extras" included besides the main storyline. You can have hours of fun just driving around a particular city, getting chased by the Fuzz or chasing targets and demolishing them. The movie style replays are also very cool to watch after completing a mission. The analog controller is very well adapted for playing this game, with the vibrations complementing the Sound Effects perfectly. I recommend this game to any gamer of any age. It is a solid game and you won't be disappointed.

Wow..Jun 29, 2000
There's a reason why this was the best selling video game of 1999. When I popped this into my playstation for the first time..allmost exactly a year ago, I expected a lot, this coming from the people that brought me Destruction Derby, a game that has given me countless hours of entertainment. Driver delivered, big time. They created a free-roam city enviroment that was just incredible. The civillian cars, the police, the 70's muscle cars..how can you not love this game?The game has the undercover mode, which is the actual game itself, in which you play Tanner, the undercover cop that plays freelance Driver for the mob. Tons of missions, tons of beautiful cutscenes with an involving plotline that concludes with a twist I dont think anybody expected. The game has Mini-Games, where you can see how long you can run from the cops, see if you can follow and trash a specific car in the shortest time possible, or try your hand at the practice course. The game also has the Take A Drive mode, which lets you take your car and do whatever you want with it. That's where the fun begins. Especially with citys like San Francisco, where you've got some nice hills, you can record police crashes that are absolutely incredible. Very few games have given me this much entertainment. And to top this masterpeice off, we get some of the most classic 70's music ever created. This is a must-buy, if you havent allready.

Best Driving Game Ever!Jan 15, 2000
I think that driver is really fun and has awesome game play! The graphics when you play are pretty good, but when you're watching the little cut scenes the graphics are really good, Kinda like Final Fantasy 8. I would recommend Driver for any one who likes driving games and getting chased by cops!

For The Wheelman In EveryoneDec 12, 1999
Driver is sure to go down as a classic in the Playstation library. It puts Grand Theft Auto to shame. Anyone who's ever watched car chases in movies such as French Connection, Bullit, and the Driver should buy this now. Okay, so the plot and video sequences are underpar. Big deal, what makes this game great is the control and the fun factor. When you are speeding up a San Francisco hill and fly right over top of another car, you will thank me for recommending this game. The director mode is my favorite. You can save your replays and direct your own high octane car chase. The classic 70's cars range from a Buick, a Nova, a Cadillac, and many others. Trust me, go out and buy this game now. It took me over 20 trys to beat the last level.
