Driver Critic Reviews

Delivers in spades exactly what it sets out to do: It lets the gamer be the wheelman in a non-stop car-chase movie. This is everything a driving game should be. It is, for all intents and purposes, perfect.

I just don't have the words to describe how much fun this game is. Rarely does a game captivate the stoic and hypercritical Game Revolution office, but Driver has done just that.

What a tour-de-force! The graphics are top notch, the driving itself is unparalleled and the Director tools are unique and friendly... It's pure driving poetry.

One of the freshest, exciting and entertaining titles we have played in 1999. Reflections has done it again with a title that breaks boundaries and creates a new level of entertainment.

Prepare to be dazzled, gob-smacked and taken for the wildest ride of your life. And that's guaranteed... a masterpiece. The best game we've played for ages and absolutely recommended.

Warning: Do not take caffeine while in the driver's seat. It may lead to insanity.

Eat your hearts out David Soul, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood.

The one main thing this game has though is staying power. I often found myself throwing the controller in disgust and turning off the game only to be drawn back to it shortly afterwards.

A cross between "Destruction Derby" and "Grand Theft Auto," an interesting mix of driving, story, action and a heavy film influence thrown in, Reflections has created one of the best games the PlayStation has ever seen.

Gt Interactive has hit a sweet spot with this must have title of the year.

Its cool story line, kick-ass muscle cars, and high-speed action make it a ride you won't want to miss.

After playing "Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit" for months on end, I had developed an image in my mind of how video game policemen were supposed to act. Driver shattered that image.

The exhilaration of managing to lose a cop by going down a little side alley, leaving boxes overturned in your path is just superb.

It's seriously fun, has tons of gaming options and is nice and lengthy with a healthy does of challenge attached to it. Major bang for your gaming dollar.

Given the style of this game, there should have been better analog controller support.

Another thing that kinda irks me is the fact that the game pretty much flaunts a late 60's model Mustang muscle car as your main ride, but yet there is only like 1 mission that lets you drive it... its never the default car in any level.

The actual driving controls and physics in the game are great except for one thing. The analog steering controls are very jerky.

The only problem Driver has is that the whole thing gets old pretty quickly.

A topnotch driving engine and levels based on real-world locations made both Driver and "Driver 2" surefire hits.

If you can get past the driver's test (and the hideously hard last level), you'll find an addictive driving game that's jam-packed with crazy stunts, insane car chases and more thrills than a season's worth of Miami Vice.
