waste of money and time, had more fun with head down toilet |
| nutz from london says (4/Aug/2004): |
so disappointing ive sold my copy already. from the moment you start playing the music in the game numbs your brain so your in a zombie like state and then the tedious, repetitive car chases snap you into a bored frenzy of frustration. graphics look good but do no justice to the game play which i thought was supposed to be fun for £40 quid! theres essentially nothing exciting in the undercover mode or free roaming. if your someone intreasted in cruising round lokking at architecture in 3 different cities this games for you. my copy of driver3 lasted a week before completion in about 8hours including walking it back down the shop and selling it back! if you want advice DONT buy it!

GREAT CHALLENGE! |
| Steve-O from Texas, USA says (3/Aug/2004): |
I love this game. Yes it's way harder than the GTA series but what's a game if you can beat it in a day. I love challenges and this game delivers. For you who hate losing control when taking turns, try letting off the gas instead of trying to gun through them. This game is very realistic when driving the cars and scooter but I have to admit the street bike does suck. Granted there is no blood, so what blood doesnt make the game its the gameplay and the graphics. Being able to swim is something new.
This game was worth every penny!

Unnecessarily hard |
| Bubba from Texas says (2/Aug/2004): |
Hey, If the game is to easy it's not fun. However, the missions here are almost impossible. I'm stuck trying to kill Gator. I'm on try # 107. I'll admit, I'm persistant but there comes a time when enough is enough. Now I know why kids are so violent these days. It's because games like this frustrate the hell out of them and me. I'd love to meet the game designer so I can punch him in the mouth. Maybe if there were a cheat code I could use at least then perhaps I wouldn't hate this game so much. I could use it to get past an impossible mission so I could continue to enjoy the game. Not this game, not one cheat code I found worked. The game designers hate game players in this game. Definately save your money and buy something that's a little easier on the nerves.

Good and bad |
| Don't know do ya from usa says (2/Aug/2004): |
Well the good part is the graphics. The cars and guns. But the bad part is the light poles. ya just can't hit them down. And when you hit somebody they do not go under the car the fly over. and i don't think people can jump out of the way that kwik. Also when you swim out far you lose life. I died running from the cops. where is all of the blood. Also when you have the cops on you just a little bit of the cop bar up they shot you. Also they stand on the side walk not behide anything and just walk and shot.

Others say it has glitches, i say it's a fault with the disk. |
| Ryan from Australia says (29/Jul/2004): |
I purchased this game about 4 months ago and so far there have been no glitches. grand theft auto has more glitches. judging by the way others have been saying driver 3 has more glitches than GTA, i would have to say it is not the game, it's the disk.There could be more cheats for it though. GTA has millions more cheats than Driver 3. And by the way, if you are asked to download something when you enter this page, keep clicking no because it is a trojan horse. My antivirus software picked it up as soon as i clicked yes. good luck

the best yet |
| dave the master of rating games from scotland uk says (25/Jul/2004): |
driver 3 is the most realistic so far. Grand theft auto 5 will be the best but driver3 look at the graphics sound you name it. The bit i think thats most realistic is you can swim in water in grand thef auto you can't, the cars cities characters i mean it's the best game yet for all consoles it even beats the xbox, the gamecube, gameboy advanced sp, the ps one and the pc. the guns on driver 3 are also realistic. the boats, the cars, lorrys you name it. the police are also realistic well thats all from me see ya later dudes.

eh... it was okay. |
| A gamer from St. Charles, Il. USA says (23/Jul/2004): |
at first the controls are really annoying, though the gameplay is decent once you get used to them, and its actually pretty addicting and definitly better than a lot of driving games i've played. but it's just not a game that really shines like ninja gaiden or splinter cell, like it was cut out to be, I guess I just expected better, though I do like the custom soundtracks option, even though it doesn't have random play(crap) at least i dont have to listen to any of the stupid music they try to shove down your throat... so its an alright game to waste time away with, but not worth the buy....thank god I only rented it

A very good game |
| Jack nunn from England says (17/Jul/2004): |
driver 3 is a very good game but some things do let it down for instance u cannot kick or punch and when u are getting chased by the cops u try to turn and u just go out of control! but the thing that is better than grand theft auto games is that when the police are near you and ur going to fast they chase after you and when you have your gun out near them they chase you and the things that really gives it a thumbs up is the graphics i mean have you seen them so i give them game a huge thumbs up!
|
this game is not that hard |
| kyle from kent, england says (16/Jul/2004): |
all of u who think that driver 3 is so difficult are just little babies, hard games are better than easy games, i wouldnt wana play a game that i can complete in 1 day, that would b a waste of money. driver 3 is a great game.
The shoot out missions arnt very gd because this game is still focused more on driving than anything else, i think the story line of the game is very gd and the take a ride mode is great.
gta vice city gets boring after a while of playin it but this game doesnt

A Unexpected Disapointment |
| Someone from tampa, Fl. USA says (12/Jul/2004): |
Driv3r is supposed to be greater than GTA3 vice city (according to most game magz). Swimming is new, long awaited in a game like this and fun. Fighting one on one isnt to great.When fighting you can only shoot (and not kick the hell out of someone?). Fighting sucks in this game. Missions are entertaining to an extent. Although, the missions do seem quite impossible. Its almost like you have to perfectly plan out when to turn , how to turn, which directions, and what route to take when doing a chase. Each mission took me atleast 5 - 15 tries just to get it. As far as flying helicopters, planes, gore, fighting, going anywhere you want, and everything else thats entertaining goes; play GTA3. screw driv3r. (game makers need to make a game where you can go into any building and any room, hit someone with anything around, swim, fly air crafts, any such other LIFE LIKE THINGS. The Cheats should be things like , flying like superman, cussing someone out, changing shoes to steel toed face stompers and blah. screw it let me make the game) ~~Opinion of someone.

ok but not great |
| bhavik from syracuse,ny. usa says (11/Jul/2004): |
i bought driver 3 a few days ago and this game is one of the hardest games i ever played the missions are hard as hell. the one thing i liked about this game was take a ride. but the game was to diffuclt for me. if u thought the missions were to easy i think ur an idiot. this game is not good for an average person i poeple that would like this game are the losers that have no life and only play vidio games all day. i thought vice city was a ten times better game due to the cars and the guns they had.
the game i would buy is vice city not to hardbut not to easy Driver is out of my league.

DRIV3R |
| A gamer from Arnhem, Netherlands says (10/Jul/2004): |
I bought driver 3 a few weeks ago. As a lot of people i was very excited to see how the game would turn out. Well in my case it was dissappointing. I first started playing the free roam mode to get used to the controls and the handling of the cars. While I was playing, it occurred to me that the light during daytime was very bright and after a few hours started irritating my eyes, so I couldn't focus on the game. Another thing that was annoying was the fact that I couldn't knock over the lanterns, so after taking a tight corner I often crash against those annoying things, which can be very irritating in a chase..... Also very annoying was when I tried to enter a car and mr. tanner just doesn't follow my orders and keeps standing next to it.
But in total the game is quite amusing and it has a nice story-line in it. The reason that the game looks so dissapointing could be too high expectations from the gamer.

NOT VERY GOOD |
| A gamer from Nj says (10/Jul/2004): |
I have played theses games alot and have never written a review I felt compelled to do so being that I waited along time for a game that just did not deliver. The graphics are decent not amazing and the plot and story are also okay however the controls suck and the glitches in the game are unexceptable ,I am actually going to try to return my game to Atari who said they were banking on this game ,,,if so I think they may have some problems being that I have seen alot of unhappy people saying the same things
|
very realistic and massive cities |
| malcolm from birmingham england says (9/Jul/2004): |
I found driver 3 to be much improved on 1 and 2 i like the way you can board the yachts and go from room to room the crashes are
realistic with bits of cars falling off,but i would have liked reflections to have included two main items and that is a dashboard cam so the driver and dash could be easily seen upon
entering the vehicles and also being able to fly in an airplane
to veiw the city from the air then to me the game would be complete however i give this game 7 out of 10.

its the worst |
| marc from usa says (9/Jul/2004): |
without dought the game i was most looking forward was driver 3. i ignored other reviews which were bad to say the least, well yes it is bad more so infact it's bloody awful so many glitches and faults with the i dont know where to begin. to much pop up animation is terrible driving the motorcycle is dull handling is bad and on and on. i still played it hell i paid for it so im goin to play it no matter what thats when the real problems start. look please don't buy it rent it first the makers of this game should be ashamed. STAY AWAY FROM IT

good clean fun |
| A gamer says (4/Jul/2004): |
i purchased getaway 3 just 3 days ago and have had fun playing it since, the graphics are great especially on the cut scenes, the plot is good so far and the vehicles so much more life like the GTA. I see everyone want to be able to run through lamp posts but they want realism with gore well you cant ask the designers for everything its one or the other how many cars you seen ride through a post and keep driving off at the same speed? I must admit i wasnt overly impressed by the shooting capabilities in this game but i cant blame the designers for the fact that gamepads sucks when it comes to lining up cross-heirs. but over all i think this game is a must see if not a must buy

a ok |
| mouldzy from london england says (4/Jul/2004): |
when i first played this game i fought it was rubbish i fount the controls hard and the first couple of missions boring but then i got into it a bit more ,the graphics are awesome and u can swim in water the only thing tht i fought was seriously disapointing was the one on one compat it doesnt have auto aim making it hard 2 hit your target.overall i think this is a decent game but i think u should rent it before u buy it you'll all in all this game gets a thums up from me but i dont know about u.

driver 3 |
| kenny from Tennessee,USA says (3/Jul/2004): |
I just bought driver3. I was very excited when i brought it home i went straight to my ps2 and popped it in then one of biggest dissappointments of my life came when this game started. You cant even go through light poles which is very annoying ,and gun to gun combat on this game just sucks. The missions on this game are fairly easy except for a few. The best part of this game compared to gta is SWIMMING. That is the best idear for a game like this in a long time. Gta when you hit the water youre dead in this game you just jump out and swim to a ladder but thats the only way out of the water. you cant get out on the dock you have to find a ladder or steps that lead into the water. but overall this was a dissapointing game. i strongly recomend you rent it before you buy it, some people might like it but i dont.

driver 3 |
| A gamer says (3/Jul/2004): |
first off, lamp posts are not something that should be able to be knocked down. anyway...yes, the handling of the boats and bikes sucks and yes, the aiming with the guns and crap is lame, but dammit, the game is fun. good graphics, good action, good times. the end.
|
This is a great game if u can stand a few bugs |
| Ge@stE$ from centralia missouri USA USA!!!!! says (3/Jul/2004): |
the gameplay is good,it has great graphics,and has a good vorietty of guns,so y is it that so many people hate it?After all it is great game.the only problem i can think of,is theres not a single drip of blood.And insens ur lifespan is good,the avrage gamer will probly be alive for a while and if like me,lol will have caused alot of HAVOC and destroction and with that not a single drip of gore... ... how original...But over all the gamplay,graphics ,and,weponry make up for the problems with the game.I give it a 9 outta 10
