Rent it first! |
| Lance from Tracy, CA. USA says (3/Jul/2004): |
Not a bad game. Not as good as GTA II and Vice City, but still a fun game. Controls are touchy when they need to be subtle and slow when they need to be sharp. Finished it in about 20 hours total playtime. Most of the 70+ cars are not what you would want to drive (vespas, vans, renaults, etc). I would suggest renting it as you will complete the game much faster than your $40 is worth to buy it. Overall a fun enough game but nothing amazing.Driving in Miami is much more fun than Nice, cars in Miami are far better. The map gives basic directions, but doesn't tekk the whole story. Needs a "mission Briefing" option for those who lack the patience (like me) to wait through endless cutscenes in order to find out your goal in each level.

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.

disapointing |
| meat uop from england says (4/Aug/2004): |
it is very disapointing to many glitches espectially the fact that half the time you cant get in your car and you freeze. it is absolutey gay it works but the game is not as good as it was cracked out to be. i like more cheese than the cheese monkey that eats jobs for a living i dont think cheese on cars is good for the ears but no more eggs have been used since the day we soted out the monkeys no use eating cars cus no one can have a metal ear in there mouth for more than a ninute so people can not be alod to be inthy jilloplike in the bill jill op had tea

this game... |
| Elliot from Brusly, Louisiana says (10/Jan/2005): |
is really hard, Nice is better than Miami in my opinion, I love France. Some of the missions in Nice were easier then the Miami ones to me(i had a hard time killing gator). But I can't get passed the mission where you go to the Boathouse with dubois. theres this room with a forklift, I don't know what i am supposed to do, they(jericho and calita) took my weapons so i cant kill the guards, the bridge is broken, am I supposed to use the forklift to pick up boxes and make a bridge? cause the gaurds shoot the boxes off...at first i try to be calm and then i do it fine and get to the other side, but as soon as i get there the gaurds shoot me and i die, and i get really angry. I usually don't get mad at games when I lose but this mission is impossible to beat...

dissapointing but ok |
| A gamer from united kingdom says (13/Jan/2005): |
i heard reviews about the game and thought it would be a good buy. so i decided to buy it. i played it and i thought that the game was very dissapointing but at the same time ok. the lacking of tanners movement was like a 2 year old girl in a wheel chair that has flat wheels. and when i was chased.this cop car just spawned on top of my car stopping me dead. but apart from all this its not a bad game. the driving bits are great and the graphics are sex but its like the programers
(reflections) just stopped working on the game when it was only 65% complete thats why i said hugley dissapointing but ok at the same time. dont let the missions and dodgy walking spoil your driving fun.

half right! |
| robert hodgkins from manchester, united kingdom says (13/Feb/2005): |
i am not that impressed with it really!the handling on foot is just weird and out of control. the handling in the cars are rubbish too(especially the go-kart). the game is very good for the money now in dollars, pounds or whatever currency. it is really alot of fun to play and anybody who buys it will discover lots of new things and suprises. sometimes you will come across a timmy vaelliece out of suprise and there is certianly alot of action and adventure! the graphics of the game is detailed but a bit fuzzy and out of shape at times but i would still recomend buying the game. it is still alot of fun! my final summary is half right.

Dont know why everyones moaning |
| Andrew Bullingham from Tewkesbury,England says (23/Feb/2005): |
Hi y'all i brought this game a few days ago and i gotta say im liking it. Its quite a hard game but im sensing the end is close. The one with the fork-lift u must pick one up CAREFULLY drive to the gap but line up on the right side of the gap so u just extend the side!! Graphic are good like the driving but on foot is a bit strange!!!!! Lots of different missions with a nice mix of shooting and driving!!! Havent noticed many glitches apart from the electric poles in mid-air and cars coming from nowhere but that aside its a good game. Not quite GTA but still worth a look at !!!!!

| me from nottingham says (30/Mar/2005): |
well hear we are 3 games is how many the driver producers have thrown at us!Over the years the graphics have improved the missions have improved and the rubbish driving controls have stay the same but wheres the gameplay gone???????
yes the game keeps you interesteed at the start but after you have found all the secret cars, all the timmy's and had a look at the buildings(yawn)your left to drive around looking at the beach and sailing.
although iam not a huge fan off the driver series more of the getaway series but i did enjoy this game.
|
Take it or Leave it |
| a gamer from nottingham says (31/Mar/2005): |
What can i say for the driver series well they have definatly come a long way since they first brought the series out, they have improved on the graphics and the sound and iam afriad thats about it.the worst thing which i found on the game was the controls i just hate the charecter controls and the driving controls.I also found that this game can keep you emused in the take a ride mode entering buildings and i liked the idea that you had to find 10 timmy's in each city but come on the missions are to easy and i know that some of you out there found it hard and very frustraiting(babies).
iam not a huge fan of the driver series i perfere the getaway.
A summary to my fews in this game are that it has no signs of realism in and where are the areoplanes if you could fly this would make me give this game a higher score but i'am afraid that this game is RUBBISH!!!!!!

What the! |
| Jake from Canada says (27/Apr/2005): |
First of all i beat the game and they make fun of tommy becauces he cant swim ha! god they should shut up they can't even make a game with out people dropping from the sky or cop cars cheaply droping onto your car we waited 3 years and i got all exited then when i bought it i was sooooooo mad at them the cars dont even go fast like if your on the level "The chase" Your car has no grip at all or control and if you cetch up to her and ram her car your the who flips not her its like her wheels are super glued to the road you cant flip her car you need to chase her it took me 5 week to get past it i think this game is a HUGE dissapointment to me! Like come on the story line is ok until it get up to the last map its annoying and a waste of money if should be $5.oo instead of 50 its like they just worked on it for 1 year then stopped and said "OOOH we worked on it for 3 years so you better buy it! they should just shut up and a tip to them you should have stopped at driver 2!

A GOOD ADDITION TO THE SERIES. |
| RandyOrton/JohnCena fann! from West Midlands,Britain. says (27/May/2005): |
I have played this game but i don`t have it.Its great to have Tanner back after 5 years since they fired off Driver 2,which was the very first 3-Dimensional(3D) driving game where you got to steal cars of the civilians or 911 crew(Ambulance,Fire-Truck or POLICE car) but on Driver 3 you get cars,motorbikes,boats,trucks ect..Ever since Driver 2 landed on PSONE the people who developed those 2D Grand Theft Auto games(RockStar-games) made Grand Theft Auto III and a year later Grand Theft Auto:Vice City and these 2 games fixed all the problems that were on Driver 2,which were dropped graphics,solveble glitches,and better car physics like you can now see through the windows but R* never made as good car damage effects or made crashes sound realistic.any ways Driver 3 beats it two predcessors(Driver 1&Driver 2) and in my oppinion beats GTA3/VC because of the realism the aging Atari and Reflections made 3 real cities Miami again(this was also the first city in Driver 1) but this time more of the city and better looks then the 6-year old original Nice,France and Istanbul,Turkey and i never forget that all the Driver games are set in the 1970`s which most gamers forget. bye
p.s. i hope Atari and Reflections make DRIVER 4(fingers crossed) they will solve the glitches,add aircraft like planes,helicoptors,gliders and some more 911 aircraft like Police-chopper,Army planes/choppers,Air-Ambulances.
more cars would be great(i am not moaning about the lot we have already got)
more motorbike additions
and ANY thing that will make other reviews be more proud of the Driver games,so Atari and Reflections(who might never read this) play the GTA games see what the other reviewers that are not pleased with on Driver 3 and make Driver 4(if they make it) supierior to the R* GTA games,keep Tanner as the main charicter and heres the cities which would be nice Chicago,New York,Rio and London,England so Driver 4 can be sure-fire success. bye and sorry my review is long.

Its a Good Game But Not 3 Years of Work |
| A gamer from Fairfax/Virginia/USA says (1/Jul/2005): |
The Grapics in this game are a lot better than the first. Missions are hard but possable. But the game dosent seem like 3 years went into it. I wated 3 years for the game to come out and when I got I for 50 bucks and played it I just about s*** my self to see the gameplay it was bad. What pissed me off the most was with a 18 wheeler at full speed you could not nock down a light poleand thats dissopointing for a game that took 3 years to come out. What I liked about the game is that the missions a chalenge and yes I beat the game. and what I didnot like wat what I said befor. And enother thing I did not like was so many glitches and it freezes up consntly. And some more good things when your driveing a sadan the car feels, handles, and has speeds of a sadan and a sports car feels, handles, and has speeds of a sports car. Facts- there are boats but no helocopters. There are 10 timmy guys in every city and theres 3 cityes they are very hard to find tho. when you have unlocked all of them there will be 3 awsome modes you have unlocked 1 mode per city hope you can find them all. I know this is true because I have found all timmy guys and have played the modes. ther fun but I wont tell you what they are you have to find that out your self. And a fact about the timmy guys there only found in free mode and a hint there places where some of your missions took place. But there very hard to kill. Theres a few secret cars in each city to. So its Relly up to you to buy it my advice is to It gives a great chalange. so I hope this review is hlepful to you and try to keep it in mind when you buy this game. Happy Playing

good game, but some things are totaly crap |
| suracer from melbourne, australia says (10/Jul/2005): |
driv3r is a really good game, but some things are totaly crap. like say some person on the street starts ta shooot you first the cops go after you. i was so exited when i got the gamebecause i nthought there would be planes helcopters, ambulences and fire engines but it dont. i loved driver sinced it came out, but driver 3 i found a bit borng some times because the cars dont go that fast,please improve it in driver4,mak ther be planes andeverything, whats tha poit of have an aiport if th no plane, please improve this thanks!

not to bad |
| jordan from holmen/wisconsin says (7/Sep/2005): |
I really enjoy the game but i hate how there are hardly any places you can go into and i agree with another review that its bullcrap that you cant flip out cars your chasing in the missions and how the cars have no grip and then theres no sense of speed. and whats up with taking out things like the crane you get to use in the mission "18 wheeler". just a couple more things i hate how cluddered the third level is. i do like this game, but three years of work, ha my < remove me > at $$! at the airport in the 2nd level you dontsee any planes come in and out. finally i think they should have put in a helicopter, a plane, and a tank just one of each. well everyone i hope you enjoy/ enjoyed the game. later.

love the game, but could be better |
| shnookey from bucks, england says (20/Dec/2005): |
I think the driving part of the game is brilliant, however a lot of the missions are pointless and make no sense. I think that freedom is limited in the game, most buildings cannot be entered and some boats lie on the water and you can't drive them! However I have always come back to this game and I seem to play it in random phases. The best thing about driver 3 is the cops. GREAT FUN. I spend ages getting chased by cops and doing crazy stunts while i am at it. The only problem is that it only takes about 30 seconds to get the wanted bar at the top and only cars chase you. No boats, no planes/helicopters - nothin. I expect big improvements in driver 4. Overall, a game worth getting.

this game is the best DRIVING game ever. |
| A gamer from England , walsall says (27/Jun/2004): |
DRIV3R is so cool, best out of the three. I think it will have along lifespan as DRIVER 2 did. Its high qualaty all round makes it so life like. Its so better that you get real weapons. What makes it better is that motor bikes and speed boats are now involed in the best driving game
|
This game is only OK |
| DrivingGameMan from Haverhill, MA says (3/Jul/2004): |
I rented the game and don't like that you only get one gun at a time. I liked that you can swim, but I didn't like that you lose health when you are swimming. The motorcycle doesn't handle to good. Its average. The undercover part of the game is crap.

GTA MAKES DRIVER 3 LOOK LIKE A AMETAUR |
| Eh$@n from London says (29/Jun/2004): |
I was really dissapointed when i played this game. They could of made this game so much better. The gameplay graphics are just poor. The gameplay isn't bad although it will take quite long to get used to riding the bikes. Your lifespam is good and there are lots of medi kits for you to use. But there are some good things aswell such as trying to find secret vehicles in take a ride and killing civilians and trying to get away from the cops. Some of the missions are really anoying, but the most anoying thing about driver 3 is the lamp posts. You can't even knock them down like in Grand theft auto. Every time i'm about 2 finish a mission the lamp post comes in my way and i have to start all over. I just feel like braking the game. They could of made the music better and they should of allowed you to be able to shoot out of your vehicle in take a ride. I do not recommend this game to impatient gamers and i stil think Grand theft auto is much better!

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.
|
Good, but not great |
| William J. Russell from Birmingham, England says (3/Jul/2004): |
upon playing driver 3, i do believe that it is far better than the first two although they cud do with improving the handling of the vehicles. I also felt that it was difficult to complete certain missions as the aiming on the guns is useless. The graphics are good though they dont beat the GTA games and the added games are harder than i would have expected, though this may be because of the lack of care taken in the final finishing stages of making this game. On the whole i feel that there are games that make Driver 3 look quite poor though i've enjoyed it on the whole and would say that it's worth buying, although it must be bought in the second hand section because thats the only place you will get the proper price for a game like this.
