Bright lights, big cities, and not much else

Despite the ongoing rivalry between the two series, Atari’s DRIV3R is to Grand Theft Auto what Avril Lavigne is to the Sex Pistols: a slick knockoff that copies the form, but not the substance, of the original.

DRIV3R is the story of Tanner, a creaky-voiced FBI agent who has carte blanche to steal cars, shoot anyone and destroy property as he goes undercover to bring down an international car-theft ring. You’ll spend your time running around on foot, getting into firefights and driving stolen cars in meticulously detailed clockwork cities, each based on a real-world locale. But unlike GTA and most of its imitators, there’s almost no potential for free-form mayhem. Oh sure, you’ll get to do some stunt driving and shoot innocents every so often, but the game takes players straight from mission to timed mission, with no room for exploration or violent shenanigans in between.
