Bright lights, big cities, and not much else

Strangely, none of this is made forgivable by the fact that, when you’re on foot, you can win any firefight by just standing behind a wall and shooting around the corner. But the worst thing about DRIV3R is that it’s not all bad. The cities are huge and beautiful, with country-appropriate cars, and while the gameplay is muddy, it’s easy to see how it could have been better. But as it is, DRIV3R is all flash and little substance.

You'll love
  • Big, detailed clockwork cities
  • Great-looking visuals
  • Free Ride mode lets you explore
You'll hate
  • Inconsistently demanding difficulty
  • It's way too easy to "lose" chase targets
  • Cell phone version is actually the best
