DRIV3R

"Biggest disappointment this year?"

Introduction: Driv3r was supposed to be one of the most anticipated games this year, but instead due to the bad AI, the glitches, and most of all the gameplay the game became probably the year's most disappointing game.

Graphics (5) : The graphics IS NOT the baddest or greatest but it could have been a lot better. The graphics just seem the same to the previous drivers but just a little touch up job.

Gameplay (2): The only thing that you will found fun is the Survival mode. Which in the previous drivers kicked ass. The missions in story mode has a little challenge except for the on-foot ones you will found those amazingly easy. All you have to do is just run up to them while fire because the enemy AI is just damn straight stupid. I recall once mission where I stand at the edge og the door where i can see the Enemy's hand and leg. So I shoot him in the leg twice and he just stood there scratching neck literally. There are only two missions that are really a challenge. One you have to rescue some guy in a car by chasing the car and shooting it another is the bomb truck mission.

Sound (6) : Bad...music wise that is, but at least you can play your favorite soundtracks on your Xbox with the Jukebox in the game. The voice is outstanding Michael Madsen does a great job with Tanner and Michelle Rodriguez for also does a great job Calita.

Replay Value (4) : The only thing you would probably play again is survival or free ride. I doubt anyone would waste another 10-15 hours of their life playing this when they can play better games like good old Superman 64 or even better Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness.

Overall (5) : This game was suppose to come out earlier this year. But was delayed, usually that means "There are some problems we just found so sadly we will have to delay Driv3r and fix most if not all the problems". But they didn't do that what did they do hell if I know but what you and I know they didn't fix ****. The cutscenes and the high star actors are the only impressing thing in the game. That is really the game's and the Reflections' downfall. Trying to make the game look like a movie. For the next Driver Reflections' or whoever BETTER focus more on the gameplay then on cutscenes and high star actors giving their voices to the characters if they want Driver 4 to sell.
