Driver 3 (Xbox, 2004)

"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.

I bought the xbox game Driver 3 and the game was in mint condition. Everything about it was professional and I am very happy with my purchase. The game itself is a classic third person shooter with free reign over the entire game, meaning you can steel any car any car and go anywhere without following the game storyline. Overall I think it is my favorite and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes GTA style games.

the cops are stupid
the a.i. isn't the greatest
the first person shooter aspect of walking around wasn't and especially now, isn't perfect.
Grand Theft Auto is still better....

BUT! This game is still fun, and a good driving game with interesting locations and cars. It's so cheap now why not pick it up to try it. You might not want to use a lot of time completing the story, but it can be done in less than two days and driver cut-scenes have always been entertaining.

This game is so frickin lame. its the worst shooter/adventure ive played this year!. lame controls and cars. dumb storyline, graphics horrible, and the driving controls SUCK!!!!! not many weapons at all! its worth 20 bucks but not a cent more!!!! buy GTA instead. this game is a discrace to all gamers. it as better use as a paper weight!

I purchased this game for my son. He loves it. he wont put it down. however after watching him play it I relized it is very graphic and shows people shooting at one another. I am a firefighter/Paramedic and I relize that this is only a game, I talked with him about it and he is very aware of the consequences of acting out violently as the game portraits. I would still have to rate the game excellent because it is by no way as violent and destructive as most of the war games they are marketing today.
