Control the cars on the road as you race, blocking other racers and opening clear paths for yourself just made this game something else. I did not expect to be able to jump from your car into another, in such a quick space of time. I was overwhelmed and got goosebumps it was so different. Completely stunned by what was happening. I stuck to it for a little longer when the game began to change. The voice acting so bad, it made me cringe. Driving around, feeling like the game is seriously limited. I began playing and already felt like the handling sucked. So, here's me thinking this game is going to suck really bad. I didn't watch trailers or reviews I just went straight to playing the game. I began this game, expecting the Driver Franchise to be ruined because I heard that you can't get out of your car, and it was just driving. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall a pretty solid title and a turn for the good for the Driver series after multiple rather disappointing titles. The game is still good for one or two complete playthroughs and fans of the open world racing genre might find themselves addicted to simply racing through the city. The career missions are often bland chases or escapes and the story, full of generic characters, seems to go nowhere, making the side missions more interesting than the main ones many of the cars handle exactly alike, and the AI traffic can be quite stupid at times. Some things however put a few dirty spots on the otherwise great picture. Other outstanding features are 70s style car chase special missions and a variety of stunt challenges. The map is huge and fun to bash across, the car park features over 100 various models from a last few decades, including lots of classics and muscle cars, and the soundtrack makes for a brilliant mood with a superb choice of over 70 songs ranging from funk and soul to alternative rock and light electronic music, shining with names such as Aretha Franklin, the Beastie Boys, DJ Shadow, Jamiroquai, Queens Of The Stone Age and The Black Keys. For most parts the execution is quite well. The map is huge and fun to bash across, the car park features over 100 various models from a last few decades, including lots of classics and muscle cars, and the Driver San Francisco tries to emulate a swanky 70s detective movie atmosphere in modern times and, in contrast to recent games of the series, puts the focus back on cars and cars only.
