This game is great. This is one of the many games where the objects you hit can either damge your car, or fly into the air. Hours of fun playing over 40 missions. Many types of games you can play. The cops are smart. You can be a good driver and they wont do anything or be a horrible driver and chase you down with road blocks. Graphics are great. This game is a must buy!

This game is the best game I have ever played. Its graphics, controls, objectives, and challenge, make this the best game I have. I am not usually one to like driving games, but this one is different. Cops are smart and challenging to out run. The story line is absolutely amazing. The game is challenging, but at the same time fun. People in this game actually try to run out of the way of cars. Choose your route to get to your objective. This game has provided me hours of fun. Even after I beat the game I still wanted to go back and play it again. This game took me a long time to beat so you won't get bored of it. After playing missions you get used to the city and learn where to ditch cops, also the fastest routes to get to places. THIS IS A MUST GET GAME

Driver is a brilliantly executed all-action racer. There are literally many routes by which one can tackle and complete each mission.

The Police chases are excellent, with just the right level of difficulty for the average driving game addict. I highly recommend that you download the cheat that enables you to skip the training mission though- I found that part of the game to be extremely frustrating!

Once you 'get into' this game, you won't be able to 'put it down'- guaranteed!

I prefer the graphical detail of Driver to Midtown Madness, as Midtown tends to look a little too artificial at times. Driver is more of a hardcore-gamer's title than Midtown in my opinion.

The 70s retro music is great and so too the in-game speech. The missions are interesting, and the night-time/early morning sky, is literally 'breath-taking'! Great atmosphere through out the game.

Get this game if you love high-speed chases, and you're bored with normal racing games.

I'm using a PIII 500MHz/128Mb/GeForce 2 GTS/Sound Blaster Live! Player 1024, and I've encountered no game-play problems. Incidentally, the game also runs very well on a TNT2.

A spectacular game!

"Driver" is one of those rare games that comes along once every 5 or so years. A game that makes your blood rush through your veins. It seems to be consistantly interesting, as you choose where to go, and the cops react differently every time. Speeding down the wrong side of the Miami freeway at 95 mph with 3 cops right behind you is pretty darned exiting. The cars come out of no-where and you have to zone out everything else to swerve out of their way. You start to feel as though you ARE the person in the car, out-running the cops. Some of the most exiting moments in the game are when you can look behind you and see the accidents you've caused by screaming throught the city streets. This is a GREAT game.

Many racing simulations simply don't have the real thrill in themselves, because their drivers can be turned into complete beginners, which can't even sit behind the wheel. Driver is different. You have to qualify for the game and then the fun beginns. From driving around the city and getting acquainted with it up to full adrenaline challenges against the cops - over 40 missions will surely be enough for quite a while. And the police certainly isn't so stupid as it could be presumed - you'll have to give your best to outrun them. Graphics and sounds are near perfect. Oh, and DO CRASH at least once - the crashes are so nice...

This game has the best physics of any driving game I've ever played - augmented by the fact that it's big-bouncy-shock physics of old 70's cars. Everyone needs to have this game (and a force-feedback steering wheel - an absolute must on this game). The funky 70's music and blurring lights really takes ya back to Shaft or Starsky & Hutch. The dirt tracks and hang-time bring to mind the good old days of Dukes of Hazzard.

This if my favorite installment in the Driver series. When i first put this game in the PSX and found out that the circle button was a special burnout button i was like "oh yea, this is the best game ever!". Yes the graphics are a little rough after playing Parallel Lines but it's still a true classic and always will be. One thing is for sure, and that is there will never bee a game with crazier cops. Try getting full felony, and getting good speed with cops a good ways behind you and slowdown really quick over the hump bridges in Miami. The cops just fly over you, its awesome. Great game. Still a favorite

Driver is a very good game. The first part, where you have to prove your skills, is too tough to be the first thing you do, but once you can get past it, you have the skills to succeed. Handling is a little hairy, and takes a lot of getting used to. Your car doesn't take much damage, so you have to be very precise. The cops start off gentle, but quickly become vicious, setting up roadblocks and ramming you head-on. You have to learn how to properly avoid them. All in all, the game is really fun.

Released for the Playstation in 1999, this is by far the most fun driving game I have ever played. I recently purchased it for the PC and it runs well on Windows 7 (nice). Driver starts you with training in a garage and you have to execute several moves against a stopwatch to get 'chosen' for a job. The training tryout is the make-it or break-it moment for this game. It looks so simple to pass but it takes alot of practice to complete the moves in the given time. If you have the desire to win at the training, you will be rewarded by being prepared to drive for the remaining episodes. Trust me - you need to master the training or you will not last long in the game. GT Interactive did an amazing job in that training section (don't try to rush through it - get strong at each move). Also, before Driver, GT developed 'Demolition Derby' and they carried over & improved the physics and car damage into Driver. Overall, they make it fun to crash into things while keeping the violence at a minimum (e.g., your character drives a car - he doesn't use a gun, there isn't any blood (that I remember), etc.) - the goal is to drive - it is that simple.

Great job and it is great to see it running on Windows 7 (this game is ~10yrs old).

Looking at some of the other reviews here that knock this game because of its difficulty makes me a bit mad. I found the game to be hard (the briefcase mission took me dozens of attempts) but this is what makes the game last - I still go back to it occasionally, looking for new ways to get the president home safe.

Try getting to the gas station on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge, or getting back to the hideout in China Town, playing "Survival" if you want impossible.

By 2003 standards this is basic on graphics, all the roads are straight-line and the game fairly linear, but it still holds its own against its modern counterparts, and can be fun, and a challenge. Bouncing around those steep "Bullett" streets in San Franscico, or trying to get to the Hospital on a rainy LA night can still get the pulse racing and the palms sweaty!
