He's the most ruthless crime lord to ever prowl the streets of the City by the Bay. His name is Charles Jericho, and he certainly did not bring his heart to San Francisco. Now the fate of the sunny city rests in the hands of one man: a detective, a hero, a Driver. John Tanner has put hundreds of criminals behind bars and chased injustice out of many a city, but this mission poses a threat like no other — and could be his last. Step into the driver's seat as the hardened detective and get ready for a relentless manhunt that could end either with the restoration of justice or the setting of the sun on the Golden Gate Bridge forever.

Take the wheel with more control than ever, harnessing the incredible ability to instantly Shift to the exact car you need — at the exact moment you need it. When you spot an enemy a block ahead, swap to a high-powered vehicle and throttle ahead to stop his getaway.

Whether you're hunting down the bad guys, racing bumper-to-bumper against a friend or taking on skill-testing dares throughout the city streets, kick it into high gear, forget about the speed limit and don't hesitate for a split second — or this ride could be your last.

One more thing i have to criticize harshly about this game is the voice acting, its just...awful. The voice acters sound like they are reading of a poorly translated japanese script with the inflections of a child that just learned how to speak english. Everyone talks like flippy from starfox. It sounds like nothing i know, but after a while it was so annoying i think its mostly what lead me to put the controller down. And all could have been overlooked if the game had substance, and well, it does, but very little, like a PB&J your hispanic nanny gave you.
The coolest part of the game is of course that you have no body to imprision your Characters soul. Which means you can possess the driver of nearly any car in San Francisco as often and as many times as you like. Cool right? Kinda.. All the cars are the same, you will be very, very lucky to see more than 4 or 5 different cars for 3 city blocks. That means going both ways. But, the upside of this is, if your in a hot pursuit situation, you can spirit out of the car the police are chasing you with; take control of the next 3 semi's that are barreling across on the other side of the street and ram them all into the pursuiters while you watch the getaway car flee. Pretty cool, the first 5 times...
There are several missions that unlock cars, parts, areas of the game and other missions. But the developers of the game really were not very creative. The missions are very repetitive because there are a very limitied number of ways you can interact with the environment. Those are: Ramming Missions, Races, Pursuits, Time Trails, Jumps, and that boring mini game they put you in that stupid situation where you have to get close to the car you are pursuing but not too close or the mission fails. Some of the missions were slightly more memorable but only because they place the player in comedic situations like being a first time driving student. But that is all it is, comedic, not a test of skill. That said however, there are some weird and funny passengers you find yourself driving around the city that can say some pretty funny or cool things while you are driving, like swaping into a cop car might make your partner say, "I've waited for this day my whole life, because i admire you so much sir!" or someone saying, "Im glad you picked me...for taking out to dinner of course!". Ubisoft did not waste this golden opprotunity to experience what the passengers of a totally random car in the city might say.
I couldnt try the multi-player even after i bought the game BRAND new because Ubisoft was not even competent enough to put the complete code on the inside of the box, 2 letters were missing, but the game was pretty bad, so i didnt really even bother calling customer support to try...call it lazy, i say quit if it's not fun anymore.
The only reason im giving this game 3 stars istead of 2 is because when everything is said and done. You need a driving game with a laid-back relaxed atmosphere when you feel that certain lazy high you get sometimes when you just want to play something that not everyone and their dog and their dogs chew toy is trying to shoot at you. The soundtrack is cool too.
The shifting ability allows you to at any moment change into any car you would like, meaning that if you mess up, the penalty is relatively minor. Some people think that this ability makes the game too easy, which it can, but it also adds an entirely new layer to the gameplay which if used properly makes it a much more enjoyable experience. The driving can take some getting used to but after about 10-15 minutes, people who have never been very good at racing games (my wife included) are able to pick up and drive. My wife especially enjoys it, because if she crashes, she can get right back into the action (using shift) without having to have too much skill in being able to recover her car. There are tons of side missions that range in difficulty from drifting 20 meters, to jumping a car 50 meters, to driving a Lamborghini under 20 Semi trailers in less than 3 minutes to racing a Mclaren F1 vs a Pagoni Zonda down a freeway at 200+mph. These missions add some variety and extend the life beyond the main story missions, which only take about 8-10 hours to complete.
The online multiplayer is just as much fun, if not more so than the singleplayer. Most modes involve everyone having the ability to shift and it keeps the game fast-paced and interesting. Tag mode allows for everyone, except the one who is "it" to shift and try and take the tag away from them. This provides for frantic and unpredictable gameplay which keeps you on the edge of your seat. Trailblazer has you fighting to stay in a trail behind a Delorean in order to accumulate points. Whoever accumulates 100 points first wins. This mode is easier for people with less skill to pick up and play as, the car you are following only goes a moderate speed and is easy enough to keep up with. This allows for less skilled players to get into the action a lot better and use shift to keep in the fun. I only described these two modes to keep the review short, but there are several different modes to play, both with shift and without, which offer gameplay styles that should suit almost all individuals. There are also demos for both the singleplayer and the multiplayer if you would like to try before you buy.
Overall, I found this game to be both enjoyable for those who enjoy racing games and those who do not and would recommend it to just about anyone.
