Driver: San Francisco (Xbox 360)

 

Chasing down crooks in high-speed chases, performing death-defying feats of driving, or bringing down entire criminal organisations might be a bit much for your average cop, but Driver: San Francisco's John Tanner takes it in his stride. As you take...

I can’t count how many hours I played the original Driver for PS1. It had fantastic gameplay along with some of the most frustration I’ve ever had playing a game. It had a relentless difficulty and most people didn’t even get past the introductory...

Driver reinvents itself after a serious out-of-body experience.

Astral projection mechanic; fun city to explore; well-handling cars; kitschy motif

Boxed-in streets

The jump to the supernatural realm may seem puzzling at first, but it makes for an exciting new way to play. Couple that with some wonderful multiplayer offerings and you have one of the most pleasant surprises of the year.

Driver: San Francisco - Xbox 360 review at Thunderbolt Games

 

After the abysmal and controversial Driver 3, Ubisoft Reflections' high-speed Driver series took a drastic fall from the gaming limelight. Its stylish world of brutish muscle cars, Bullitt inspired car chases and emphasis on unadulterated 70s style...

Driver: San Francisco Review

 

You know what we hate? When a good franchise goes bad. At one point, Driver was the go-to series for exciting stunt racing fun, parallel with the kind of vibe that the old-school movie Bullitt made. But then Reflections, the game's developer, tinkered...

The cars featured in Driver: San Francisco are great. Not only are they licensed, but Reflections has managed to give them their own proper handling. So a typical street car won’t perform as up to speed as, say, a sporty Mustang, nor will it corner as...

The post-GTA III sandbox game revolution left the Driver series in tatters. While the first two entries were heralded for their ambition and pushing of the PSOne's tech and pioneers of 3D sandbox games, its third entry failed to satisfy fans and wound...

All in All, Driver: San Francisco is a successful rebirth for the series. It does all the things right that past games did, and corrected the worst parts of the past two games by simply eliminating. Less is more for this series, and the refocused...

Driver: San Francisco review [360/PS3/PC]

 

It's no secret that the Driver name lost nearly all of its credibility back in the early '00s. Try as the team might to restore their reputation, what the series really needed was a good long break, and enough time to make Driver: San Francisco a...

The Driver series has certainly seen its ups and downs over the years. The premise has always been a good one, and outside of the harsh difficulty of the games, most of them are considered classics.

Shifting is awesome ; Plenty to see and do ; Great presentation

Difficulty brick walls ; Feels over too soon

The Driver series has certainly seen its ups and downs over the years. The premise has always been a good one, and outside of the harsh difficulty of the games, most of them are considered classics. Fast forward to today and Ubisoft is hoping to bring...

Review: Driver San Francisco is the Fresh Take the Series Needed All Along

 

Despite its bizarre premise, this mind-jumping installment finally fulfills Driver's promise from years ago.

After waiting patiently to proclaim it for 12 years now, I can finally admit to finishing the last mission of Driver on the original PlayStation. Titled "The President's Run," this frustratingly difficult finale was far from the quality standard of fun...
