I thought the upcoming game 'Mafia: The city of lost heaven' would be
mostly an fps game, but after reading the preview it seems to be more
of a 'Driver' clone:
Mafia's driving engine is more realistic than you might think. Each of
the 60 different vehicles in the game behaves like its real-life
counterpart, and they can all receive varying types of damage that can
prevent them from running - like flat tires caused by bullet holes.
There are specific missions where your driving skills are really put
to the test. In one mission, you'll essentially be the driver for the
getaway car, but other gangsters will shoot at you from their vehicle
as you try to drive your compatriots to safety. Some missions even
involve racing on an actual track - that happens to be owned by one of
the crime bosses - in a vintage F1-style car.
