Driver - Playstation

The PC version is out in September but I couldn't wait. I've only now been able to pull myself away from Driver on the playstation after many hours. Excellent physics - exagerrated for fun bullit style cop evasion. Excellent r&r from GPL!! GaryTurner

Driver isn't due out for another week or two, how did you manage to get your copy? With all the bullsh*t on these boards, I just can't believe it until it is in my PSX. Ryan

I've seen it in 3 or 4 shops here in the UK. Where in the world are you, Ryan? It's a big place :)

It's definitely out in the u.k. Played it in a shop on friday. Nice game.

Release last Friday - 29.99 in Game. Buy it.

Damn, I think it is due out July 9th, here in Pennsylvania, USA. You lucky fellas....hehe, I might hold out for the Computer version just so I can use my steering wheel and pedals. The game does look promising though, as I just bought Midtown Madness. That is fun, and if anything, I hope Driver will be better. Finally I can get to use my directorial skills at a cool game... :) If you ever feel like telling me about it or something, just give me a hollar at my email, should be in the message somewhere.

Is the street layout based on any city as such?? Ity would be cool to get an add on of your own home town like MS Flight Sim, midtown madness I've seen is modeled on Chigago.......(I think)

There are 4 cities, which according to something I read are based upon accurate maps, the buildings etc. are 100% accurate but certain landmarks are. San Fran Cisco, LA, New York and Miami. SFC is very good favourite with lots of hills a la Bullit, trams and back alleys with trash and boxes to drive through especially in Chinatown where the scenery is quite good. The handling is very cop-movie-chase like with lots of oversteering but very well done - you get into it quite easily and enjoy taunting cop cars into a chase. Once excellent feature is the ability to make movie replays of your chase, either using the auto-director feature which randomly selects camera positions or you can do it yourself positioning a variety of cameras for each shot with quite impressive results. One of my best was screeching to a halt at traffic lights, cutting to several shots of my stationary car, cut to an approaching cop-car and then a long shot as I burn away tyres squealing and belching smoke as the cops take the bait and chase - you end up watching the replays over and over like your own personal version of bullit and exchanging them with friends. Highly entertaining fun. GT > Is the street layout based on any city as such?? Ity would be cool to get an > add on of your own home town like MS Flight Sim, midtown madness I've seen is
