Mission-based driving games were introduced by the Grand Theft Auto series, and also set the benchmark to beat. Driver: San Francisco isn't directly comparable with GTA - it's more of a mash-up of GTA, Need for Speed and The Matrix. We don't mean The M...

Review date: 02 October, 2011. Review by: IT Reviews Staff Missing, presumed dead. That's a fair summation of where the Driver franchise found itself. Having once been one of the biggest series in videogames, a very poor sequel - Driver 3 - drove the...
So much fun, and at times extremely creative...
Well, the story. It's necessary, yet awful.
A hit out of nowhere. A fun, manic, bold arcade driving game, that takes a few risks, which pay off handsomely...

Driver San Francisco is no ordinary car based game though, yes it still has its roots in the same gameplay mechanic as the other titles in the range but this version adds a unique twist which could make or break it. Today we take a look at the latest v...

Whoever said silly couldn't be smart? It would have been tough to predict that one of 2011's more inspired video games would be a cross between Quantum Leap and the Dukes of Hazzard , where the main premise was a man that could supernaturally inhabit t...

There's a lot to be said for offering something new. While Driver San Francisco might look like just another entry in the long-running open-city driving series, in which you nip about in a variety of cars, evade cops and generally cause all-manner of v...

I don't normally play non-kart racers. They're frustrating exercises in a type of precision I don't possess. I don't play destruction derby games, or anything in the Twisted Metal series, and my relationship with Interstate '76 was less than friendly...

As a game with possibly the most ridiculous and difficult-to-explain premise of any driving game in history, Driver: San Francisco has a lot to prove. It's difficult to see how a racer in which you can zoom out of your own body and temporarily inhabit...
Driver: San Francisco has one game-changing, eyebrow-raising idea and it pulls it off with aplomb, infusing the OTT arcade racing with unparalleled variety and a ridiculous supernatural twist whilst staying true to its Seventies chase-movie roots. It l...

The return of Driver will divide many, and not because the quality of the series swings back and forth with pendulum like regularity. The journey through San Francisco serves up it's own marmite formula, and for the most part, it's hugely difficult to dec...
Underneath Driver's pitfalls, there is fun to be had. This game doesn't manage to eradicate the misfortunes of the past, nor does it build on them. Ubisoft have tried their utmost to get this once revered body back into shape, but there's plenty of bruise...
