That was easy. Knocking down pedestrians. Even harder.

Couldn’t believe the intro.

I loved the driver movie as a kid.

If you can dodge a wrench, you dodge the pillars while slaloming.

What a memory this unlocked!! The physics of this game made you feel like you were 100% driving a real car. I almost want to play it again now, but honestly I bet that not being able to actually drive as a kid was half of what made it so mesmerizing.

Now it might just be like driving to work :(

It really did have an incredible driving model

I love my emulators and I have to say that whilst the game has obviously aged, there’s still something a little satisfying about throwing the car around in these games.

That said, the map - which looks like it was designed on graph paper - leaves a bit to be desired nowadays. It does get a little boring.

Driv3r really should have been the pinnacle of the series, but it just stands as a testament to why you should never rush your game out. San Andreas was quite possibly the most hotly anticipated game of all time; they were never going to beat that.

MrScottyTay ,

Driver San Francisco is the pinnacle in my opinion

I dont really remember much about the first game besides the mission in the post, but i do remember driver 2 being really difficult game.

That one mission where you have to hijack the truck or something like that, and the car that is pursuing you will just kill you 5seconds into the mission if you slowed down for a turn lol

After 50 resets of the mission i just desided that i will not even try to follow the truck if it takes 2/3 possible paths, just reset and hope for easy route and then T-bone the truck hoping to complete the mission in the first 10seconds.

Or the mission that asks you to take out like 3 cars across the map, with a really strict timelimit, and sometimes the car you hit takes 50% damage per hit, sometimes 5%.

I was definitely going insane at some point in the playthrough.

Also ReDriver 2 PC port of driver 2 exists and is fully playable.

I honestly had to use a Gameshark code to get past it.

Rhynoplaz ,

Was there more to the game than this?

HotWheelsVroom OP ,

Yes.

I cut my teeth on Interstate 76.

Aurenkin ,

Oh man this was rough. Virgin GTA player vs chad Driver player.

stringere ,

Driver (1-3) taught me skid and spin recovery so well that it allowed me to recover through a full 360 on an off ramp without incident…other than my heart beating out of my ears.

My gta5 high speed driving through traffic saved me from having a head on collision, there’s a spot on the highway where 2 overtaking lanes pass each other, I was over taking on my side, then a car was overtaking a car that was over taking a car and was half on my side, I went full Franklin, slowed time and passed between them like a glove.

Yokozuna ,

Username checks out.

But in all seriousness, I’m glad you and everyone else invovled didn’t get hurt there. I’m sure your heart was beating in your ears, was it not? Lol

Weirdly I was quite calm about it, just zoned in on a spot down the road and let it happen.

Million ,

Ah yes, I have had that happen before. See that gap between two cars and squeeze through to avoid collision, but somehow manage to hit both of the cars and your car is in someones backyard pool. While the cars you “squeezed through” blast their horn for some reason… (in gta)

I swear they made the cars magnetically connected to backyard pools, I lost countless cars to peoples pools.
