He's the most ruthless crime lord to ever prowl the streets of the City by the Bay. His name is Charles Jericho, and he certainly did not bring his heart to San Francisco. Now the fate of the sunny city rests in the hands of one man: a detective, a hero, a Driver. John Tanner has put hundreds of criminals behind bars and chased injustice out of many a city, but this mission poses a threat like no other — and could be his last. Step into the driver's seat as the hardened detective and get ready for a relentless manhunt that could end either with the restoration of justice or the setting of the sun on the Golden Gate Bridge forever.

This review is from: Driver San Francisco (Video Game)
Driver: San Francisco is not just "yet another" Driver title to tack onto the legacy of the first two games. The developers said that they wanted to go back to the drawing board and figure out what made Driver 1 so good and why Driv3r and Driver: Parallel lines was so bad. They figured it out.

I don't have to really talk about the good and bad because there's just not much bad to the game at all. But let's break it down:

Ghostly "Shift" mode
--------------------
The biggest change of the game is the ability to alter your mental perception from one driver in a car to another driver in another car. I thought that I'd hate this shifting experience, but it really works and adds something new to the game.

When you're in a tough chase or see a car that has the right speed or maneuverability, you can simply jam the A button and pick another car to drive.

Although I still like the original Driver better because you had to haul and make...Read more

This game is so much fun and pulse pounding that it makes me sweat everytime I get into the action. Let's just say I haven't experienced this type of a rush in racing games since Burnout Revenge circa '06. So it's been a long time for me, I typically avoid racing games. This game absolutely lives up to its hype. I love everything about it. The story is awesome, however it seems like it gets off track just a little bit with the quirky side missions. Don't get me wrong they are fun but I cannot seem to tie them into the main story...anyway, that doesn't take away from any fun the game has to offer. I put about 3 hours into this game thus far and I'm in Chapter 2 right now. So far I am really enjoying myself. NOTE if you are a hardcore racer, then you may think this game is kinda corny. I played NFS Hot Pursuit and I had fun, but this game seems to be more of my speed. I like Driver San Francisco because it's Story Mode is cool, I think Driving/Racing games are cool as long as they have...Read more

I'll admit right at the top, I have been a fan of the Driver series since the first one. After the disappointing Driv3r, I abandoned the series. I've been wanting a Driver game for awhile now that got that feeling of the original back. This game does it.

Gameplay:

- I played the demo and was a little concerned about the controls. Once I played the actual game, the concerns disappeared. The cars all handle differently, some better than others. Some of the initial cars were pretty stiff in the handling department, but once I got into a Lamborghini, the handling was superb. Flying through the streets of San Francisco felt awesome, especially at 200+ m.p.h.
- This game is pretty laid-back. You can take it at about any pace. Don't feel like doing story missions? Just drive around the city, play the dares, finish challenges, etc. You can play this game at your own pace.
- The "Shift" mechanic is actually pretty cool. It is worked well into the story too. Some...Read more
