This is the very first driver game to come out. It is a very fun game at the begining because u can do anything that u want to. from Amazon.com The original Driver still has fun to be derived from it, but it doesn't have as much class or finesse as its sequel. The graphics look terrible and the city feels lifeless most of the time. from Amazon.com This if my favorite installment in the Driver series. When i first put this game in the PSX and found out that the circle button was a special burnout button i was like "oh yea, this is the best game ever!". from Amazon.com This game, along with other PSX classics like Ridge Racer 4 and Tekken 3, probably soaked up to half my free time in my freshman year in college. This is a classic game and deserves all the recognition it gets. There aren't many other games where you can drive thru regular traffic and T-bone a cop car just for sh**'s & giggles. Plus, the music is funky and true to the era the game takes place in, and so are the movie cuts and the cars...speaking of that, anybody whining about the poor handling of the cars apparently doesn't understand physics : Hello people! from Amazon.com To start things off, go for Driver 2, but if you want to play the first one, here are some Pros and Cons. Gameplay is fun and there are plenty of missions. from Amazon.com Driver is one of the best games ever made. If you don't own this buy it!. from Amazon.com This popular title has a lot going for it - good graphics, excellent maneuvering and physics, and style to boot.

However, the difficulty is much too high for even heardcore gamers. There seems to be something truly amiss with the makers of the game - despite the negative comments regarding gameplay, the game's sequel, Driver 2 (PSX) is actually harder than the original.

In order to make the game playable, you either have to apply a patch released by Infrogrames or play in cheat mode.

from Amazon.com I got this game because I wanted a good street-arcade racer where you could just drive around smashing into things. I got what I wanted. Driver includes four real US cities (relatively accurate in street layouts) complete with traffic and police who generally want to smash you up because you've broken the law. The traffic is fairly realistic, going so far as to have their own accidents occasionally and honking at you for reckless driving or nearly broadsiding them.

The free play option, as I like to call it, as opposed to the actual storyline is a much better use of the game.

from Amazon.com Driver" is the realization of any driving fanatic's dream, which is to get behind the wheel of a flashy car and speed through a crowded city on a joyride, avoiding cops and other pitfalls. Even without going through the story mode, you can have fun exploring the well-detailed cities, and perhaps ramming a few cars off the road in the process. from Amazon.com IF you have never played Driver then get it. Basically Driver is Grand Theft Auto except you are stuck with the car you start with. from Amazon.com
