DRIV3R - Full Game Walkthrough (4K)

[@Willzyyy]

I've always been a fan of DRIV3R despite it's flaws...and the driving has aged wonderfully! The on-foot sections still feel strange as Tanner is awkward to control and there's annoying pop-in even on PC's max settings. Despite that the game is still a good time when speeding down the streets of the three impressively designed cities. The soundtrack, driving physics, cinematic cutscenes and overall story still deserve praise to this day!

[@1985toyotacamry]

I can agree I know Driver 2 is my number one despite the pain in the butt in some missions. But DRIV3R is number two and I have the PS2 version mainly because it has my hometown (Miami) but I love the fact imo that they put so much detail that even I am still learning about it even the glitchy things I find it hilarious.

[@taylorrichardson5523]

Love the driving in the game. Just like a classic car film

[@GranTruismo4head]

The soundtrack is why I come back to this game from time to time… shame about what happened to the series. :/

[@petrifiedtoaster8572]

The soundtracks amazing too.

[@ackimaze2805]

Despite the negative reception from critics, this game still has a very special place within my heart.

[@TheIrland09]

I'll never understand why this game got bad reviews. Is it just because it was looked at as a GTA clone?

[@deathclxck]

​@@TheIrland09 Yeah. It is a generation of gaming that cannot support a good copy of the grand theft auto games or if the game does not seem anything like the gta saga.

[@ezio-earle3973]

Well every game that TRIES to BE a clone of gta has more fun than the acutal gta(Except Gta 4)​@@deathclxck

[@maxg.9132]

This was my first GTA-like game. I didn’t know how to complete missions properly, but how much I loved just driving around the city and discovering secret places while free-riding.

[@portugalmath]

GTA is a Driver-like game haha

[@portugalmath]

@@Baba-ll2qv So we can agree that Driver 2 was the first "GTA like" game in 3D, third person GTA always was

[@Take-A-Ride]

These graphics were phenomenal for being a 2004 game. Especially the vehicle models. The cars actually looked as if they were made of metal. The damage was realistic and the driving was superb. Unfortunately the robotic on-foot controls, weird weapon aiming, and empty, lifeless environments ruined what could have been an amazing game.

[@OleR.]

Basically the game called driver, so Tanner needs to better in driving no? 🤷‍♂️ That's why he is cannot run and shoot well, possibly lumbago 😂

[@TekkenOnlineFights]

The aiming was shit man I died a lot but man this environment and the sunset was BEAUTIFUL. I got that game on holidays for summer in 2004 always will remember that cuz this was the only game my mother bought me where you could shoot.

[@Hardcoredawg420]

Excpecally playing the original Xbox version

[@TheIrland09]

GTA 3 described Tanner as being "useless out of his car." I guess they were right considering the on-foot gameplay in this game 😂

[@synthnation9857]

I don't know why but I always love how charming the 2000's cgi cutscene is, especially this and Parallel Lines.

[@Willzyyy]

The cutscenes in this and Parallel Lines were so impressive! Got to give them credit for the stylish directing and editing.

This game was ahead of it's time. One of my favorites as a kid.

It was a good game, but i would not describe it as ahead of it's time, GTA SA would release only a few months after.

"Ahead of its time"- bold statement considering what a buggy and unfinished mess this game was. The car physics and the atmosphere were good tho

[@theofficialgreenkane9645]

Back in 2005, me and my friend used to play this game for HOURS! We didn’t have GTA (Parents refused to buy it) however DRIV3R & Scarface: World Is Yours were the best GTA replacements.

[@dannyperdomo391]

DRIV3R got the best cast: Michael Madsen/Mr. Blonde as John Tanner, Ving Rhames/Marsellus Wallace as Tobias Jones, Michelle Rodriguez/Letty Ortiz as Calita Martinez, Mickey Rourke as Charles Jericho, and Iggy Pop of The Stooges as Baccus. Ironically, two actors from Quentin Tarantino's separate movies star together in a video game.

[@Willzyyy]

The cast really is fantastic! Such a shame the game was rushed out too soon. Could have really been something special.

My favorites GTA-like PS2 games are Driv3r and True Crime

[@CariocaCaravaggio]

True crime streets of La, what a game!

[@TigerChamp99]

This game needed more development time and Reflections should have avoided competition with GTASA.

[@JokerPlayer1997]

It's Atari's fault. They did the exact same thing with the Alone in the Dark series, that was ruined because of Atari's need to release the games quickly. When Driver was acquired by Ubisoft, they managed to Driver SF without hurry and released the game they actually wanted to release.

[@MikeDavila92]

Totalmente de acuerdo!! Pienso que si lo hubieran hecho así, y aún se hubieran tardardo más tiempo de lo normal, DRIV3R hubiera sido una joya mas de los videojuegos de conducción y de la saga Driver. eso sin duda le hubiera dado aún más respeto y más fans, pero tristemente se dejaron llevar por la competencia y la ambición de generar más dinero a costa de la publicidad. eso sin duda causó desorientación y falta de enfoque de lo que Driver siempre ha sido, simplemente un juego de persecución y buenos autos clásicos, eso es lo que lo hizo destacar en las joyitas Driver y Driver2!!

[@royalwrestling5568]

This game was always overshadowed by Vice City and San Andreas. Still a great game! It just couldn't compete with the high caliber titles Rockstar was putting out at the time and open world freedom of GTA.

[@hamadhumaid1984]

There's a lot of great actors in this game: Michael Madsen Michelle Rodriguez Ving Rhames Mickey Rourke Iggy Pop I remember the first game of Driver I thought that Tanner is just a getaway driver, never knew that he's a former race car driver and current Miami police officer that goes to show you that the undercover assignments are the most dangerous

[@mikeivoyloff1656]

[@peterszebeni8582]

What I really miss about the classic driver games is that they weren't just US locations. Rio, Havana, Nice, Istanbul! What would it have been like if they had gone in that direction instead of New York and San Francisco? Would it have been Moscow, Budapest (I'd get a kick out of that as a Pest resident), Tokyo, Mexico City, Munich, Prague Driver? The GTA games have no chance of ever leaving the US, and sadly we'll never know what it would have been like to visit these cities with Tanner.

Coming back to this video after listening to the soundtrack for some nostalgia. So cool. I always loved the Rooftops mission. It felt like it was a slinky, undercover cop mission. I loved the fact you went into the hotel and could find that extra rooms with the enemies. I'm sure the other hotel goers weren't too thrilled about the gunshots though ;) love the environment in this game. They nailed the city feeling in all 3 maps imo.
