After a hiatus, Ubisoft and Reflections has come to rejuvenate the franchise. The only thing I spent the most time on was the Film Director mode, and being able to upload your videos so other players can download and watch them (the driving mechanics were still great at least).īut enough reminiscing.
Driver was never really about on foot action (even in Driver 2, all you could do was just get out and commandeer another car), and the additions of weapons in 3 cheapened the experience for me (though blowing stuff up with the grenade launcher was always fun). In my opinion, Driver 3 was straying away too far from what made the series great.
Parallel Lines I never bought, but I did play through it and thought it was pretty interesting (I’ve never tried ’76, though). In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I went and bought Driver 2 around the time that came out, and proceeded to get Driver 3 on its release. As much as I liked other racing games as a kid before the release of the original (Gran Turismo, the original Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, etc), Driver, despite its simplicity, was the most fun I had. If there was ever only one game that got me really interested in racing and driving (and cars in general), it was Driver.
