As you might have guessed, I cannot belieeeeve they gave it a score as low as 5.4. That is their business, though, even if they are grossly misinforming the videogaming public.
I was very stoked earlier by the game so that's why I had to give it a shout out in my earlier post from the other day. Now I will be more informative. Driver 3 is a huge project for any developer. It consists of 3 cities, each bigger in size it seems than Vice City. I won't go into a lot of detail, but there are a LOT of different vehicles... like 70, each with their own feel. Add that to the fact Reflections decided to add to the on foot aspect of the game this time around so it wasn't just the actual driving you focus on in all of the missions and when you use the free roam mode, and you have a lot of things that need to be taken care of to make this a good game. Because of that reason, this game was inevitably going to be compared to the GTA series by a lot of reviewers. They have the right to do this and a good reason, but I also feel it is wrong to do so. Driver 3's strongest point is the actual Driving. This game's intention is to give you the feel of all those car chase movies from that era and I feel it does a remarkable job at it. I won't say much more, except that Driver 3 is its own entity and comparisons to GTA are wrong because it is a different kind of fun that the Driver series offers and I feel that if its impossible to not enjoy it for what it is (which I feel actually has more replay value in this sense than GTA,) then I feel that people should be allowed to enjoy it without having to listen to impatient reviewers who want to compare everything to GTA 3 and Vice City. This is a completely different entity. It has the right to be called so because the series started before GTA 3 and it remains true to the Driver spirit. THE DRIVING! SCrew the arrogant reviewers at ign and gamespot on this one. Enough said.
