Id go on the record as saying this may very well be one of the BIGGEST dissapointments in video game history. All the hype..all the time spent in development, and the game looks soo very very rushed. Its FULL of glitchy animations and the on foot missions are downright TERRIBLE

This is clearly another case of developers thinking that the name alone coupled with some big name voice actors and a good marketing campaign will push a good qauntity in sales. And it bothers the shit outta me.

But as to not sound too negative..that classic driver goodness is still there. Just running from the cops and making movies is satisfying enough to make this game a descent rent....maybe.

And as for saying its an entirely different entity . I tend to disagree. I mean...im not going to dog it and say its trying to jock off of gta...because..this was the natural evolution of the Driver series. It would probably be the same game with or without the existence of GTA. But still..its not an ENTIRELY different entity..there are some GLARINGLY OBVIOUS SIMILARITIES in terms of gameplay

Overall I couldnt see ranking this game anything higher than a 7.0 out of ten. Soo much potential only to fall SOOO short...its a shame IMHO.

And just to comment on Billyums lil situation. I dont think it was your having a negative opinion of the game that bothered everyone so much as your lack of respect for a fellow member. Especially one as highly regaurded as my man red. Were all free to express our opinions as long as its done respectfully. Going around calling ppl fan boys isnt exactly. "welcomed" behavior. Anyway..thats just my two cents..live and learn
