We may have multiple downloads for few games when different versions are available. Also, we try to upload manuals and extra documentation when possible. It is worth playing as it is part of gaming history and I bet many people who did not experience this when it first came out will be amazed that they felt they could release a game like this!

Math has never my forte, but even I can recognize the brand new formula that's been popping all over the videogame industry:. Really, who knew? However, just because it's a veritable cash cow doesn't necessarily mean that a good game will always result.

It might be kinda obvious given the name, but Driv3r has a strong emphasis on driving rather than on-foot action. That's a plus however, since most of the on-foot action is rather weak. Simply put, it's just not compelling or fun. There's no depth to it, no strategy behind it, and it feels like you're just going through the motions. Likewise, the missions have mundane objectives that are riddled with bugs and inconsistencies.

Enemy AI is flat out bad, too. Often, enemies will just stand in the same spot when you're firing at them and will never openly pursue you when you leave a room. It effectively makes them mindless target practice that fires back. On the other hand, the driving portions fare a bit better. A lot of the missions revolve around somewhat elaborate car chases, which can be a good deal of fun. Granted, it's nothing new as there are few changes in the mechanics from even the original Driver.

Still, it's the hard to deny the blood pumping thrills that race through you when there are several cops on your tail and you're going full throttle down a traffic-congested road. Unfortunately, there's very little room for error in the driving missions. A lot of the times, it felt like I completed missions due to luck since the mission constraints are extremely strict, ensuring that I often found myself in a loading screen.

It can make the Undercover mode, the meat and bones of Driv3r , an incredibly frustrating experience. However, the thing that made games in the vein of Grand Theft Auto so fun to begin with can't be found in Driv3r : an enjoyable city to run around in.

Simply put, the cities just seem dead. There are few things to interact with that make each city seem alive, and there are even fewer points of interest to keep your attention while you're driving around. Unfortunately, the unpolished graphics don't help make the city anymore interesting either. There's a good deal of pop-up and the textures lack detail, making for a bland and forgettable cityscape. The actual cars, however, do look nice even when they're banged up beyond repair.

That's countered, of course, by the framerate hitches that often occur and kill any hopes for fluidity. Police AI vehicles were criticized for the use of "doublespeed", a way of cheating in which a pursuing cop would suddenly double its speed making it hard if not impossible for the player to escape.

The AI can easily stem from the series' long use of rubberband AI. No matter what vehicles players can pick either fast or slow or even a police car , the police AI seems to always catch up and stay with the player. There are some ways to escape the police, such as forcing them on to a sidewalk and crashing into a post, trees, or even vehicles. Although a number of forums maintained that the magazines had come to a deal regarding publicity with Atari , no proof either way was ever cited and the scandal eventually simply died down.
