I loved the feature that allowed you to drive casually around cities as a tourist. You couldn't do that in other games back then. I spent more time there I think than the storyline.
Just a reminder that if you're a fan of the GTA reviews on this channel, I've started a gameplay commentary series with Grand Theft Auto IV, a let's play that's basically an extended review of the game at heart with a few funny moments. Part 5 will be out soon...
Its badass, do a saints row gameplay too! Bet you guna enjoy it more as entertainment. Anyways, just my advice, id personally enjoy longer vid reviews, or the gta 4 gameplay be maybe a bit longer, 30-40min? Just a thought. Anyways keep it up! One of my top youtubers
I remember playing this as a kid and I barely got any missions done but I just loved roaming around, exploring and trying different vehicles...there was something about this realistic style on the ps1 that's almost dream-like...big pixelated plazas, bright white in the fake sunlight...those kinda images are still burned deep into my brain
This game has a lot of technical issues ... but it's absolutely brilliant all the same. The maps were no joke! Havana & Vegas are still some of the most atmospheric, memorable levels I've played and have some damn addictive missions.
People had vastly different experiences with Driv3r. Some people played through it with no issues and others were bombarded with bugs. I was one of the lucky ones that didn't have any issues. It wasn't a good game but I enjoyed the time I spent playing it.
Clayton Luce I played it on the ps2 not too long ago... The driving is fantastic, but i couldn‘t bring myself to play through it because of the on-foot controls! They are just a pain in the ass!
i played that one a lot. luring cops and other cars onto drawbridges, then opening the bridges to see them fall into the water without gaining any wanted level was the most entertaining thing i did in any driver game.
@@samz8691 Too sensitive? I found Driv3r to have the opposite problem and I maxed out the aiming sensitivity. I love Driv3r. Yes it is a broken, glitch filled mess, but it is a broken, glitch filled mess with a replay editor! I remember a few years ago describing it to people as Goat Simulator but you can drive cars.
Ah the memories I have of this game. I remember not being able to play the Undercover mode when I was a kid and just played take a ride, driving around and finding the special car in Chicago and Havana. Then when I was a little older I managed to beat the Undercover mode and find the special cars in Rio and Las Vegas. Don't ask me to replay the Undercover mode again anytime soon though 😂
@@IndiBrony Yeah the area where you find the Mini is so damn cool. Always parked the car I used to get there on the edge of the platform so it gets smashed between it and the ground above. Might damage the mini but worth it to see the physics freak out 😂
My story went the same... But I never made it even trough Chicago. Untill one day I remembered, I got a demo cd from a magazine containing 100% save file of Driver 2. Only after that (years after release of the game) I could play Las Vegas and Rio. Good times.
Midnight Club Still Cancelled Soz frrr!!! The best thing about the driver games is you feel like a driver. Every move you feel off feels professional and calculated
@@scottthewaterwarrior yeah it gives more control. 4 feels real cause your actions have impact. You have to put more peddle to the metal or brake accordingly
@@sergiomendoza5165 I had forgot about the truck one until he played the intro clip and it a came flooding back. I remember having to attempt it 50 times at least lol
The thing I miss the most about Driver and I think Driver 2, was the police coming after you if you ran a red light, speeding, or even skidding a little while maneuvering.
Yeah they were real sticklers in Driver 1, where you cross as line on the road and they ram you into submission. I remember being sad they kind of altered that in Driv3r.
I found some tricks for the chase missions in Driver 2. There are two different types of chase missions: Type 1 is the most common and has the AI follow a preset path and essentially have unlimited mass. But the damage is based on contact, rather than force, so if you pull along side and just lightly rub against the other vehicle, the damage meter will go up. Type 2 has the other vehicle take more damage the harder you hit them and they will get pushed around based on the angle you hit them. Both types use sort of a reverse rubber banding, where your car slows down the closer you get to the other vehicle. This means that in missions such as the bomb truck in Havana, if you drive on the opposite side of the road from the vehicle you are chasing, you will go faster and can gain distance on them.
@@isaacster5027 The bomb truck uses contact based damage. Drive on the opposite side of the road from the truck till you are about even with it, then turn towards it and carefully bump the side of the truck. Just keep your car against the side of the truck for 5-10 seconds and you stop it! Just make sure you don't hit the side of the truck too hard, or you will bounce off rather violently.
@@TheWayoftheSith - Big 3D maps, driving-focused missions, interesting plots... The only thing Driver took from GTA was the stupidly-hard police chases
@@scottthewaterwarrior And it's a broken glitchy mess with a hell ton of good times i had with this game. One can say Driver 3 is a bad game. I would not disagree with it. But for me Driv3r is my favourite along with Driver SF just because of the incredible attention to detail Driver 3 had. The vehicles suspension were altered to their original country, the cities were so damn well made, you can detect every single landmark you see, hell even the car horns were different for every car you drove. And i have a book about Driver 3 itself, it's Undercover mode (which is hard but hella fun), and even it's making-of and the general history of Reflection, telling you so many little secrets about the game and the studio.It really is a ton of information.
This is one of those games that even though it may seem crap from a technical pov specially today, it still is one of your top 5 games of all times if you played it growing up. It was brilliant.
Last time I played this, I was stuck years ago on a mission in Havanna where you had to take out, I believe, four cars in a certain time limit! But, either way, this game still has one of my favourite lines from a video game, for some reason: "I'm Solomon Kane, you'll wish you never met me!" In fact when I hear dialogue hinting regret at meeting someone, I still hear that line in my head and I haven't played Driver 2 since before the 360 existed! Yeah, that long!
I actually subscribed to your channel a couple of years ago because I liked your Driver review and you were one of the only reviewers giving this old school franchise some love. So keep up the great work man! Care to review 1NSANE? It’s an awesome PC game from that golden PC era.
I love your channel bro keep up the good work it was like you was born to review games and review the games I grow up I am gonna go on your patron absolute great content
I remember playing this game a lot when I was a kid. Hearing the police sirens at 9:16 literally sent shivers down my spine... There is something menacing about that sound.
Sounds about right. The winds of time have not been kind on this game. I remember at the time when I had a PS1 and had this game, I thought it was really cool and graphically nice compared to some other titles, but I found this game so freaking hard that as a kid I just drove around in free-roam and swapped cars. I thought being able to get out was such an awesome mechanic that was lacking in many other games. But yeah, the police are brutal and some of the missions are so stupidly hard that I don't know if they didn't play-test or just didn't care. Nonetheless, the cutscenes and story were enough to keep me coming back to find out more.
I could never understand why folk made such a hardship out of the car park intro of the original Driver...I am no game guru but once learned its never forgot...I would put money that if I had this game today I would still be able to do it (after a few refresher runs)...It wasnt that difficult!
Amazing video as Always im still waiting for a mafia 2 review now that there's a définitive edition too. Good Luck for all of this work and keep the good stuff
Dude i Dont get it that you're not a huge channel. your content is amazing and deserves alot more attention. great job man i really like your content! thankyou for all the uploads!
I really enjoy your videos. I think you make good analysis and your presentation feels like a combination of a retrospective and one of those nostalgic early 2000's video game shows like X-Play. Really good stuff. Keep up the good work, buddy.
Would love to see a review of the Test Drive series. I grew up playing TD4 on pc, and while realizing now how bad they were, still brings back tons of nostalgia. Twisted Metal Black or TM2 would be another great choice, even if they’ve been done on other channels, would still be interested in your opinions.
Man, back when it came out me and my brothers went crazy when we realized we can get out of the car in Driver 2. You just don’t get that type of excitement from modern games. Which I understand of course considering that gaming has sort of plateaued over that last decade.
12:45 THAT. TORTURE. OF A MISSION. I remember it like it was yesterday. Car already having felony and damaged from the start, time limit, police won't give up even when you're getting close to arrival point. Once I was on the edge of throwing the controller out of the window when I was few seconds from time up, managed to wreck last chasing police car with a few pixels left of health. I turn around, try to reach the arrow but OH NO there's a civilian car approaching! I stop to try going around, but it starts honking. But not with any intention to really stop, oh no. Honk honk! And casually touches me at walk speed. "You wrecked the car." Right next to the arrow. I believe 10 years old me of that time begun to cry out of frustration that time.
Still waiting for the Driver: San Francisco review, that game was hard yet enjoyable, cars felt slippery at times depending on which place you were in (i.e dirt, normal street roads) and variety of cars to choose from and dares and challenges were hard as hell, and there was the Movie Challenges which were taken from the movie like Bullitt. It's story mode was quite fun with the part where Jericho takes control of Tanner's dreams and the Shift ability also added more playability to the game.
@@shnubdawg7730 it's like the devs thought that crashing was the only thing in Burnout but there were other elements like stunt events, marked man and many more and the sense of speed felt amazing
This game is my childhood but you're right, even my dad who used to be better than me on car games had really hard time finishing the campaign. Still, being able to get out the car to walk in the streets and steal cars in a 3d game was a living dream for the kid I was. And I think it's thanks to this game that my interest for funk and jazz music grew.
An absolute classic and iconic videogame, no matter what they said, it´s still recommended playing it to this day. The only issue, it´s if you are a sh*tty player
I would like a review of Interstate '82, it is a game published in 1999 and the player is a "vigilante" in an alternative 1982, the game features more than 30 cars and a lot of weapons to put on them, the player has the ability to exit from a car and enter into another one, and there are more than 15 missions in a lot of different maps. The fact that the player can take any car he finds on the road and put an enormous number of weapon on them means that every time you start the story mode you can complete it in a different way, i.e. every time with a different car and a different weapon setup, thus changing the game experience every time you play it. I don't understand why Interstate '82 is so unknown despite having an enormous number of features compared to Driver games.
At least the sound didn't glitch out and looped the police sirens :P And as a kid, I hate those truck missions in Havana. Dear lord, I don't know how much time I've spend with those and I guess that today, I wouldn't have the endurance to try them that often. All in all, I think you did a fair review of the game, with all the pros and cons it has.
Idk if it was specific copy’s but my copy has a glitch where in free roam you can somehow trigger cars to fall under the map and destroy them. I use to trap the police cars with it. Also the bridge that raised up was fun to jump, was blown away when I found out you could get out of your car.
Someone made an unofficial PC port of this game called "ReDriver 2." It still requires the original ISO of the game but the cool thing is that the game is NOT emulated. The installation involves extracting the contents of the ISO using a utility from the GitHub (where you also download ReDriver 2) and then the executable will use the assets from the ISO file to play the game. No more frame drops!
I remember having it as a kid - with nothing to compare it to, the fact that we had so many cities that you could get out of the car and explore was absolutely mind-blowing. With the power of hindsight, it's a wonder how the series lasted so long, as its nearly unplayable today, whilst other PS1 racers such as Colin McRae Rally and Toca 2 Touring cars are still fun. Still, if it wasn't for these early Games, we wouldn't have got the masterpiece known as Driver San Francisco - which is really hard to get hold of these days, and Ubi seem to not have much interest in making a new Driver game.
there was a bug in chicago after jumping through a bridge, cars sometimes could fall through the road as a kid i played havana only, never did any mission never touched the second cd, this game made me love the aesthetic and mood of havana and the cars
Oh man.. The days of booting this up to play Take A Ride for hours, the joy of finding a new alley or a car is irreplaceable. The soundtrack was the icing on cake, I still remember the music without playing it. I was too young to play the story, games back then was difficult so I wait til my dad unlock Las Vegas and Rio so I could play more. Nowadays games are so easy it's insulting, there are unskippable tutorials about walking and camera rotating then it turns out the game is easy anyway a 5 year old can beat it if it is healthy to let a 5 year old play for hours. Also, Tanner checks his watch if you leave him standing idle.
This game deserves a remaster of some kind. I love the late 60s, early 70s style of the game: the clothing, the vehicles, the environments and all, it definitely fulfills its goal of being a love letter to 1970s crime movies and car chases. Maybe now in modern days they'd be able to implement things to do when you're on foot, since we're far from ye olden times where you can only press buttons or plant bombs. Maybe they should have waited for a PS2 release, I suppose we'll never know how that version could have turned out.
I played Driver San Francisco and I found it really fun. The mechanics they introduced for that game are real awesome. I hope you'll review that one day.
Awesome video as always man :) also may younplease review import tuner challenge on the 360? I just got it and its amazing after i got used to the handling lol
One part you missed out is that there's a button to make the handling a little better and stop you spinning out. Seriously, I played through it for like the hundredth time and I literally only realised that holding down L1 makes your car act normal lmao
Driver 2 was my Shit back in the Day I was thrilled to see what was on Disc 2! When I finally got there it was a relief 😂 Especially coming off the 4 Cars in 7 Mins mission Good Grief...
I loved the feature that allowed you to drive casually around cities as a tourist. You couldn't do that in other games back then. I spent more time there I think than the storyline.

I heard that someone is porting Driver 2 to PC. The progress on it has been going well, cars now load and you can drive around each city.
One of the benefits of a PC version would be the draw distance, I've seen the cities whole in a 3D program and it looks really good.
They should remake this for iOS and Android except fix the fps and have the draw distance set to infinite.
It would be fixed by itself running natively. PS1 is just a bit too weak for what they threw its way in some cases.

@Subi_fan still have memories of me driving the Ruf around the off road tracks
@@shnubdawg7730 means more crashes and more fun unlike dangerous driving
Omega Playz yeah, dangerous driving to me just doesn’t have that charm that burnout has.
@@shnubdawg7730 it's like the devs thought that crashing was the only thing in Burnout but there were other elements like stunt events, marked man and many more and the sense of speed felt amazing
Keep up the good work on your videos, ive watched most of them and ejoyed each one especially the Gta IV review
can't wait for the best video game title in history.

Don't know about driver 2, but Driver 1 is fantastic and it's not hard, it's a sport, the more you play the more you improve, the more you enjoy.
This game is my childhood but you're right, even my dad who used to be better than me on car games had really hard time finishing the campaign. Still, being able to get out the car to walk in the streets and steal cars in a 3d game was a living dream for the kid I was. And I think it's thanks to this game that my interest for funk and jazz music grew.
As an 11 year old, I got this game for Christmas and stayed up *all night* playing it nonstop that night. I was in love with it.
eagerly anticipating the mafia definitive edition review
I love Driver 2, I played it again not so long ago and I remembered that some of the missions are borderline impossible... But! It was a fun game.
An absolute classic and iconic videogame, no matter what they said, it´s still recommended playing it to this day. The only issue, it´s if you are a sh*tty player
This game was amazing, I finished it as kid. Dunno how, but I remember finding Toy Story 2 being harder.
Finding the secret Cars was a blast.
The 2player cops and robbers was 100% where it was at
Real entertaining video, loved to see driver 2 again
I honestly haven't heard of Driver series, until very recently. So I checked out your first Driver review, before watching this one.
I would like a review of Interstate '82, it is a game published in 1999 and the player is a "vigilante" in an alternative 1982, the game features more than 30 cars and a lot of weapons to put on them, the player has the ability to exit from a car and enter into another one, and there are more than 15 missions in a lot of different maps. The fact that the player can take any car he finds on the road and put an enormous number of weapon on them means that every time you start the story mode you can complete it in a different way, i.e. every time with a different car and a different weapon setup, thus changing the game experience every time you play it. I don't understand why Interstate '82 is so unknown despite having an enormous number of features compared to Driver games.
YES, YES, YES! My favourite in the series.
I always used to play this for the free roam.
12:03
I felt that 😤
At least the sound didn't glitch out and looped the police sirens :P
And as a kid, I hate those truck missions in Havana. Dear lord, I don't know how much time I've spend with those and I guess that today, I wouldn't have the endurance to try them that often.
All in all, I think you did a fair review of the game, with all the pros and cons it has.
14:56 Tanner doesn't have a left ear in this cut scene. This has always drove me crazy lol.
4:59 love that music in the background. This other youtuber called civvie uses it as well
Idk if it was specific copy’s but my copy has a glitch where in free roam you can somehow trigger cars to fall under the map and destroy them. I use to trap the police cars with it. Also the bridge that raised up was fun to jump, was blown away when I found out you could get out of your car.
Someone made an unofficial PC port of this game called "ReDriver 2." It still requires the original ISO of the game but the cool thing is that the game is NOT emulated. The installation involves extracting the contents of the ISO using a utility from the GitHub (where you also download ReDriver 2) and then the executable will use the assets from the ISO file to play the game. No more frame drops!
Cool. I was not aware of this.
I remember having it as a kid - with nothing to compare it to, the fact that we had so many cities that you could get out of the car and explore was absolutely mind-blowing.
With the power of hindsight, it's a wonder how the series lasted so long, as its nearly unplayable today, whilst other PS1 racers such as Colin McRae Rally and Toca 2 Touring cars are still fun.
Still, if it wasn't for these early Games, we wouldn't have got the masterpiece known as Driver San Francisco - which is really hard to get hold of these days, and Ubi seem to not have much interest in making a new Driver game.
You should definitely do driver: San Francisco. Good luck trying to get it digitally though...
Driver 2: Come to Brazil
there was a bug in chicago after jumping through a bridge, cars sometimes could fall through the road
as a kid i played havana only, never did any mission never touched the second cd, this game made me love the aesthetic and mood of havana and the cars
Driver 2 my best game fol all time and all series.
Oh man.. The days of booting this up to play Take A Ride for hours, the joy of finding a new alley or a car is irreplaceable. The soundtrack was the icing on cake, I still remember the music without playing it. I was too young to play the story, games back then was difficult so I wait til my dad unlock Las Vegas and Rio so I could play more. Nowadays games are so easy it's insulting, there are unskippable tutorials about walking and camera rotating then it turns out the game is easy anyway a 5 year old can beat it if it is healthy to let a 5 year old play for hours.
Also, Tanner checks his watch if you leave him standing idle.
This game deserves a remaster of some kind. I love the late 60s, early 70s style of the game: the clothing, the vehicles, the environments and all, it definitely fulfills its goal of being a love letter to 1970s crime movies and car chases. Maybe now in modern days they'd be able to implement things to do when you're on foot, since we're far from ye olden times where you can only press buttons or plant bombs. Maybe they should have waited for a PS2 release, I suppose we'll never know how that version could have turned out.
I played Driver San Francisco and I found it really fun. The mechanics they introduced for that game are real awesome. I hope you'll review that one day.
Still one of my favs games that graced this planet
bridge jumps were the high light of the game for me
Played Driver 2 to completion a few years ago after owning it as a kid. Was really fun. You can jump out of a car in motion by the way
Are you gonna review 3,SF ect..
the final mission with the president limo was a truly nightmare
Awesome video as always man :) also may younplease review import tuner challenge on the 360? I just got it and its amazing after i got used to the handling lol
I played this game for 100s of hours as a kid. I never once beat the first mission so all of the story mission information is brand new to me.
grew up playing driver 1 and have just started driver 2. currently in havana and the games is pretty fun despite its flaws
For a second I thought this was another review of minimie and then it was just as good but different!
One part you missed out is that there's a button to make the handling a little better and stop you spinning out. Seriously, I played through it for like the hundredth time and I literally only realised that holding down L1 makes your car act normal lmao
Driver San Francisco is my favorite in the series, it's an underrated gem, I remember the older psx/PC games being tough as nails
This is one of the first games I remember playing never got past the first mission tho because I was so young and didn’t know what I was doing
Driver 2 was my Shit back in the Day I was thrilled to see what was on Disc 2! When I finally got there it was a relief 😂 Especially coming off the 4 Cars in 7 Mins mission Good Grief...
Next wagon heavy with the jelly, take it out before it gets accross town
I've heard that line too much
