Driv3r – Burning Rubber or Blown Engine?

Driv3r appeared with the smell of burning rubber and the bellow of exhausts, yet it was quickly and quietly forgotten about and left in the bargain bin. Was it really that bad?

Driv3r, the third installment in the popular Driver series, was the first game to progress from the PSX onto the sixth generation consoles. Early screenshots showed the game to be open world – a mix of car chases with realistic damage, intense gun battles and detailed environments. The game was in development for just over three and a half years and had awaited with anticipation.
