Theres nothing better after a hard days work than playing DRIVER with superfast and freight train on.
(Well, I can think of something better... Angelina Jolie is single now isn't she???)

I know it's old, but I love the '70's music, ramming the cops, and getting AIR - SanFrancisco is the best for that.

"The suspect is heading West"

Spose all the ppl who played Driver migrated to GTA3 and no GTA:VC which i think lacks the realism Driver had, i loved the car physics in Driver, similar to the "Sabre Turbo" in GTA:VC, you also got a real feeling of Urgency in driver and some of the missions were incredibly hard but rewarded skillfull driving. I dont play it anymore, but great game non-the-less

i look forward to Driv3r (Driver 3) hope its as good as the screenshots ive seen, hopefully a grown up alternative to GTA:VC

Some Screenies, looks awesome....

I remember playing the 1st one & besides making my machine feel like it was a 486, I mostly remember it being very hard.

Another thing I didn't like is the fact you couldn't hide from the cops. It's like they had a radar & whenever they would drive close to you, automatically they knew you were there & started chasing you.

I have to admit I prefer the driving missions in GTA3 to those in Driver.

dont listen to him Steve, he knows nothing

Different games cater to different people, that's all. To each his own.

DOM, the screenshots look awesome...

I was planning on buying a 9600xt card, but d'ya reckon it'd handle it? My (is anyone looking? )fx5200 has gotta go.

The rest of my system is good, thats just one thing I haven't upgraded.

Any suggestions - graphics card seem to be pricey in Aust...

depends what your looking at spending, between £100 to £150 (not sure what that is in Ozzy Dollars) then the best you could get imo is a Radeon 9600 Pro, if your looking at spending between £150 and £250 then a Radeon 9800 Pro, between £300 and £400 then a Radeon 9800 XT, all of these cards would play Driver 3 i would recon, but nobody knows the engine Driv3r will use, if it is a highly demanding engine, then you may need to start looking at the Radeon X800's or the GeForce 6's (here : http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthrea...threadid=13083)

I dont think its gonna be out for a few motnhs yet tho, 6 months at least i think.

I would recommend you save and buy one of the new Radeons or a GeForce 6, coz theres a lot of new games coming out (Half Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry, Driv3r, Battlefield 2 etc) which are gonna be incredibly demanding, saying that tho, with the arrival of these new cars it should push the price of the older cards down, post a thread askin for everyones opinion, dont just ask for my opinion.

Happy Driver'ing

Cheers, DOM.

Will it still have the Corny soundtrack....
Maybe some Boney M or something???

the suspect has hit another vehicle

.....in the summer time when the weather is fine, daaaa-da-doo-doo-doo, daaa-di-daa-daa-daa, and so on
