Ive been told its awful..

Released 2 weeks early, bugs, graphical problems, clipping, bad dialogue and story.

The list goes on, still selling well though - thats console gamers, easily pleased ;) :lol:

So far it actually looks a lot like GTA vice city with better gfx physics and lighting effects.

can't comment on the story, so far it's ok-ish I guess :) It's not like GTA had a great story.

GTA had a decent story.

give it 2 years. It'll be out on PC with better GFX for quarter of the price.

The first Driver is still one of my favourite games ever. Driver 2 was crap, and Driv3r is average.

it wasnt the publishers that released it early it was a store that broke the release date and sold it early, making all other stores able to sell in early, in the uk anyway...

Had it. Sold it already. Ill concieved, bland, highly buggy, bad voice acting and just outright boring. Needed at least another 6 months of development. Total GTA knockoff done bad and released early in fear of the real thing.

Wrong! The publishers pushed it out to stores alot sooner than it should have been. The game is still buggy and quite frankly shit. I dont think Atari's QA team even bothered to test this thing for more than 5 minutes. Stores selling it a week earlier than it should have been doesnt change the fact that it's buggier than an ant hill. Thankfully I work for Game so I got to play it before I even thought of buying that POS game.

i must know..
does driver 3 still have free ride mode with the replay editor?
that was my favorite part of the previous driver games. crashing around town then directing a replay with crazy angles. the story, the walking controls, dumb AI.. none of that maters to me as long as i can direct crazy replays of freeride mayhem.

That WAS the reason it was out a week before its release, it might have needed another 6 months but it wasnt rushed out ahead of its intended release date. I wasn't disputing the state of the game just the impression that the publisher pushed it out early.

The new controller which ships with the xbox as standard, is the one originally designed for the Japanese market (they have tiny hands)

It is small, light, and extremely sexy to hold - Extremely nice pad.

@ Odin - I was so right ;)

The Xbox is quite a good console actually. You get some really nice games on it that you wouldn't see on the Gamecube, although the Gamecube is a lovely console too. I have both, and there both good in drastically different ways.
