Hey,

I just read on Driv3r.com that it's out, so I went to my local game store:

Silenteye is looking trough the shafts, can't find it..
He walks up to the shop keeper and asks "Hey, Driver 3, you got that came yet?" And the shop keeper answers with "Errr PC? Nope, september :p"

I'm like errrr, nice....

So I was wondering if anyone knows of an online shop where I can order it!

Thanks,
Silenteye

I have no idea where you live so can't help you mcuh, but try www.Amazon.com / www.Amazon.co.uk / www.Amazon.mars / etc


btw I heard it sucks, and it's full of bugs. :(


Just checked. The PC version isn't out yet, only the console versions.

The movies look incredible and I love the motorbikes! *drools*

I live in the Netherlands for further notice :)

EDIT: While looking trough the website, it seems that its only out on the PS2 and XBOX for now, grrrrr!

Or not: here (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001OFP5U/qid=1088771876/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i4_xgl/026-5663515-9707638)

Thats what I thought, but I have been reading a lot of very bad reviews.

Check out these reviews. 4/10. 3/10... (http://www.tothegame.com/newssearch.asp?newstitle=driv3r)
Good graphics don't always make a game good. Driv3r is proof. :(

Not from what I have heard. I would wait for GTA4 to come out.
Who knows, you may even like Driv3r, although I would deffinetly read the reviews for yourself before making your decision.

Weird maybe, but I seem to like the game.

That review you showed me is just "one of those" you know?
I'm sure there are lots of people who do like it, right?

bit of a dissapointment if you ask me, it all looks nice but meh the world to me just seemed empty, i got bored of it after a short while playing but it's worth a go heh.

VC>Driv3r IMO :p

If you have a console somewhere or download a decent ps2 emulator you could always rent the console version from somewhere and see what you think heh

GTA4 is going to rox joo. That will make you happy again.
With Half Life 2 so close, and not to mention DoY.

There are some good games on there way, cheer up Joe. ;)

Hmm, I guess you're right... I think I'll wait and buy GTA4, HL2 and DoY.

You scare me though, calling me Joe, how do you know my name is Joe? :confused:

played it for a week now, already got bored and de... sold it.
GTA is in many ways better. Bikes look good and seeing the bullet holes in the cars also look great. but gameplay wise gta has the upper hand

yup and san andreas is supposed to be even better, with it being 5 times bigger than VC and not having to load except when entering buildings :eek:

Oddly enough the review that gave it 9/10 got free advertising inside the manual.

Vampire is right about vice city. Only thing to come close to it is Mafia.

For the love of god avoid it at all costs! Already sold the xbox version off.

Spiderman 2 on the Xbox is kicking ass so far though. GTA open style concept of a completely scaled manhattan and excellent physics. Random missions are pretty basic and the same but taking that stage dive off the empire state building is worth more then anything :) Should tide me over till Madden 2005 and Fable :)

Is Spiderman 2 on the PC?

Nope. They are bringing out a PC version but it's nothing like the console ones. The version being brought to PC is a dumbed down totally different game.

I saw the PC version, doesn't look dumbed down at all.

Reasons to buy this game :

If you have a Ps2
If you like driver
If you want an amazing game

Reasons NOT to buy this game :

If you have an Xbox
If you think it will be GTA
If you want to believe some dude sat in an office typing up reviews of a game they probably barely tried.

If you read _ANY_ bad reviews about this concerning graphic bugs and just bugs then they are playing the Xbox version, which im sure just about every reviewer tested this game on the Xbox for obvious reasons (its got better hardware).

Edit/ See....look what version Odin has and look what he did with it. Sold it.

Get a ps2 if you want to play this game properly, they are better anyway with software and have 4 dominating titles that nothing else compares to, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy.

Whats the Xbox got, Halo :lol: which i personally think its worse than Breed on the pc.

I won't start.


So first GTA: San Andreas comes out and then next year GTA 4?Yes, GTA:SA will come October this year. GTA4 doesn't have a release date yet I think.

goes like:
GTA1
GTA2
{GTA3/GTA:LC}
{GTA:VC}
{GTA:SA}
GTA4


So far GTA:SA looks good. You can finally SWIM :eek:
It's sounds more like a rpg kinda game with every tidbit of info coming out..

That's one hell of a relief. I guess I'll buy Driv3r when it comes out on the PC as well, I got plenty of money anyway :p

Fable looks great, but I'm awaiting Jade Empires more. Dunno, I just loved Neverwinter Nights & SW:KotOR I guess.

Yah but I was thinking of the more immediate future. Jade Empire's on the future list along with Conker, Forza etc
