Its so awful and i only completed The Chase mission because the person I was chasing got stuck on the wall and i auto won.

I don't know how they got Driver 1 so very right and then every game after except for san Fransisco is garbage.

    driver 1 and 2 were also dogshit but people remember them as good because GTA wasn't 3D yet so it was sort of like a preview of what GTA would be like. Then, once GTA was 3D, the driver series lagged behind and you had this cheap imitation of GTA in driver 3. the only good feature was being able to do instant replays with cinematography and stuff.

      i feel like driver legitimately had a difficulty wall to prevent children from playing, because the first fucking mission in either 1 or 2 was the hardest driving test of all time.

      I spent almost all of my time in Driver 1 doing instant replay videos of running from cops acab, the actual missions were such a pain in the ass, super hard and sometime you'd have to repeat two or three missions if you failed.

      Supposedly Driver 3 was good for making machinima videos like that. I've also heard Parallel Lines was pretty good, but at that point nobody was going to play Driver over GTA and it didn't have the bonkers premise of San Francisco.

      I will stand by driver 1 actually being very enjoyable outside the wierd soundtrack. Everything but the last mission I could do with relative ease and never found myself getting too frustrated with that game. Driver 2 is ass though and just ups the difficulty in the most stupid of ways.

      I'm replaying the entire series and so far Driver 1 is the only one I actually enjoyed and for a ps1 game controls really nicely.
