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.

    I played quite a lot of this game as a kid because I was a sicko although yes, it was very janky. Feels like there's a decent game hidden beneath all the bugs somewhere though, the dynamic vehicle destruction (including bullet holes appearing in cars where you shot them) felt pretty revolutionary at the time and was a few years ahead of other games to have it like GTA IV.

    I remember I used to use the video capture mode to make short films of the main character shooting up police cars in slow motion like something out of a Daily Mail journalist's worst nightmare and that was pretty fun.

      It was very ambitious and has some decent driving physics. I used to just apply the cheats and drive around free mode when i was a kid and enjoyed it.

      The missions themselves aren't that bad until they make you go on foot or use a motorbike which are insufferable.

        Yeah this was definitely 90% of my play time, haha. I did think the locations were kinda cool as well, not every day you see Nice and Istanbul in a video game, especially at the time.

        I'm pretty sure I completely hit a brick wall with one of the main missions where you have to fight like 20 enemies in a mansion and then have a bike chase or something.
