With over 300km of sandbox roads, free-roaming mission-oriented gameplay and a recognisable interpretation of a US city, you could confuse Driver: San Francisco with a Grand Theft Auto title. However, just like back in 1998 when Reflections Interactive...

It’s been a while since the Driver series has had any reputation to speak of. After two fine outings of races, chases and high-speed thrills, Driver 3 pretty much killed the brand with its broken gameplay and shoddy handling, and while we loved the coo...

Arbitrary time limits in missions, Storyline not totally convincing...

Back in the original PlayStation days, Driver’s car chases thrilled but then came Grand Theft Auto with its sprawling cities, criminal cool and freedom. Suddenly Driver’s cop focus and disappointing stabs at on-foot action looked old hat. But now the...
Its bountiful supply of missions, silly rather than gritty approach and top-notch driving around San Fran on offer means Driver has thrills aplenty...

Driver has been around for a long time, despite never really enjoying the kind of mainstream success that other open-world games such as Saints Row and Grand Theft Auto have. Of course, it doesn't help that the series has had a very poor critical his...

October 1, 1999. That was the date the first Driver game from Reflections released on the PC under the Atari label. As I was reminiscing over my original review for that game and rolling my eyes at the 12-year old PC graphics (running on my Diamond Vip...

In the crowded videogame market it’s important to distinguish yourself against the competition. Some games come out with unique features, some with bonus content, and others rely on a concept that is so bizarre their game stands out from others in the...

The fourth instalment of Ubisoft’s ‘Driver’ series goes back to its roots in Driver: San Francisco; and with its fast paced, hard-hitting action, ultimately provides the best experience so far… Most driving games don’t really have that much depth when...

Driver is considered by a lot of players to be a classic arcade title, from way back in early 2000s. It was regarded as a great game for its time, though unfortunately a few of its sequels never quite lived up to the original. Which brings us to Driver...

I don't normally play non-kart racers. They're frustrating exercises in a type of precision I don't possess. I don't play destruction derby games, or anything in the Twisted Metal series, and my relationship with Interstate '76 was less than friendly...

Chasing down crooks in high-speed chases, performing death-defying feats of driving, or bringing down entire criminal organisations might be a bit much for your average cop, but Driver: San Francisco's John Tanner takes it in his stride. As you take co...
Shift keeps the action fast paced and exciting, Huge openworld city to explore, Masses of content to play through, Fun online modes.
Ridiculous storyline, Frame rate issues with splitscreen, Missions get repetitive toward the end.
Driver: San Francisco's inspired shift mechanic and wealth of action-packed content make it an absolute blast that revives the franchise...

The return of Driver will divide many, and not because the quality of the series swings back and forth with pendulum like regularity. The journey through San Francisco serves up it's own marmite formula, and for the most part, it's hugely difficult to...

Watch Video ReviewThere's a lot to be said for offering something new. While Driver San Francisco might look like just another entry in the long-running open-city driving series, in which you nip about in a variety of cars, evade cops and generally cau...

As a game with possibly the most ridiculous and difficult-to-explain premise of any driving game in history, Driver: San Francisco has a lot to prove. It's difficult to see how a racer in which you can zoom out of your own body and temporarily inhabit...
Driver: San Francisco has one game-changing, eyebrow-raising idea and it pulls it off with aplomb, infusing the OTT arcade racing with unparalleled variety and a ridiculous supernatural twist whilst staying true to its Seventies chase-movie roots. It l...
