The original Driver on the PSX was a great piece of
entertainment.
This is largely more of the same for the handheld, with several brief driving
games (Quick Chase, Quick Getaway, Trailblazer - knock some cones over as
you drive from A to B, Checkpoint and Survival - cop cars come from all angles
and you have to survive as long as possible)) and an Undercover option where
you complete mafia missions driving about Chicago and Rio de Janiero, mostly
utilising skills learned in the separate games.
Practice and multiplayer options are also available.
While it handles pretty well and is fun to play, there's nothing you haven't
seen before and it could be hard to justify a full thirty quid for a game
you're bound to have as a version at home.
Also, the graphics are rather lacklustre for a GBA game. This is probably
because there's too much moving onscreen at once as you drive down city streets
and the building pass by in a slightly jerky fashion owing to the low resolution.
However, it's not as bad as the static shots may make them out to be, making
them look like an old Atari VCS game.
The sound could definitely do with improving. Car games rarely have superb
sound FX, but the car grumbles along and the music sounds like it was created
on a Casio keyboard from the early 80s.
As I said though, it can be a fun game to play for a while so don't discount
it altogether. Do try to have a go of it first before you buy though, as it's
a game that should only be bought by those who want more of the same on a
handheld console.
When it comes to chase car games on the GBA though, I'd be more inclined to
recommend
Spy Hunter.
