Driver 1 & 2 Compilation (PlayStation, 548706545)

Driver

No doubt about it - this one is the driving game I was waiting for all these years. Pure fun. The best thing about it is the control of the car. This is the first game I know where you can throw your car into a turn and easily control your skid using your handbrake and steering. If you're skilled enough it really feels like 'sailing' on a concrete road. Unlike other driving games, the brakes here are very strong, and when you hit the brakes, the car really stops. When you pass all the missions on the 'undercover' section of the game, you get new cars and cheats enabled, which, of course, increase the fun level. Some of the new cars, combined with the 'super fast cars' cheat can go in speeds up to 300 mph. Not so realistic, but very much fun. The control of the car is, naturally, much more difficult in those speeds (In San Francisco you spend much of your time airborne). As for realism, this is a whole other thing. The graphics is quite good, but some things don't make any sense, such as: - People drive on highways at the same speed they drive on roads inside the city. - Cops get angry whenever you touch your handbrake even if you're standing still. - Cops keep blaming you for hitting other vehicles even when your car is flipped over. - I've never been to the US, but I can't imagine all the turns in New York, Miami, San Francisco and Los Angeles are right angled. - The other cars on the road are very much robots-like, and they will slam into other cars even when it's easily avoidable. So if you're looking for fun driving - this is the game for you, but if you're looking for realism - it's probably not.

Driver 2

The main thing you have to do in Driver 2 is to steal cars, follow people who are believed to be witnesses of the gun raid in the Red Driver bar or the deal between Lenny and a Brazilian Gangman and also to follow people on foot. I would recommend this Double pack to any one who likes car jacking feature and action.
