One of the best driving games!
Review created: 12/19/07(updated 12/19/07)

I bought this game around the time it came out, and I have liked it ever since. I'll admit, I don't like it for the story mode. I haven't even beaten the story mode! But what I do like is the take a drive part of the game. It's you, the roads, other cars, and the cops. It's fun putting this game in my old PS1 just to drive around and see if I can get away from the cops before my car gets totaled! There aren't many other games like it! In how many games do you get to take a muscle car out to terrorize the streets? Not many. The cops only make it more fun and interesting! They ram you, they try to turn you around, they setup road blocks, etc. If you're a good driver, you can have a lot of fun getting away from the cops. It isn't easy, though, and damage can add up quickly! I'd stay off the highways if I were you!
In the take a ride mode, there is practically unlimited freedom. You can go wherever you want in the large cities. You can duck away from the cops in parking garages, you can hide out in people's garages, get lots of air jumping bridges or in San Fransisco, etc., etc., etc. There's just so much to do.
And if you're not a great wheel man (yet), there are cheat codes you can enter that make you invincible and so on. The only other game like this would be Driver 2, which is better yet (because you can get out of your car and take a different one when the heat is coming down on you too hard). But Driver 2 aside, this game is just about as fun. I could easily spend hours playing it to this day, after owning it for all of these years. Heck, maybe someday I'll actually finish the story mode, LOL. But the take a drive mode did it for me. That was just plain fun! Exploring the cities while being chased by the cops... that's fun stuff. If you wanted, you could just drive slow and never get caught, but what fun would that be?
I give this game a 5 out of 5. It is definitely one of my favorite Playstation games, and is surly one of the games I have played the most! Lots and lots of fun for all ages! Very highly recommended!
