Driver is STILL Amazing

I wouldn't refer to the garage level as a "tutorial," but more of an "entry exam."

The story is basically: Tanner goes undercover with the mob to figure out their big plans. He does a bunch of low level stuff, (unknown to the mob) takes out their other driver so he gets the big job, and helps bring in a foreign assassin. By the time Tanner learns what they are really up to (killing the president) it is too late so he has to drive the president to safety himself. The mob has agents that have infiltrated the police and FBI, which is why the chase you in the final mission, and why you don't take your badge back: Tanner is disgusted by how easily the police were corrupted.

If you think the story in this one is bizarre, wait until you play Driver: San Franciso, in which you get into a coma from a car crash, and a majority of the game takes place in your mind, and you can gain control of other cars instantly while driving using coma magic.

For some reason i feel so much nostalgia watching ur videos , even if i didn't played all the games . Just the early 2000's vibe hits me hard

Legit no idea why no new developers still do this kind of driving focused action game

I remember when the demo came out for the PC I was blown away! You could drive through fences in backyards and destroy shit, it was so fun.

Ah, the Dark Souls of driving game. The parking lot tutorial and the police AI is brutal.

Fun fact: you can disable the automatic handbrake turn in the options. This will make low speed steering more stable but it will obviously be more prone to understeer so you have to know how to approach corners.

So to avoid the cops being crazy fast and constantly getting the edge on you , I remember having to drive in the opposing lanes.

There’s a practice mode for the beginning of story if you search the menus, and you can watch and follow a ghost do it and you. That’s how I figured it out as a kid.

I LOL so hard when u mentioned the cup head tutorial level, I always wondered how the guy qualified to be a "journalist" when he couldn't even understand tht the tutorial said hold the A button.

this game was too hard for me to finish but im still disappointed nobody makes driving games that arent entirely about racing nowadays

The driver game was ahead of its time back then

I used to play this a lot circa 1999 - 2000. Really fun game. Oddly enough I never had a problem with the test/tutorial. I went on to beat the game, hard, but it is possible. When done with Undercover mode I spent a lot of time in Take a Ride mode, I was amazed at the detail and size of the cities for PS1.

Oh man I just finished the game yesterday, I enjoy the driving physics in this series so much

Last mission: Nice driving, son!

You should totally do Driver Parallel lines next, it was my favorite game as a kid

"Hey man, watch the paint" is forever etched into my memory.

Also by the way; the story, the game has different paths so there are multiple endings to the game

i think the intro is a really good way to start the game in a way, it really sets the tone. and a lot of people confused it for being a tutorial, which didnt help. but because you are already supposed to be this amazing driver, its fully a test of your abilities. i think it is really cool
