   First of, this game has been TRULY underrated !. I did not buy this game at launch, because i had my doubts, but looking back, i should have bought it at launch. This game is really fun to play, the graphics are truly amazing ! The game also runs incredibly smooth and fluid on a constant 60 Fps, which is very rare in this current generation of consoles...Sadly. (There are only a handful of games on Ps3 that run on 60Fps like; most Call of Duty's, GT 5, Ratchet & Clank series, Wipeout HD, Rage, Mortal Kombat & SF, Mini Ninjas, and maybe a couple more.) To me game play comes first, then the frame rate, and after that, graphics and sound. So to me, Driver San Fransisco was a real treat, running with these stunning graphics, on 60 fps. The car handling is also great, the handling is tight, and the response is great. Driver SF also manages to capture the feel and vibe of the first Driver game very nicely, and still manages to have it's face of it's own. When i started playing it, i could not let it go, and kept on going, first the main missions, but also the side missions and challenges that came available, i really had fun with it, and hours just flew by. The music in Driver SF is also superb, and fits the game really well ! The sound effect are also nice, and sound "crispy". The multiplayer has been created very well also, there are a lot of different modes, and are just very fun to play. To me personally, a little less shifting in the multiplayer mode would be nice, they should have limited the amounts of shifts you can get / use, but that's just my personal opinion. All & all Driver San Fransisco is a true gem, which has been truly underrated, please don't hesitate, and buy this game if you like driving games, i still really enjoy it !… Expand

   Lets keep this simple...... ITS A LOT OF FUN!!!!! The gameplay and being able to truly drive through the streets of San Francisco is awesome. Really accurate map and the realism of the car you drive is so much fun. Jumping from a sportscar to a bus to a taxi to an 18-wheeler. Its cool how the cars give different drag. Its just fun smashing all those cars!… Expand

   DRIVER: San Francisco's singleplayer is a great part of the game. The shift mechanic works by playing a part in the story and adding comedic effect when the protagonist, Tanner, is talking to civilians who don't know he has shifted into the other person. The cars are authentic but are usually repeated with the same cars over and over again. The handling of cars are fine unless you start to drift or on dirt roads where the handling takes a nose dive with many times the car spinning out of control when in other games it wouldn't. The story is okay, if a touch bad with Tanner playing most of the game and suddenly (SPOILER) waking up and taking out the bad guy in 1 mission. There are plenty of side missions and cars to keep you playing after the credits, though. The multiplayer is where this game let's down. The shift mechanic rarely works to your advantage in the modes where you need to hit someone as they'll usually just swerve slightly the other way leaving you crashed and waiting for a few agonising seconds to try again. The modes are usually unbalanced with the higher ranked players winning as they take the objective at the start of the game, changing their car into a faster car like a Lamborghini and dominating the rest of the game without anybody touching them. DRIVER: San Francisco is not a "must buy" like a lot of reviewers are/were saying and the multiplayer isn't going to be a "Call of Duty killer" but the singleplayer does hold up as a decent driving game. Further patches could improve the handling and fix balancing issues but with no DLC planned (the developer stating in interviews there will be none), I would wait until it comes down in price before giving it a look or renting it.… Expand
