    Sure, Driver ’76 isn’t the end-all-be-all of PSP racing games, but you can’t help but have a fantastic time once you climb behind the wheel and explore one of the best handheld recreations of New York City.

    It doesn't do too much to suggest it's anything more than a Costcutter GTA, but it's a fun nostalgia-soaked affair. [July 2007, p.80]

    The limited amount of driving and action seems to go hand-in-hand with the slightly more conservative story, but it also drains some of the fun as well.

    Idiotic police AI, an extremely short story mode, useless collectables, weak on-foot combat and appalling load times all conspire to make this the weakest installment in the franchise.

    Have been a fan of Driver games since PS1 era and satisfied with the new games ala GTA mix with Driver style driving. Driver games have always been about driving and feeling your car. This game gives you the feel with addition to explorer New Your on foot as extra.… Expand

    Superb, in my opinion better than GTA, If you like the GTA driving this is even better, handling is so much more realistic and each vehicle really does feel right, the damage is also very accurate, and you can watch behind you as bits fall off your car and crumple as they hit cars, road etc causing more damage, brilliantly realistic feel, the graphics are spot on and very varied as you drive through the city etc...Sound is also near perfect, love the 70's sounds really get you into the flow...all round a mix between GTA and Race driver with a bit of fun thrown in, this game will make you laugh... Highly recommended 9/10.… Expand

    This game wants to be vice city with a bigger lean towards driving. but the driving physics is just so-so. Cars crash and damage to easily and once a car flips, it is toast. Gameplay wise it is nothing new. If you just gotta have a fair gta clone to hold you over til GTA4 then play Vice City Stories. This one is just ok and that just isn't good enough.… Expand
