Critic Reviews

80 GameZone
The first cinematic racing game ever made. It does things that have never been done in a racing game before, things that we're only used to seeing in "Metal Gear Solid."
65 Game Informer
More fun than watching the movie that inspired it. Of course, so is watching your inbred Uncle Eddie pick lint out of his navel. [Feb 2002, p.85]

If you want to go high on adrenaline and never mind the pain, then this might be the right prescription - so long a s you can get to grips with the controls.

Have you seen the movie Driven? Neither have we. But this game, which I based on the movie, gives us so many clues as to what the movie was like that we don?t feel like we have to watch the movie to know what it's about.

The competing cars really don't have a clue that you exist, happily veering into your vehicle should it happen to occupy a piece of track that they fancy for themselves.
30 PSX Nation
Rent "Driven", along with Square's "Driving Emotion Type-S", as it's suggested in page 47 of Dr. Jack Kevorkian's favorite book, "Final Exit".
29 GameSpot
You can accelerate up to 200mph within seconds and survive a brutal wall impact, but a low-speed scuff on the turf sends your car spinning.
20 GamerWeb Sony
Just stay away from Driven, for the love of God, stay away.
20 IGN
The good there is in the game, as far as its structure and design are concerned, won't ever be seen because the core of the game -- the racing -- is so poor.

The only way to be entertained by this game is to throw it in the microwave and watch it spark.
