    "Though Gameloft kept the seventies groove of the original Driver, the upgraded visuals are immediately noticeable.    "Gameloft has completely spruced up all the original graphics making for a much more colorful and visually impressive game than the original." (TouchArcade)
    "Though Gameloft kept the seventies groove of the original Driver, the upgraded visuals are immediately noticeable. It's not just that car models and building architecture are cleaner. Gameloft gave Driver a fresh paint job" (IGN)

    I can't get over that. I also can't get over how great of job GameLoft did in porting this classic. Get this game.

    The game may have its flaws, but Gameloft has done a great job in making what could have been a quick and dirty port into a legitimately fun piece of software.

    Driver struggles at times to work here as well as it did on a dedicated games console, but it's still an excellent port that has managed to retain the majority of what made it so much fun back in the day.

    Though it laid the groundwork for many 3D sandbox titles to follow, Driver hasn't aged especially well, but it is still enjoyable in short bursts.

    Not without its quirks, many of which are part and parcel of a ten-year old game, but the abundance of style and busy streets make Driver a continued success.
