The handling, feel, response, and sound of each vehicle feels very right. This is a brilliant driving game!… Expand

   I have been playing it for 3 weeks. The game is great !, it will start to get better the more you play on the story and other city sideI have been playing it for 3 weeks. The game is great !, it will start to get better the more you play on the story and other city side missions. With all kind of missions stunts available I'm having a lot of fun, the handling of the driving of the cars is like a simulator quite realistic to me also as you advanced in the game you will get to drive a lot of new cars suv 's, trucks and sports as well as racing machines and some off road vehicles.
   
   Also graphics are on top notch to be handled by DX9 every single part of the city, road, cars, crash, civilians, effects are all well detailed ...
   
   This game is like having 3 in one; NF most wanted, something of Dirt 2, and something of mafia 2.
   
   I highly recommend it. I know Ubi soft has bad reputation to have screwed some games but this one, is not one of them.… Expand

   Очень хорошая игра, может быть, это не то же самое чувство, что и драйвер PS1, но она заслуживает того, чтобы ее попробовать.Очень хорошая игра, может быть, это не то же самое чувство, что и драйвер PS1, но она заслуживает того, чтобы ее попробовать.

Dialog is great (helps ease the repetitiveness and renders some laughts), background music is great too (a lot of "70's car chase" soul music, i can't get enough of that), runs great on my laptop (C2D T6500, Rad HD4650M), controls great with the keyboard (but i'll most probably blow the dust off of my old generic USB controller, for precision sake), the SHIFT mechanic (that at launch time pushed me away from this game) is actually great (altough goddamn weird, but i have no problems with weirdness) and thats it. And it still managed to stay pretty hard, like it's predecessors.
   
   And as of now, you can safely start and continue playing offline, you only need to register it online on the first run. So, no DRM hard time.
   
   It's a pure arcade driving game with a weird but pleasant twist.… Expand

   Unexpected gem. Lots of licenced cars, great physics, cool abilities and a beautiful city to explore.

The shift-function works really well and and feel like a core part of the gameplay and not just some stupid gimmick. It is also used quite frequently in the game in a lot of different ways making the game really stand apart from other racing game. I completed the campaign in 12 hours but I had a lot of side missions left to do. The story was actually surprisingly decent and it really fits with the shift-function. The conversations that occur when you shift both in free roaming and in narrated side missions also works really well and i found myself smirking from time to time. I thought the driving worked well enough as an arcade racer but i seldom play racing-games so i don't know how it compares to other games in its genre. The game isn't flawless though. The checkpoints sometimes forces you to replay needless bits, the environment is quite static and there is some invisible walls here and there, cinematic-views sometimes take away the control of your car in critical times, lack of customization, some gameplay bits in certain missions just doesn't work very well and the game does look kind of visually dated here and there. I still had a lot of fun with this arcade-racer and if you are looking for a racing game that tries something different you should give Driver San Francisco a shot.… Expand

   In usual Ubisoft fashion, the game is a bad port of a console game that literally doesn't even work. I don't know if the game is any good onIn usual Ubisoft fashion, the game is a bad port of a console game that literally doesn't even work. I don't know if the game is any good on the consoles (it was well-received), but the PC version is a disaster. Barren options menus, crash-prone, no longer available on Steam (and if you already have it on Steam it launches Uplay anyway) and, most importantly, extremely poor gamepad/wheel support.
   
   Simply put, if you plug in anything other than X360 controller, the game crashes on launch. Reportedly, at times it crashes even WITH a 360 controller. This is a port of a racing game that doesn't properly support racing wheels, forcing you to play with a keyboard or, if the stars allign, maybe a 360 gamepad.
   
   On top of that there are reports of corrupted saves and problems with system compatibility, crashes and other problems that require messing with local files, reinstalling and manually deleting saves to fix sudden hangs and crashes that make the thing unplayable.
   
   Ubisoft is the worst AAA company when it comes to PC gaming and they need to be held accountable for distributing product of this quality. 0/10, the game doesn't launch, it's useless.… Expand
