I believe, actually, my post was that they're different games entirely. Y'know, what with GTA being good. Also yeah "bullit" is a pretty sweet movie.

Y’know, what with GTA being good.

Also yeah “bullit” is a pretty sweet movie.

I would tell the idiot who wrote this article to sit down and watch the 1978 move version of DRIVER, or maybe the move BULLET and perhaps even gone in 60 seconds that’s where the idea’s of this franchise came from , driver is about classic 70’s car chases , cop and robbers, car crashes, police road blocks and crazy stunts while creating a movie feel when ever you play the game where, the GTA series (which is great) is about missions and cruising around a city doing as you please. My message to gamers is don’t compare or analyse the two against each other like this dude has, I mean sure move with the times into this post GTA4 world, but how can one give an unbiased account of a gaming series created in 1998,2000,2003 and 2006 ,all are on obsolete consoles (PS1 and PS2) and all lack the amazing graphics of modern gaming and all lack modern refinement of this so called Post GTA 4 world. I would recommend getting out the old ps1 and playing the original driver you will see where I am coming from. This guy has played a modern game, then written about its competitors one of which is 11 years old and runs on a PS1. I’ve said all I am going to just approach driver games with an open mind , take a ride and enjoy what can come of it. THE NEW GAME WILL BE GREAT Thanks .

It's my favourite games series. And also, just becasue you don't like it doesn't mean you have to say that basically everyone thiks it's shit. I would much prefer Driver to GTA, which needs to include strip clubs and bad language to entice people to buy it, but with Driver, it's just the driving that makes people like it. And I hope Ubisoft announce Driver at E3. I have to say I really enjoy Driver.

Fun takes on a new meaning when you load the game with cheats: Every car, unlimited ammo, god mode... Ah... I can remember blasting around Brooklyn in an Abrams tank... Good times...

The second was ok when I played it(note: I hadn't played GTA at that time, and the internet wasn't a big thing in my life at that point, so I didn't know better) and Driver 3 was horrible! There was a cheat to turn on invincibility. If you had it on, you didn't die, but the cars took no damage. If you didn't have it on, the cops would shoot you dead as soon as they saw you, taking out all the fun. The first one had some fun extra modes(such as the pc's mode where the objective was to smash as many cars as possible for points) were good, but the missions were lame. Why would we want another one, when I could just go play Burnout?
