Still, the game runs very smooth and it's only the odd explosion where things frame up. Also, when you get air which you do a lot in the bounding streets of san fran-, you can hit invisible walls which reminds you of how unfree it is. The driving physics also get a bit weird at times, and the AI traffic just looks like it's stuck on rails. I think the world feels a bit rigid though - for a start, you can't run over anyone, and seeing those NPCS ice skate about as you climb the sidewalk just feels wrong to me. What I like about this game is there's lots to do, and lots to do with friends.

There's also split screen which we couldn't test out before our ps3 died. Seeing AI controlled cars get hit with lighting, and become human controlled, careering towards you is exhilarating. The most fun is a reverse TAG where you simply race and try to tag whoever is it, while shifting about from vehicle to vehicle to try and cut them off. There's a refreshing number of multiplayer modes, CTF, relays, a rather fun slipstream event where you conga line an Ai to win.

But where this teleporting mechanic really shines is in multiplayer, which is one of the best parts of Driver San Francisco. When other cars start shifting on you later in the campaign it gets pretty nuts though. Being able to shift at any time without much punishment does make you you lose that frantic pace of a good race and it broke the momentum and stress of things. It also means you don't need to get in and out of cars and run around all the time if you total one, but I did find the big eyeball overlay slightly intrusive. I liked the freedom it gives you, especially when chasing or if you pull a bum steer. What did you think of the shift mechanic? It's all about carefully accelerating out of a turn. Yeah, it took me a while to get used to the drift which doesn't have the sort of finesse that's required in a game like need for speed hot pursuit, but also isn't wacky like outrun - so it's somewhere in-between. It was good to see so many real life models of cars. Side missions also unlock cars which serve more as a collection thing. You can also ram vehicles, and it's quite thrilling lining them up. You can also boost by holding the right stick up, which i quite liked, using that sick removes some control while giving you power.

Either way, you need to get your car over the line, so you can't just zip to the finish line. Basically, if you can't win one way, try the other. You have the choice to either go offensive and take out competitors - which is often faster - or just race properly. I thought the variety was quite good in these Hex, but I enjoyed the standard races the most, because it felt more like a Burnout game zipping through oncoming traffic. These range from standard Street Races Protect missions where you'll need to shift about to destroy incoming vehicles Chase missions. To unlock story missions, you'll need to complete city activities. Yes, it can join our 13 dead original xbox 360s in the pile of hardware fail.

Ahh Bajo, our first ps3 to bite the dust. Every game should have that! Sadly we weren't able to finish off the last few missions in the main story due to a hardware fail of our good old PS3 Debug, so we don't know how it turns out, but we've enjoyed the story up to that point. It's nice to see a return of 'previously on' story catch up mechanic from alan wake.

There are some nice surreal moments that reminded me a bit of the excellent TV series 'Life on Mars'. There's lots of story to be told here through a nice blend of cutscenes and in game action, and all the dialogue also quite cheesy- which is part of the games charm. This is basically a game of using the good people of San Francisco to get into car accidents, to serve your own purposes. During this coma state, Tanner gains the bizarre ability to shift in and out of other people's bodies, allowing him to jump behind the wheel of vehicles at will - which allows him to investigate what Jericho is up to.

His arch-nemesis, Jericho, escapes prison using delicious acid, and forces Tanner into an accident, throwing him into a deep coma. Set a short time after Driver 3, you once again play as the good cop and expert driver, Tanner. This is a story driven racer, set in a rather faithful and beautiful open-world sandbox. The series has certainly had its ups and downs, but it's now back to impress us with Driver: San Francisco. The Driver games have been giving us good old car chases and stunt driving shenanigans since 1999.
