THis game although for people unaware of the DRIVER Series , would seem like a GTA type game , your only objective in the game is to drive. Race to checkpoints , Overtake cars , chase and takedown a suspect etc etc// The story seems to be quite confusing and twisted , considering how you change to different cars in the game [ Let's not provide any spoilers :) ] :|

I would say this game is quite fun to play.

I'm totally enjoying this. Mission types are varied and very good. Controls are smooth. There is a bit of challenge in the missions. I am very much liking this.

Only complaint - Color tone. It just looks darn dim.

Couldn;t have said it better , the game is a lot of fun to play , the missions are a mix of GTA and NFS :D

And the graphics does look a little bit outdated but i'm not complaining :)

Yes it indeed looks dated. The car models are looking great. But world... not so great. They could have added bit more detail to damage models. Not to say that they are bad now. But a pure racing game could have used a bit more details to the damage model. And I really like the way he uses his second hand to steer while doing long turns. Adds a lot to the realism. And also, the way it animates when we apply hand break. Using one hand for hand break another to steer the car in a middle of a chase just feels very nice to me.
