What I would have given for 4 minnuts of fun during ANY of those chase missions.

And I beat the game today, maybe I can enjoy a little Take a Ride mode...

GameRush is your friend. Go there get 35 bucks of credit and then go get Nam 67

Which would continue the Driver 3 'experience' pretty well.

According to the SH4 Edge scores thread, Driver 3 scored a 3/10 while Shellshock grabbed 4/10, so it might be a slight improvement

The world is a strange place nowadays, with Midway releasing quality games and Atari/Eidos shoveling schlock summer after another...

The according to Eidos early Nam 67 demo i played wasnt so bad,although some moments made me laugh,like whole row of Vietnamese suddenly rising from nowhere(there was barely any vegetation and a bit water) so they basicly popped up from nowhere,animation was kinda funny.

The shooting part feeling wasnt too bad,i would give it based on demo 7/10.

Again i am talking about Shellshock Nam 67 and not horrible Driver 3

What does the video game ombudsman have to say about all this?

I was sorta pissed when is was canned for the GC, and was going to get it for the XBox about a month ago. Then E3 happened.

I knew this was going to be shit after the E3 impressions... And now i'm 100% sure it's shit.

Thanks for all the forewarning fellas. Saved me $50 .

Anyway, I haven't even touched Riddick yet (been playing Thief 3 for the past 2 weeks), so I have that for my Xbox.

He's gone to Europe on a two week vacation, it says so on the latest blog, towards the bottom. Rather fortuitous - maybe he can investigate firsthand the money hat issue regarding Driv3r's suspect reviews.

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

So from what i ve been hearing in the last days,it was confirmed that at least one Publishing house "heavly encouraged" thier reviewers to give D3 high scores,obvious reasons are exclusives and ATARI buying a lot of Ad space in advance.

So i wouldnt be surprised about increased amount of ATARI ads in certain mags ...


And to quote R.Reagan:"Rarely have so many people been so wrong about so much.Never have the consequences of thier misunderstanding been so tragic" /ironie

this sort of stuff has always really blown my mind.

Despite the criticism this game has gotten, I figured I'd still give it a try. I loved the first game (except the cheesy ending), never played Driver 2 and haven't played any of the Grand Theft Autos. So, I took into consideration others expectations could be tainted. After playing the game though, I have to agree. This game is horrible. I was expecting something like Star Wars: RS3 where great graphics and polished vehicular game-play would make up for the so-so on foot missions, but once again I was wrong. I know the PS2 can produce better graphics than this. There's no excuse for all the pop-ups, jaggies and broken seems found in this game when many lesser funded developers are doing so much more. As far as game-play goes, I don't see how Reflections could have screwed the game up this much, but they did it. It took me thirty minutes just to get out of the parking lot in the first mission. I could accept that if it were because of a complex scenario with tight controls (Splinter Cell), but poor controls and collision detection are the cause in this game. At this point Driver 3 looks to be Atari's successor to Enter the Matrix.

So can we make it official that the GameCube ended up with the best version of Driv3r?
