I love my emulators and I have to say that whilst the game has obviously aged, there's still something a little satisfying about throwing the car around in these games.
That said, the map - which looks like it was designed on graph paper - leaves a bit to be desired nowadays. It does get a little boring.
Driv3r really should have been the pinnacle of the series, but it just stands as a testament to why you should never rush your game out. San Andreas was quite possibly the most hotly anticipated game of all time; they were never going to beat that.
Driver San Francisco is the pinnacle in my opinion
I dont really remember much about the first game besides the mission in the post, but i do remember driver 2 being really difficult game.
That one mission where you have to hijack the truck or something like that, and the car that is pursuing you will just kill you 5seconds into the mission if you slowed down for a turn lol
After 50 resets of the mission i just desided that i will not even try to follow the truck if it takes 2/3 possible paths, just reset and hope for easy route and then T-bone the truck hoping to complete the mission in the first 10seconds.
Or the mission that asks you to take out like 3 cars across the map, with a really strict timelimit, and sometimes the car you hit takes 50% damage per hit, sometimes 5%.
I was definitely going insane at some point in the playthrough.
Also ReDriver 2 PC port of driver 2 exists and is fully playable.
