Hows about putting a little more effort in the opening post. You know I don't think iv'e ever played driver. Which do you guys recommend I play first.

[Bernard Jazz]

I would say the original Driver is the best overall, although if Driver 2 wasn't PS1 exclusive I would have gone for that.

The problem with Driver 2 is that the game runs ridiculously slow, it's barely playable on the PS1 but a ton of fun if you play it on an emulator.

The subsequent releases came across as subpar sandbox games, the driving was bollock twistingly annoying because the games were inherently broken (luck > skill) and the onfoot sequences were rather naff too.

I vote None... im not a fan of the Driver series...

[VercettiCrimeFamily]

I voted Driver 2

[silentsharklol]

Driver 2 is my favorite.

[Floro Solo]

The first one. but one and two are both great, all the ones after that are total crap. I have never played any of the mobile games though but I doubt they are better than the original games.

Hows about

Him stop making poll's?

 

I voted for Driver. Driver 2 is pretty close

[Vextroid]

Driver. That game was so freaking awesome I remeber finishing that game in a single 8 hour session (didnt own a memory card for my PSX at the time).

 

Hopefully San Fransisco will be awesome and take the reign as best Driver game for me.

[PHCharls]

Driver 2

[G The Generous]

well,this sound crazy but i like Driv3r

gameplay is kinda buggy,but it style,music,story,level design,are awesome

 

talk about the next one,Driver San Francisco sound like a fail game to me,all you do in that game is just driving around,chase some ass just for 1 reason: get Jericho

at least there should be some action sequences in this game(shooting,driver-by,jump from this car to another car,...),and this game is become unreal,"flash" feature for explame,Tanner can "teleport" from this car to another car just like some kind of superman,and that's mean the game is completely bullsh*t

[Capricornus]

Driver, the first one, has always been my favorite.

 

Driv3r would have been a favorite but the potential it had was not realized by its developers.

[Sunrise Driver]

Parallel Lines and 76.

[SaintJimmy]

Personally, I loved the first and second ones, and I also enjoyed the third and fourth but I didn't like them at all for them to be deemed part of the "Driver" series.

[EmagmaLak]

For me it was 2, i loved that game and spent ages playing it!

Like ive said before i seriously consider driver 2 to be the start of that kind of open world, free roaming crime genre! Although what you could do was limited, it got the ball going in the right direction!

 

Haha ohh memories, i must of done this a million times:

 

[Mister Pink]

Parallel Lines was great. Innovative game play, great driving physics and great soundtrack. The cut scenes were very cinematic, the car customisation was loads of fun and they boldy set the game in New York with two different timelines. You start off in 1978 go to prison and come out in 2006 or something. Loved it!

[Claude Speed.]

Well, let's see: I only played Driv3r and Driver Parallel Lines briefly. Driv3r was so buggy I think it's the worst game I ever played. Parallel Lines was much better, still buggy but better.

are u referring to me?

[shahmen]

Driver 2 for sure.

[Remix]

Parallel Lines was great. Innovative game play, great driving physics and great soundtrack.

I agree with you, but not on the driving! I remember pushing the handbrake button and the car just sliding like crazy. The slo-motion effect you could do was pretty cool though.

[Mister Pink]

I thought the driving was more similar to GTA IV than San Andreas ever was. Yeah and the slo-mo was great!

 

I used to love doing the slo-mo right when I was running over pedestrians. I'm a sick f*ck.

Yes he is.

[Petarkco]

Driver: Parallel Lines, it was the only one I actually completed. I just f*cked around in DRIV3R.

[cold fusion 33]

Parallel Lines was a great game at the time, and 76 was great because it came a few years later and reminded me of PL when I was on holiday. I might play it again soon actually, I forgot all about it.

Same also loved the fact the TT were in it.I voted for PLL

[PetsOvernight]

Driver 2... that game was f*cking epic as sh*t. I feel like playing it again just for the nostalgia, takes me back, man. Original Drive was also amazing, and still clearly remember the first time I played it when it came out; was revolutionary.

 

Played Driv3r like once and saw it was pretty crappy, and never played any of the other ones. I'll give the new Driver coming out a try but I honestly don't have very high hopes.

Yes he is.

well he can f*cking deal with it

i am not going to argue with him because i have got to much in my log so he can screw his self!

 

EDIT:just not to spam i wanted to say that driv3r lacked many things

 

-Melee weapons

-The police use the double speed AI

-Your health decreases if you swim in a swimming pool for to long.

I have to say Driver Parallel Lines. I played the first two games too late for them to wow me like they did everyone else, but PL was alright. It wasn't really great, but good enough. Also, it had a f*cking amazing soundtrack which kept bringing me back again and again. I still haven't found some of the songs, they are super-rare.

 

Short version: Parallel lines.

I do that in the beaches of MIAMI where the car is jumping up and down because of all the sand piles.

[WastedEngland]

Voted Driver, I played that religiously on PS1 as a kid.

Blew my mind when I got it on PC A year or so later and found out on the PC version you can choose what car you can 'Just Drive' in.

 

Otherwise it would probably be Parralell Lines, I liked how when you arrived in 2006, you could still see some of the '76 cars driving around. Something I've always wanted a GTA game to have, so you can choose to drive around in the GTA IV or Vice City era Banshee or the San Andreas era Infernus etc.
