What may come as a surprise is that Driver: San Francisco is the ninth game in the official series, including two mobile phone games but not including three spiritual successors. Because of the games’ niche appeal Reflections had a hard time getting the original audience back after Driv3r. While both had their positive sides, neither managed to keep the magic of the Driver series at full speed. Stuntman eliminated the open world setting in exchange for linear, heavily scripted action sequences.and Driv3r went the opposite direction by incorporating on-foot shooting segments. Then came Stuntman (a spiritual successor) and Driv3r.

Once again, Film Director mode was a boon for showing off clips to get your friends in the mood for some splitscreen games of car tag. Driver 2 added free roam mayhem for two players in split screen, plus the ability to leave your car and steal others, Grand Theft Auto-style.

One of them is Driver, the original sandbox vehicular action game from Reflections Interactive and the start of an extremely long-running series.ĭriver included a Film Director mode that added hours upon hours of replayability: drive, record, edit film, repeat.

You know those games that sit on your shelf, the ones that you’ll never be able to bring yourself to get rid of? The ones that you keep, just in case you decide to play it once more for nostalgia’s sake? I’ve got a small handful of those.
