So, in Istanbul, Tanner is pulled up by Interpol who wants him for the murder of Dubois. Tanner escapes with Jones, and starts shooting the police officers chasing their truck. It's difficult to destroy the cop cars, so shooting for the cops themselves is the only option to survive this mission. This is a major plot problem, seeing as how Tanner is a cop himself and starts mass murdering them just because he doesn't want to come in and explain all the sh*t he's pulled by that point.
But then, in the final mission, after gunning down at least fifty of Jericho's henchmen, he stops himself from shooting Jericho, for a completely unknown reason. Is it the "oh, I'm a good man at heart" catharsis or does he really just like playing cat and mouse with adversaries? And then it backfires, and we don't even see what happens after his heart monitor flatlines. The defibrillators come before the flatline, so we basically saw more of the end in the beginning.
Tanner is a totally different person in Driver 3 than he was in the first two Drivers; he's just a ruthless asshole, no better than the guys he's gunning for. I find it very difficult to have empathy for Tanner in Driver 3, because of his ridiculous behaviour. How'd he ever get to be a cop anyway, with such an unprofessional attitude?
I really wish Driver 3 spent more time in development. Damn Atari. It was obvious Infogrames had so much more plot planned than what we got; Jones narrated over at least half the FMVs when the characters are talking, and Michael Madsen speaks maybe twenty times throughout the whole game. Whereas Driver and Driver 2 were stretching the plot pretty thin, they had a story that didn't feel comparable to swiss cheese.
Anyway, that's my little rant. I really did enjoy Driver 3 on PC, with all graphical options maxed out. I was surprised it supported widescreen resolutions even after I applied the latest patch. No compatibility problems either on Windows 7 x64. Good job, PC-porting team
PS: Who bought the cars anyway? They set it up to be a big reveal, and then... nothing.
