Driver Madness

Let us know which Driver, in your opinion, has the best soundtrack!

Mine personally is Driver 1 on the playstation. Best soundtrack to ever grace a game, ever. Allistair Brimble is simply a genius. Period.

This is a real tough one for me, oh Jesus.

As nostalgic and awesome those older Driver tracks are, I have to go with DSF on this one. No, not the Wii version. It displayed such great talent as always, but with a lot more variation and even more orchestral, cinematic movie like music.
I do enjoy all of them pretty much the same thought.

Going to have to go with San Francisco here (XBOX/PS3 version) mainly because they chose music that I think suited it well (Eye for an Eye, Devil in Me etc). Having said that, all the other Drivers are not far behind, I like the licensed music in San Fran most, but Driver or Driv3r I think have the best made for game music.

I say Driv3r. Introduced me to SLO-MO, Syntax, Stateless, and of course, Narco

Driver: You Are The Wheelman, Allister is a musical genius.

Hmm hard to say, Driver 1 had a great soundtrack but they're also linked to a lot of memories. It didn't have as many different songs as, say DPL, but I'd say from all Drivers it had the best music made for a game. I liked the Driver 2 music as well, especially the Take-A-Ride song in Chicago. As for Driver 3, after a while I couldn't stand the Take-A-Ride Miami music anymore (wait, I think they're all the same?) but at the same time it's linked to a lot of memories. So the made-for-game music is not even close as good as the one for Driver 1, even if it holds memories. BUT I absolutely loved the licensed songs, especially "C'mon & Try" at the very beginning of the game. Great atmosphere. DPL had a cool soundtrack, but the songs in 1978 started to get on my nerves after a while. The songs from 2006, well… most of them were horrible, but there was also some really really good ones that totally fitted the atmosphere of the game / the era 2006. I'd say DSF has better licensed songs in this case, I love a lot of tracks like California Soul or Eye for an Eye. One song that I can't stand however is the first that starts when you enter free roaming, it's always the same song and it even happens to be called like that ("Same Song") while the singer sings "It's the saaaaammee song, It's the saaaaamme song" or something like that, wondering if that was a pun or not…

I noticed that. It has to be some kind of sad inside joke, LOL.

I think so too, it just can't be a coincidence haha…

"Say it's the same you!
And it's always been like this."

Song: Labyrinth - The Cure.

On the PS3/360 version the music playlist is randomized, luckily. On PC it ALWAYS starts off with that one The Cure song in end game free roam.

Trolling, developer's style xD

I'll have to say Driver 2 and Driver 1 take-a-ride music, every single track in each city in Driver 2 (day & night) was brilliant. I like each song in each city, and same goes for Driver 1, I love both of those soundtracks. I like Driver 2 more as I grew up with it and have been listening to it for 13 years.
