UGO.com wrote:The impossibly moronic title is just the tip of the comically large Iceberg of Suck that is Reflections' Driv3r. For starters, the game's halfcocked story - featuring Michael Madsen in the lead role, along with other 'name' actors (the only real selling point) - closes with a stupidly ambiguous ending (which one died?!). An increased focus on on-foot activities throughout doesn't help either. Extra-vehicular combat wasn't fun in Driver 2, but at least it was limited. Here, you have a lot of footwork to deal with, and it's all bad news. Driv3r's supposedly updated out-of-car mechanics (including the new "ability" to climb ladders... whoa!) and some depressingly lousy combat (GTA III had better targeting) make every out-of-car segment in the game more than just a chore. It instead becomes full-time, 60-hour-a-week job with no overtime, no benefits and just one lunch hour every other Tuesday. For a series which is built upon entertaining car chases, there's just too little time spent behind the wheel in this one. Driv3r somehow strikes that perfect balance between Sucking and Blowing. And this is definitely not a good thing.

Blame it on Atari that fails in bribing video game journalists.

Don't diss Atari. Atari makes awesome games! One example is Unreal Tournament 2004, which in my opinion is the best UT ever, or the best game ever!!!!

No, Atari fails. It's failed since 1984

Atari does fail. I had more fun with my mom's 1988 Nintendo then I had with Driver 2 or 3.
And Nick didn't say that Atari Fails, he said that Atari Fails at bribing journalists, which is a true statement if I've ever seen one!

Atari's last good thing ever was the Atari 2600, which was released in 1977, and it was their second game console. The first sign of fail was in 1981-2 when they put Pac-Man on the 2600.

Open your eyes!!! What about the Unreal Tournament series. The Atari versions of UT are the best, even better than UT3!!

Atari doesn't make Unreal. They only publish it.

I am just annoyed by grammar errors. Some weird obsession.

My favorite Test Drive game is Test Drive: Eve of Destruction. All the fun of demolition derbies without any real antique cars getting smashed!

Yeah, it's too bad you couldn't do custom paint jobs outside of Career mode.
