DRIV3R Hints VII (PS2)

DRIV3R, also known as Driver 3, is a videogame created by Reflections Interactive and published by Atari. It was released for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony, the original Xbox from Microsoft, the Game Boy, the PC (a GameCube version was also in production but got canceled). The game was also later ported to mobile phones. It was initially released in June 2005 and classed as a racing title played from a first and a third person perspective. Driver 3 incorporates elements of a shooter, fighting and spy adventure game.

The third iteration in the series builds upon the legacy of Driver 2, allowing the gamer to again play the undercover cop who infiltrates an international band of thieves and is determined to get them to face justice. The main character is Tanner, the cop known from the previous releases, but one mission allows players to also control Tobias Jones.

Some of the cars that could be used in the game, although not named as such, are: 1969 Ford Mustang, 1975 Pontiac Firebird, Citroen CX, Aston Martin DB5, U-Haul Semi Truck, Ferrari Testarossa Convertible, Renault Alpine, Lamborghini Jalpa, BMW 507, Seat Ibiza, General Motors New Look Bus, Lamborghini Countach, Ford GT40, Shelby Cobra, a go-kart, Volkswagen Microbus, a hot rod, a forklift, a pre-war Auto Union race car and a Bugatti Royale.

DRIV3R was widely criticized by the gaming press because of the poor implementation of the missions that do not involve driving around a car and because of the Artificial Intelligence, which relies very much on cheating.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Miami: GT-40

Start in Miami and proceed to the two dots from the top (it is quickest). Go to a rectangle with a line through it. It is on the left side, and is very small. When there, follow the road going to the right. Pass the garden into the huge grass way. When you are at the end of that, turn left, down the underground road. When you exit at the end, go up the stairs on the left. Have a gun ready. When you have entered and exited the room at the top, Tommy Vercelli is waiting there for you with an assault rifle. Press the lever that is flashing behind him. Go back down the stairs and get back into your car. Follow the road and turn left. Keep following it until you come out of the road. Go straight ahead and turn left at the road. Get onto the road and when you come up to the buildings, go into the pit (on the right hand side). There will be a Go-Kart sitting in pit lane. When you sit in it, another Go-Kart rounds the bend and you can race it around the track.
