DRIV3R Hints XXX (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

The Chase mission

In Istanbul's The Chase mission, there is no easy way to describe how to drive after Calita other than saying that there is no reason to run into her when she is in the car, because her mass is much greater. After you chase her to the bridge, the intermission sequence shows her jumping the drawbridge. Go over to the bridge control room on the left. Go up to the yellow box and press L. The bridge will be lowered. Get back in your car and chase her while she is on the run. She will run into a motorcycle place. After the intermission sequence of her hopping on a bike, chase her on the bike. Applying the brake to turn with the bike is needed very rarely. Try releasing the gas rather than braking most of the time. Try to catch up to her, then bump her with your bike to complete the mission.
