DRIV3R, which is 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 Game Cube 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
Retribution mission
Use the following trick to finish part three of the mission fast and easily. Leave an extra health pack on the way to chase Gator. Do not shoot the thugs outside. Just run to the boat and chase Gator. Do not lose him or the mission ends. Chase him to the Stiltsville deck. Stop in between the two decks. Make sure that they do not see you. Shoot the two on right deck top and bottom. On the other side, shoot the three thugs; one on top and two on the bottom. If you cannot reach the thugs, stand on top of the boat. Then, go back to the docks.
Stay in the boat and shoot the thugs that you left behind. When they die, go up to the docks and get your last health pack that you left in the second room. If you do not need the pack, go back anyway until you see Gator's life meter again. This also happens if you need the health pack. Go back to Stiltsville deck. Park near the one with Gator's boat. Stand on the boat and shoot the man on the top that is ready to shoot you. Then, park the boat by Gator's boat. Get off. Do not go up to kill the thugs. Stand by Gator's boat and shoot at the back engine of the Cigarette 38 Top Gun boat. Watch as Gator's meter goes down and finish the mission.
