description:	The original f1i Driver f0i0 was one of the most popular and original driving games on the PSone and very much helped to pave the way for f1i Grand Theft Auto III f0i0 and others. The sequel, however, was a massive disappointment and seemed to prove that the f1i Driver f0i0 formula could only ever work again on the next generation of consoles. Now finally f1i Driver 3 f0i0 (or f1i DRIV3R f0i0 as it insists on calling itself) is here, and although it's not the disaster that the last game was it's still a considerable disappointment. As you would expect from developers Reflections, who also did f1i Stuntman f0i0 and the original f1i Destruction Derby f0i0 , the car handling and physics are excellent--perhaps some of the best ever seen. However, the artificial intelligence of your opponent drivers is almost laughably poor and the incredibly detailed graphics, which look so good in the screenshots, come at the expensive of some disappointingly short draw distances, with buildings and backgrounds suddenly popping up as if out of nowhere. The game itself is now very much influenced by f1i Grand Theft Auto f0i0 and you can get out of your car and hijack other vehicles. f1i DRIV3R f0i0 is still predominantly mission-based, though, and unfortunately the difficulty curve is still as frustratingly uneven as ever with some missions seemingly almost superhumanly hard. If you're a fan of the series then f1i DRIV3R f0i0 probably won't disappoint too much, but newcomers to the series may find this has rather more problems than you'd expect from such a heavily hyped title.-- f1i David Jenkins f0i0
