Late-model 'Driv3r' needs repair work
If you enjoy the thrill of a good car chase, you might want to step behind the wheel of "Driv3r," the latest installment in the top-selling and award-winning "Driver" series of 3-D adventure games.
The new title, available now for Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox and Windows PCs, once again has you assume the role of Tanner, a tough undercover cop and master "wheelman" who pairs with partner Tobias to penetrate a global car-theft ring and identify a buyer who has ordered 40 stolen vehicles.
If you're familiar with the "Grand Theft Auto" series, you'll be at home in "Driv3r." It's packed with expansive city environments that feature 150 miles of highways, city streets, dirt roads and alleys to test your driving prowess. As in any major city, the roads are bustling with traffic and pedestrians, and more than 35,000 buildings are rendered with stunning detail. The game's three destinations are Miami, Florida; Istanbul, Turkey; and Nice, France.
You can drive as many as 70 vehicles while playing the game, including muscle cars, hot rods, pickup trucks, sedans, high-speed powerboats, mopeds and bicycles.
