The story is basically: Tanner goes undercover with the mob to figure out their big plans. He does a bunch of low level stuff, (unknown to the mob) takes out their other driver so he gets the big job, and helps bring in a foreign assassin. By the time Tanner learns what they are really up to (killing the president) it is too late so he has to drive the president to safety himself. The mob has agents that have infiltrated the police and FBI, which is why the chase you in the final mission, and why you don't take your badge back: Tanner is disgusted by how easily the police were corrupted.

If you think the story in this one is bizarre, wait until you play Driver: San Franciso, in which you get into a coma from a car crash, and a majority of the game takes place in your mind, and you can gain control of other cars instantly while driving using coma magic.

Yeah, but that story is actually very well-told and you can understand everything easily. So much so it isn't afraid of delivering its main hook - Tanner's actually in a coma - right at the start. That's writer's confidence, they could've saved it for a cheap plot twist nearer the end. All in all, if I had to say one driving/racing game has ever had a good story - a real good one, not a so-bad-it's-fun romp - it's Driver: San Francisco, hands down.

I remember when the demo came out for the PC I was blown away! You could drive through fences in backyards and destroy shit, it was so fun.

Fun fact: you can disable the automatic handbrake turn in the options. This will make low speed steering more stable but it will obviously be more prone to understeer so you have to know how to approach corners.

So to avoid the cops being crazy fast and constantly getting the edge on you , I remember having to drive in the opposing lanes.

There’s a practice mode for the beginning of story if you search the menus, and you can watch and follow a ghost do it and you. That’s how I figured it out as a kid.

this game was too hard for me to finish but im still disappointed nobody makes driving games that arent entirely about racing nowadays

That will forever be hilarious to me and also a lesson as to why i don't trust these so called "gaming journalist" Hell, today's gaming journalism is filled with mediocre, whinny self proclaimed "journos" that it became a parody of what it once was.

Also by the way; the story, the game has different paths so there are multiple endings to the game

LOVED this game. LOVED the physics. LOVED the 60's/70's vibes. LOVED that the cops would chase you for speeding and running red lights. LOVED that you couldn't just drive through telephone poles knocking them over like most other games, they would mess your car up. They should really make a new one!

Oh man I just finished the game yesterday, I enjoy the driving physics in this series so much

I used to play this a lot circa 1999 - 2000. Really fun game. Oddly enough I never had a problem with the test/tutorial. I went on to beat the game, hard, but it is possible. When done with Undercover mode I spent a lot of time in Take a Ride mode, I was amazed at the detail and size of the cities for PS1.

I had to ask my mom what a Slalom was. It was 2006, I didnt have access to the internet. The amount of Dopamine 10 year old me got from completing the tutorial was enough to last me a week.

i think the intro is a really good way to start the game in a way, it really sets the tone. and a lot of people confused it for being a tutorial, which didnt help. but because you are already supposed to be this amazing driver, its fully a test of your abilities. i think it is really cool

You should totally do Driver Parallel lines next, it was my favorite game as a kid

The driver game was ahead of its time back then

I remember my dad bought this for me when i was a kid. I couldnt even beat the dam parking lot tutorial or whatever. I eventually decided to just drive around and follow the traffic rules

"Hey man, watch the paint" is forever etched into my memory.

i had to look up the word "slalom" in the family dictionary (pre-internet days, so we used books) just to figure out how to finish the tutorial.

Oh man that Cuphead joke got me good. Also 03:13 was smooth. Speaking of Driver I'm a huge fan of the first two games, Driver 1 is the reason why I bought a PS1 back in the day and I spent way too much time playing with the video editor feature. But from what I remember (which could be completely wrong) doesn't the game have a separate tutorial mode which can be accessed from the menu? if that's true then it makes a bit more sense why the parking garage level feels so brutal because the game may expect you to finish the actual tutorial mode first.

I was impressed of how the car handling and generally the behavior of the car. They have make very detailed job. Maybe you not believe it, but sometimes comes in my mind parts of the driving from this game, for example when you make a jump of how the car behaves when you land on the road and moves up and down like it's a low rider car. After so many years still i play mini parts of the game in my mind.

This Game have better driving and Damage physics than most games today.

Hey mayne, watch the paint! AHH YA WRECKED THE CAR, MAN!

I'm 40, this game still sticks in my mind, it was BRUTALLY difficult as a young teenager l, especially that tutorial level...but I eventually completed the whole game... I have never met anyone else in person that has also completed it, I've got SOOO many friends that hate Driver because they gave up at the tutorial level!😅

Acho que a expressão certa é "pulling my hair up" e sim, descreve perfeitamente a sensação de jogar esse primeiro Driver. Eu joguei ele no PC quando criança, na época que jogos saíam aqui pela Brasoft e Greenlife (lembra do Max Payne traduzido com falas e tudo?) e só vim finalizar o jogo depois de adulto, de tão difícil que era essa porra, mas realmente. Um jogo que definiu o estilo mundo aberto e construiu caráter de muito jogador.

There is a corner spot in golden gate park where if you hit it going full speed, you can drive out onto the ocean. I used to make my uncle mad by doing that, he said I couldn't drive on the ocean.

"This is my favourite game of all time" I still have my OG copy.

Man I remember getting Driver 1 and 2 in like a duo-pack for Christmas back in the early 2000's. I absolutely HATED the first one because I was a dumb kid and couldn't get past the first few missions lmao But Driver 2 was insanely underrated

I loved Driver, I was just a kid when it came out. My dad came home with it one day. We would both play the hell out of this game. I miss it. I was we could get a remaster or remake of this game. That test was a pain in the butt lol.

I loved this game. Me and my friend use to play it for hours everyday. It was so much fun. There is also a cheat called freight train mode where you can just push all other cars out of the way and they would go flying. It was hilarious to see.

Some of the best times were just driving around randomly running from cops in Chicago on Driver 2. (always easy loosing them on the highway)

One of the best PS games. The glitches were fun as well. Try and get a cop car to lay on its side and then slowly drive into its sirens and it would catapult the cars high into the air, if you landed on your wheels you could often drive outside the map.

Finally somebody speaks the truth about the test. As a kid, I had this game and the disc was scratched in a way that I couldn't save. I had to beat that test every time I wanted to play, and every mission afterwards, in a row, every time I played. Could almost always get to the final level, but never managed to beat it.

I’d really recommend The Driver from 1978. Great car chases!

Finally got around to watching this. I saw that Cuphead joke coming, but your delivery of it combined with your avatar’s expression left me in hysterics! Great review, you always seem to have a balanced take, which I enjoy. Also, it’s kinda mind blowing that games this big were on the PS1

English is not my native language and I was barely starting to learn it by then (In fact the psx helped me inmensely in that regard) and I had not slightest idea of what a SLALOM was, and i had no one to ask to, and had no access to the internet, so i was effectively stuck in that parking lot level for i think a couple of YEARS until i saw someone do a playthrough of this game's tutorial and first mission on a very popular at the time TV show from my country, and only then i was able to get through the tutorial and play the rest of the game ( I didnt get to finish it though)

Played the shit out of driver 76 and parallel lines , good stuff man

Was and always will be one of the best in its genre. So many good memories and I’ll add that I got past the tutorial when I was in the 3rd grade and got all the way to New York until it started really getting difficult so to older folks who couldn’t figure out, maybe your just not a true DRIVER. Games need to be this difficult again or at least have the option to be. Also Driver 2 doesn’t have the magic that this one has by a land slide but that’s my own personal opinion. Good stuff!!!

Yep absolutely

driver cheat codes for invincibility

Easiest way to do the parking garage is Burnout, Speed, Reverse 180. You don't need to do it slow "You reverse fast Tap the brake.. Steer hard right so it swings out and Accelerate immediately, Follow it up with a 180 and then a 360, Slalom through the poles then run the Lap" Done. I finished this on an emulator on my phone with touch controls.

I had both versions of Driver, but I used to play the hell out of the PC version. It definitely ran smoother, though I don't know that I would say it looked better. The fidelity of the textures was not great and everything was shiny. The most fun part of the PC version was exploiting glitches though the cheat codes. The amount of momentum you could build up would create some absolutely absurd crashes.

Dude, if you ever decide to play Driver 2 one day, you have my blessings because it is even more brutal, but I love the aesthetic of that game, the driver trilogy is one of my favorite games of all time, great vid!

Driver 2 is a bit less luck based, but it is indeed brutal! It is slightly easier if you know the trick to the destroy car missions: most of them have the chase car follow a preset path and have damage that is touch based. Instead of ramming the car hard, get along side and gentally rub against them and the damage bar will fill quite fast. Also when you get close to the other car, the game slows you down, so you want to pull alongside them from a couple lanes away.

The PC port wasn't an exact 1:1 port. At some point in development the teams working on both versions got split up, so the PC version ended up being pretty different to the PSX version. It does feature more cars (namely utility vehicles which the PSX only saw in Driver 2) and the maps look different (layout is the same tho).

I know Driver is brilliant and I just bloody wished they would completely remaster the very first driver game with absolutely nothing changed except the graphics that is all

Such a great game. I played it when it came out and saved so many videos to the Director editor. I wish I still had a PS1 to toss in the memory card and watch them again. I really want to play the sequels, especially the one in NY 1970's and 2000's.

The tutorial for driver was used as the demo on the discs you used to get back in the day with magazines, it got you interested in the car mechanics which then was something else

I'd love to see another driving game like the first Driver with proper Wheel support. No on foot gameplay, only driving; no magical switching between cars like in Driver San Francisco (eventhough i enjoyed that mechanic)

Absolute classic. I think the "Tutorial" is my favourite - it was hard back in the day and brutal but it made you learn how to drive and set you up for the difficulty ahead, if you couldn't pass that, then you'd fail a lot of the missions which you would anyway. The driving mechanics and physics hold up today, the only game that comes close today is Wreckfest.

Driver is great. The original stuntman is underrated too

Man I loved driver 1 and 2 it was pretty epic 😎
