So after a
couple more positive comments, it again shows it
is possible for people to like DRIV3R, and
therefore possible for PSM2 and XBW to like it
too.

Edit- *Looks up*.

Any game review
outside the magazines mentioned several times in
this topic and a few websites is complete and
utter tripe. They are nearly always influence
entirely by the writers personal preference, show
shite English and complete lack of knoweledge for
the games industry, yet alone their own.

This was to Jamiej's
post.

I'm glad to see that a guy
with no grammar, and a review from a music mag,
are able to influence you so! Come on tnman, you
must be able to see how dodgy the whole PSM2/XBW
thing looks,
surely!!!

I don't know
they might be DivX in which case google DivX and
download the DivX players. The AVIs might be
modified DivX AVIs which are compressed and, er,
stuff.

And by the way the frist mov
doesn't work at all - dead link - I really wanted
to see the flying car! I thought that was only
possible in GTA: Vice
City...

Hehe. While they may be out
of the "norm", it still shows people like the
game...

I can see how it looks, but
I can bypass it safe in the knowledge that they
wouldn't do such a thing. It's just not cricket at
the good ol' Future
offices.

Hey Eighthours
you do realise there's only about 5 movies there!
They're just copied and pasted over and over.

The TG.N forum software
is unspeakably sh!t, with a 'repeating' bug that's
been there since God knows when.

yesterday in the grip
of furious anger I wrote:

I retract anything nice or
positive i've ever said about Driv3r. i'm on the
chase mission, after the botched meeting with
the bagman dude. i've begun chasing calita, and
at some random distance i fail the mission, even
though i can still f**king see her! when she
gets overthe bridge and i'm told to find another
route, i turn around and head back, only to fail
the mission because i'm too far away! this game
can just f**k off. i thought it was good, but i
have no idea why i'm chasing all these people
(due to the vaguely bland plot) who seem to
drive perfectly, even making the AI of Gran
Turismo look poor and amateurish.

I
apologise to anyone who had to spend the time
and physical energy to diasgree with my posts
about the goodness of this game. It is a
cankerous floater that deserved to be flushed,
along with all the other turds.

Btw, has
anyone noticed that (with the exception of FSW)
all the uber-hyped, utter shite games have these
"preview dvds" that you get when you pre-order
them (Tomb Raider AOD, True Crime, DRIV3R!!!)

Now i'll go back to Ikaruga, a game
that's impossibly hard because it was designed
that way, rather than Driv3r, which is
impossibly hard because it wasn't designed at
all.

I apologise again. I had
had a bad day, and Driv3r's little annoyances had
gotten to me. It's not that bad, it can actually
be quite fun. It's one of those games that comes
into it's own once you've finished it, where you
know what to do, and it's a matter of making it
look good for the cameras.

Perhaps another
angle on the reviewer bribe thing is that perhaps,
just maybe, some of the reviewers liked it, and
some others
didn't?

Yes, I've been
pretty much saying that since page 18
now.

So the 2 reviewers who just
happen to have the exclusive, are the only 2
reviewers who actually like the game enough to
give it a good score......

Trelliz,

I respect subjective opinion of course.
Critcally here nothing about the condition of the
game is mentioned in either review. Therefore
there is nothing on their impact on gameplay.
There is a nine out of ten review sticker on the
box and some sequential stuff reciprocated in the
booklet and magazine. The wider issues here are
engulfing this title and it serves Atari right for
releasing an unfinished game out to the public and
then trying to choke the
reviews.

Sorry, i
haven't been keeping up on this, one of the
fastest growing topics ever. Perhaps it'll breach
the 100 page mark. Has that ever been done
before?
