Go into the Challenges and Online

quite nicely.

Martin
Edmundson let slip the inspiration behind one of
the bugs in an early interview....

Quote:

UGO: If you could have a
superpower, what would it be and why?

ME: Oh, superpower. I was thinking about
countries. Well, that's an easy one. Surely just
to be able to fly. Because I think it would just
give you the ability to see so much. You know
the footage from inside jets and so on. Being
able to be like Superman, so stand on the edge
of a cliff and just go whoosh. I'd rather do
that then have the arms like Elastic Man. It
think it would be a lot more useful to
fly.

Does this explain "the
flying car"??

I stand
corrected (said the man in orthopaedic shoes),
that topic is HUUUGE. Anywho, with Driv3r, time
will tell. Sooner or later, time will
tell...

Linky? I cannee find it.

Sorry I'm being dumb. Just trying to
register for their forums but it doesn't seem to
be working.

I would link it but it doesn't
work, so click forums, click 'Main Index', click
'General gaming' & then scroll
down.

I work for a UK games
magazine wrote:

The culprit right now is Atari
with DRIV3R, with reports coming in today of
demands for at least 9/10 score in exchange for
early review code. Although the build with
magazines at the moment is described as being
“…two or three weeks away from being final,” it
has not lived up to expectations with certain
press contacts. However, in order to obtain the
code, a score of nine has been demanded by
Atari’s PR team.

Other culprits of late
include Sonic Heroes, which Sega’s European PR
office demanded scores of at least 8/10 in
exchange for code, a shoddy state of affairs
indeed. As you may remember, all early scores
were 8/10 for Sonic. Strange huh?

Tomb
Raider was another game for which it was
demanded that a certain score must be granted
before review coverage was agreed. Impressively,
10/10 was the requested score, though as you
know, various editors bartered this down.

Another is Devil May Cry II, for which
Capcom demanded 8/10 for the exclusive. Turok
Evolution also came pre-decorated with an eight
score.

Oh dear...

I picked the
game up on my way home tonight as after all this i
want to try it for myself.

Had a quick 15
minutes on it and so far it's better than i
expected. No bugs so far (been playing free drive
and driving games not the mission mode).

The pop up is pretty bad and there's some
tearing in the graphics now and then but these are
both forgivable (just) so far. The gameplay seems
fine so far, no problems getting in and out of
cars and no sign of any glitches or bugs yet.

I'll play it properly tonight and report
back my opinions later.

In the meantime
can i just say to anyone with the XBOX version who
has live - you HAVE to see this clip..

Sign into live, then press right to see
the list of "top director" clips people have
uploaded, select one by a guy called "KASPO"
uploaded on 25/06/04 at 14:23 - it's so funny..
Tanner perving over a bikini chick.. very funny
stuff.. especially the part about half way where
he's doing something dodgy behind a tree then
seems to leave a suspect white stain on it..

Well, I have
just rented and played this game for about an hour
now. I've had a free drive around the city for a
good while to get used to the controls, and
completed the first couple of missions.

I'll withhold full judgement on the
gameplay for the moment. But to be completely
fair, I would have to say that I've found the game
reasonably enjoyable so far.

But, what I can
say straight off the bat is that I can not for the
life of me understand why, in my copy of Xbox
World, they summarise the graphics at the end of
their review with the words "Stunning cars and
cities. Just Stunning - 9".

The graphics
are noticably poor from the very moment you start
playing the game. How anybody could claim to sort
out that mess in a few weeks is beyond
me.
