Does the XBOX version allow

No idea, but does include
1001 bugs and glitches – at no extra cost to the
consumer

RRP: £44.99.

The
bugs cost you an extra fiver, I'm afraid.

That Xbox World 'voucher' has
probably boosted the price.

I've just read
the first page of this thread including the long
quote made by Steve from another forum and the
fact that Driv3r is getting such review scores and
selling at £44.99 RRP is just plain silly. I
haven't played the game but I actually want to now
to see for myself how bad it really is.

I agree with Eighthours in saying that
PS2 owners in general accept crappy games, hence
Gamespots higher reader ratings for the PS2
version.

After trading in RSC2 and an
Xbox MicroCon for a total of £33 anyway, then
using a £2.00 credit note.

I didn't really
like RalliSport Challenge 2, it was too
arcadey.

If you're a
committed people watcher try checking out the
atari official Driver 3 forum. It's like an
enormous pile up on the M1. Only with less dead
people.

I'd just like
to point out that IGNs' review means jack sh*t.
After all, they gave True w***: Streets Of w***
(Clever, ey?) 9.0. They deserve to die.

I've not played Driv3r yet, cuz it's not
arrived yet.

Having just
bought and finished true crime, I can honestly say
that it's one of the most painful experiences I've
ever had. And not in a good
way.

The Atari forums are full of
deluded fanboys. Have a look and read some of
their amusingly retarded comments!!

Even so, GameSpot have always
been a reliable review source in the past and
agreed with everything IGN posted.

However, True Crime was sorely
disappointing.

Perhaps the PS2 version is
better than the xbox counterpart. I dont see why
PS2 gamers would be more willing to accept an
unplayable game than Xbox gamers.

And yes,
I know that IGN scored the Xbox version 0.1 point
higher, but lets face it, rather than waste
another 30 hours playing the same thing again,
they probably just shoved the PS2 disc in &
said "Shorter draw distance, knock it down a bit".

I'm more than prepared to be wrong on
this, but it seems odd that a large percentage of
people are ripping the game to shreds, whilst a
few people see it as the best thing since sliced
GTA.

I can't really
comment on how the PS2 version physically handles
since I've not played it, only sat next to someone
playing it for a period of time. However, after
comparing the two purely as a visual analysis, I'm
fairly certain the differences are minimal -
glitches and all.

Shorter load times, less
aliasing, a bit less slowdown. That's it.
Otherwise the versions are practically
identical.
