Two things that I need to get out of the way: one is that
these are games that I have played. I

I remember playing this game as a little kid. You are the wheelman, the mysterious
undercover cop trying to chase down the evil Jericho. That first level in the parking garage was a
pain in the you-know-what! I just hated

I had never played before at the time. It
was the first real open world driving game for me. Sure it had limitations, and the cars could
be destroyed by just pushing another car, but it was fun!
Driver 2 was fun to get out of cars, and Driv3r was fun, yet
