Driv3r heading to GBA

Driver 3, or Driv3r as the hip young cats are calling it, was a bit of a debacle. The scandal over
reviews being biased so exclusives could be claimed. The mediocre
quality of the game. In short, it was a bit of a dogs breakfast.
Not content to leave a rotting lemon where it lay, Infograme… Sorry, Atari, are now seeing fit to release Driv3r for
the dear old Gameboy Advance. Needless to say, hardcore 3D graphics are not on the menu. The game could work well,
though. Hope the put the multiplayer modes in. Could be fun.
You can check the official site, if you're really
bored, though a cursory glance reveals no GBA content.

"Needless to say, hardcore 3D graphics are not on the menu."
Actually, they are.

It's actually looking quite impressive for a GBA game.

It sucks when a franchise has a great game on the GBA, but a crapass game on other platforms and the GBA game suffers such guilt by association. I don't know if Driv3r will be bad on the GBA, but I'd recommend everyone judge it on its own merits, rather than related to its console cousin.
I've been annoyed by this happening since I played the Daikatana GB game. It might have been GBA, I'm not sure... might have just been GB Color from what I remember of the graphics. Daikatana for the PC and consoles was a laughable debacle. But the GB game was good! Really good! I liked it a lot... now you may be saying you never heard of a Daikatana for GB. You'd be right. It was never released. Because of all the bad juju associated with the other Daikatana products, they never released it. Luckily the cart got dumped and the rom made its way online, so I got to give it a whirl. On its own, it was a very solid and very fun game.
