Driver 2 was way better.

Sweet. They should have stopped after they made this one. Time to put on my grunge flannel.

I just hope I can pass the driving test again at the beginning :P

Other than that, I remember this as pure fun and awesomeness. Hope it holds up considering GTA and the like.

Most frustrating part was the stupid driving test. Pursuit mode was fun.

Ah, the ubiquitous "training mode" that was the bane of so many PS1 games. In my day, we had to read the game manual.

Haha, the driving test did suck. There was always one or two of the things I couldn't quite nail.

I remember playing the first Driver and thinking how revolutionary it seemed to be at the time.

What was the mode where you ran from the cops and it timed you? That was one of my favorite little modes.

Seconded, Driver 2 rocked my socks it was the original GTA (IMO) I personally loved searching for the secret cars you had to find in certain areas just to wreck them in police chases, HELLA FUN, hope they bring D2 to PSN soon.

It's likely going to be $6 since that's the standard price for PS1 games on PSN. It's not an awesome price, but it's not as bad as paying $10 for N64 games or $8 for SNES games.

Zing!

That, space, and the fact that you can only add increments of 500 points at a time... are the reasons why I don't buy more VC games.

Its starting to look more and more like sony is getting rid of backward compatibility so they can resell ps and ps2 games back to everyone. Fun game though.

These are just disk images of PS1 games. They're not recoded or even recompiled for the PS3.

All PS3s are backwards compatible with PS1 games. It is extremely unlikely that any hypothetical downloadable PS2 games will run on a non-PS2-backwards-compatible PS3.

Oh my gosh, I loved this game, and the sequel even more. The cars felt so 70s Hollywood. It was so cool. Though, I don't think you could leave your car in this game, that was sequel. I remember spending ages in the director mode; the cops were a beast in this game.

I've still got the first two games somewhere. I have got to find a PS1 to play them.

Oh yeah, I forgot the PS2 could play PS1 games.

One of these days I need to buy a PS2.

Ah, memories.

Sometime in '98 or perhaps early '99, back before I had internet access and was able to keep on top of everything, I had no idea what the hell a Playstation was. Then my best friend/neighbor brought over his system and Driver and introduced me to something strangely compelling.

I never did make it far in Driver and I didn't develop an affinity for many PS1 titles, but it was a step forward for me.

The lack of curved roads will seem odd, had to wait for Driver 2 for that tech innovation, but the 70's vibe in this is still classic.

Great pimp-mobile music. Bow-chaka-wow, Bow-chaka-wow, bom-chaka. And so on.

Ah I loved this game, though Driver 2 was way better. I lost countless hours to that game's rather powerful replay engine. I even had Driver on my GameBoy Color, man that game had some strict police!

Sony needs to work on their naming conventions. "Hardware" and now "Driver." What's next? "Person?" "Title?" "Walk?" "Psychonauts?"
