i don't get Nintendo at all lol they have soo much money and there consoles have great designs but they put crap graphics cards in!? i mean i have a PSP & PS3 and some Nintendo products but why did they keep the shitty GBA Graphics card all the way through? if they made it like the PS2 or PS1 or even the N64 graphics they would be unstoppable! lol it would be soo cool seeing a GBA SP with anolog sticks and with multiplayer playing COD lol
Driver 3 for the GBA would have been awesome if it weren't for 2 major problems: It feels like you're driving on ice, and the cops don't do jack shit.
@spunkflunk in theory, it's actually 2D. I'm a programmer for these kind of "illusionary" 3D game engines, it's quite mathematical what they do to make this false effect.
Driver 2 has the better gameplay if you can look past the graphics. Driv3r is better approached as a graphics demo. It shows what the GBA can do, but lacks focus.
I had these on my GBA SP.. they were both awesome. I know the graphics were ugly, but for Christ sake they were GAMEBOY games.. what do you expect? Crysis graphics?
The console versions of Driver 2 and DRIV3R were great too.
Actually this game is graphically rather impressive considering the GBA runs on a 16 MHz ARM7 with cart sizes maxing at 32mb. The GBA clock speed is around half the original playstation. This compared to the ARM9 66 MHz and ARM7 33 MHz and a max 256mb cart size on the DS.
@syntax1981 yes, the weirdest thing of all is that the game takes 8mb from 32mb which was the max, they could have added some voice acting, music and other things.
2 is better than 3 on gba in my opinion 3 kind of pissed me off , no cop chases , glitchy and curvy graphics , and when the car hits the water it explodes , makes no sense , cars takes no damage including yours , and if you run into anything including cars , you fly back , and there is no debris , I like 2
mybiggest concern is the shitty draw life on D3.... had i known d2's was better I would have picked that up instead... d2 is just cleaner... the graphics may not be as good... but buildings don't pop out of nowhere... you can see entirely to the end of a street
Well its not real 3D...Its pretty amazing for GBA and look at Quake...it got same thing when is about animated models,they are 3D but no bone animation added like in first game that had and thats Half Life...
driver 2 was awful i had it. everything was fucking pixels and square, driving was hopeless, anything gave you a wanted level, and there were about 4 types of car.
the PS1 one really sucked i mean if the police see you in the game without you commiting any crime they fucking chasing you which is really annoying...
i don,t know what the hell ,m doing in driver 3 on the gba,what ,m actualy doing is just dring around the city for a while and enjoy those 3d graphics on the gba untill a fall into the water!!!!!
I love how the car bounces off everything like it's a pinball bumper. Seriously, Driver3's graphics look amazing, but driver2's gameplay and physics and camera look more functional.
The DS may not possess as smooth visuals as the PSP but it can handle true 3D very well, it could handle something like this with atleast N64-like graphics, which would be a huge improvement.
While not gorgeous, they are very functional. GBA 3D is often glitchy, which is shown here. It's not even polygon 3D, you can tell the cars are sprites. Driver would look very well with actual polygon 3D on DS.
Though, as far as Nintendo handheld streeters go, I'd place my money on Carbon for DS. It has motion blur, the now standard slow down time feature, a team mate, damn good graphics for a DS game, especially the showcase, not to mention it's the only DS streeter I've played that doesn't have awkward physics, it feels like console.
the 2 and 3 is very good . gba games is my favorite !
