Driv3r / Driver 3 (PS2 Xbox PC 2004)

Driver 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­--
Driv3r, more commonly known as Driver 3 (marketed as DRIV3R), is a racing, shooting, and adventure video game. It is the third installment in the popular Driver series and was developed by Reflections Interactive and published by Atari. Driv3r was released in North America for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox on June 21, 2004. In Europe, it was officially released on June 25, although due to the way Atari shipped the title across the continent, it made its way into independent UK retailers before the release date, even making a #6 position in the ELSPA chart for that week. On March 15, 2005, it was released on PC for US customers, it was also released on Game Boy Advance October 25, 2005. A scaled down version was released for the mobile phone in June 2004. At one point a Nintendo GameCube version was planned, but it was later canceled.

Driv3r brings back features from Driver 2 and adds the ability to ride motorcycles and boats, use weapons, swim, climb ladders, and enter certain buildings among other things, as well as controlling more than one character.

The game opens in medias res in Istanbul, Turkey, in a shootout between a gang and the Istanbul police. The scene later shifts to the hospital where it shows Tanner and Jericho injured and the doctors examining one of them, and later shows one of them flatlining.

The game goes back six months before in Miami, where undercover police officer Tanner (voiced by Michael Madsen), along with partner Tobias Jones (voiced by Ving Rhames), infiltrating a crime ring known as South Beach which specializes in stolen vehicles. A ruthless woman named Calita (voiced by Michelle Rodriguez) runs the Crime Ring, and there is a weapons specialist Lomaz, and Bad Hand. Tanner convinces them to give him a shot to work for them. Once he is accepted by the group, Tanner begins conducting various jobs for them, in pursuit of a total of 40 stolen high performance vehicles.

South Beach end up having a falling out with a local crime lord named "The Gator", so Calita sends Tanner on a job to blow up The Gator's Superyacht which is docked by an island south of Miami. The feud with The Gator ends when Tanner shoots him into the sea when Calita sends him and Lomaz to kill The Gator, believing him to be dead afterwards. South Beach then moves their operations to Nice, France, and Tanner relocates as well. However, Interpol agents Henri Vauban and Didier Dubois have their own plans to take down the crime ring and are at odds with Tanner. Tanner decides to work the job his own way, which, in several cases, leads him into direct conflict with the Interpol agents.

In Istanbul, Turkey, Tanner is now working as a rogue agent. However, Tanner and Jones are able to find a number of contacts who lead them to the crime ring and its true leader, Jericho (voiced by Mickey Rourke), a former hitman who betrays and kills Solomon Caine, his former boss. Jericho once appeared at a warehouse while Didier Dubois was using a laptop belonging to Calita, first stunning Tanner, who drops his gun, then confronts Tanner and shoots Dubois.

Later, Dubois' partner Vauban tells Tanner that Dubois is in a body bag and the bullets are his. Tanner then walks away and ends his cooperation with the police force, forcing Tanner to escape to the nearest warehouse. Once it is evident that Tanner has found a way to stop the gang from selling the stolen vehicles, he is brought back onto the force and aids in stopping the sale. Following a car chase between Jericho' and his men and the Turkish Police, Tanner faces him in a final showdown. After the long lasting chase between Tanner and Jericho, Tanner, who gains the upper hand, single handedly takes down Jericho. However, just as Tanner is about to kill him, he walks away. Tanner, not realizing that he is caught off-guard, is crashed by Jericho, who tells Tanner that he has made a "mistake", before shooting him and leaving them both critically injured.

The scene shifts back to the hospital and shows a doctor using a defibrillator on one of them.

This was an amazing game, rich story line, caraters, i love this game, i've been playing it since i was 5.

San Francisco was the bigest dissapointment in 2011 to me -_-

[loookatme123]

@Haddockxyz300 I wanted a continuation of the gritty story line of Driv3r...

Its amazing this game had content like this over 7 years ago. Its sad that today COD gets all the attention and epic games like Driver3 are forgotten. Even most movies dont have a quality story like this. Ubisoft, which acquired the series, is unfortunately going to ruin it- they fail to recognize this story. They ruin the characters, like they turned Jericho into your generic criminal instead of looking bad@ss. If Rockstar or Sony acquired the series theyd turn this gem into a masterpiece.
