As a kid I used to go to a friends and he had Driv3r on his Ps2.. I had never heard of it and I had games like GTA vice city but never experienced anything like Driv3r at the time.. I was blown away by the driving physics, gameplay and story.
@@mursaleensaleem1806 Well this was my first Driver experience, so i guess it hit different at the time. I didn't play Driver 1 or 2 until later on when I started collecting PS1 games. Also, GTA Vice City will always have my heart, But the driving mechanics in any GTA game cannot hold a candle to the Driver games that came out around the same time.. It's night and day when it comes to the driving and car mechanics.
@@ProofScopes Yeah, GTA 3 and VCS have incredibly basic handling, still better than some of its clones like Watch dogs or saints row. Only GTA IV is close, but then ofc rockstar stupidly went away from that handling.
@@mursaleensaleem1806 Its not the worst was just pushed out and isnt fully finished. Its more expansive than Driver 1 and 2. Its Atari's fault it wasnt polished out. Parallel Lines are example of how it would run if itnwas fully finished.
Strategy guides! 😂 yes I had the book as well. I had a bunch of guides, even the GTA: SA big book and Tips & Tricks magazines 😂 I really miss those days.
2004 release. this game was definitely ahead of its time. the soundtrack, vehicle development and details from Driver 2. even the story became more cinematic then any other video game. even better then GTA. Driver 2 & 3 felt like The Movie Ronin❤ Absolutely nothing comparable.
11:24 imagine owning the most expensive car in the world and just leaving it in an unsecured lock up. It is kind of funny how this is the easiest car to obtain.
Then 9 years later sold out to the new owner, transported to America, stolen by some guy called Franklin Clinton for a powerful rich man called Devin Weston.
I had quite a bit of fun with this one as an 10 year old. Unfortunately, the house i lived in burned down only about a year after it came out and I never got another copy. I still remember how hyped i was after reading all the cool stuff you'd be able to do in magazines...i can still feel how excited i was when my uncle took me to get it the night it came out. At that age, i was gonna enjoy it no matter what because i loved driver 1 and 2. I was a little dissatisfied with the story mode because i really liked Soloman Kaine and I wanted to see more of Vasquez and how that whole story played out.
@@LJ07EBP yeah it definitely sucked, but almost 20 years later, it is just a chapter in the story of my life and it all fits together somehow. It will always be the exact day my childhood ended at 12 years old.
I only knew about the first car and the hippie van, i miss playing games back before the internet spoiled everything before it even came out. The mystery of what you are going to experience is lacking in gaming now
That bush on the right at 6:43 in Nice? Drive through it slowly to glitch under the map. Want even more fun?? Use the invincibility cheat and drive through it slowly with either the box truck or long nose cab and HOPE you land on your wheels. Then, take aim at the other end of the map and floor it, you get launched... LITERALLY.
Or this one i found when i was a kid, so first you go to a downward slope that cars go down you walk infront of the cars so they stop then jump ontop of their car and boom they slowly fall through the map
When the rich kids had their xbox 360 and gta 5 just came out I was at home on my original Xbox playing this for literal hours on end I think back to it and I wonder what I did for hours and hours all I did was drive around
I think they thought that older cars fit Istabul more, given it also has old american and french cars.(Like chevrolet Impala and Alpine A111) It would be nice if these were available im both Nicea and Miami aswell. Kind of like PC version of Driver 1 did allow you to select from all the playable cars in each city after completion.
I knew where all the secret cars were in Driver2 but i never found any of these in Driver3. My favorite was the clown car. Or am i mixing this up with the getway? Lol i miss my childhood dude
It's crazy after all these years I always remembered where the first vehicle is lol. I want to play so badly but I can't figure out pcsx2 settings for it to properly run :(
Timmy Vermencilli ( I think that's how you spell the last name) There are ten of them around each map and if you kill all of them every NPC in whatever city you are in turns into Timmy Vermencilli! But yes they scared the absolute shit out of me as a child as well!!

I loved this game as a kid. Never played the story, but would drive around for hours exploring, trying to find the hidden cars. The nostalgia is real.
Same here!
Same!
Real
Timmy Vermicelly, huh? Shit... didn't think they ever let him out
He kept his head down, helps people forget
@@mjsdecember1990 people will remember soon enough, when they see him walking down the streets of their neighborhoods... It'll be bad for business.
Lol @@PaoloGiovanoli
What we gonna do sommy?
Man I so wish this game wasn't rushed. It has SO much potential!
The game engine was so far ahead of its time. I wish they had taken the time to refine the on-foot segments and story.
@@mratliffjr0001 Stupid Atari and their scandalous BS. I'm sure the devs _greatly_ appreciated it.
Indeed this game was a ps2 xbox the first game ever with these crazy beautifull grapics ahead of other games in that era
It could've be the biggest and most iconic game in the industry, on par with GTA.
@@Igorock384 exactly but it got fucked over and now its abandoned. actually fucking sad
The transition from driver 2 to driv3r was insane!

I learned a lot of these from a 2 inch thick book. Y'all remember those? It cost like $20 or something
Strategy guides! 😂 yes I had the book as well. I had a bunch of guides, even the GTA: SA big book and Tips & Tricks magazines 😂 I really miss those days.
Damn I feel old lol
@jbiehlable I wouldn't wory. They don't matter anymore
Ironically I still have the book and my system 😢
2004 release. this game was definitely ahead of its time. the soundtrack, vehicle development and details from Driver 2. even the story became more cinematic then any other video game. even better then GTA. Driver 2 & 3 felt like The Movie Ronin❤ Absolutely nothing comparable.
i forgot all about this! there was no cellphones, no youtube back then, just internet forums to find these cars!
Brings back memories!
I miss the vibe in this game, there are some sort of Half Life in it
Good words man very true. Driver 1/2 and I've never played 3 cant believe my childhood missed this out gonna get it
It's been at least 15 years or more since I last played this game and still remember the location of the GT40 looking car and Go-kart.
If you crashed the car en removed the rear hood, it looked Awesome
11:24 imagine owning the most expensive car in the world and just leaving it in an unsecured lock up. It is kind of funny how this is the easiest car to obtain.
The most expensive car now since 2022 is the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, went for €135 million.
@@Snyder9e the mystique of the lost Bugatti is priceless
Then 9 years later sold out to the new owner, transported to America, stolen by some guy called Franklin Clinton for a powerful rich man called Devin Weston.
I love the way the game hitches every time you start getting near a secret vehicle

Better physics, than rockstar has in the 2023 with their GTA five 😂😂😂😂
Exactly! Physics and vehicle damage detail should be the main focus in driving games 🫤
Well, they had the best physics for driving games in gta 4, actually. Casuals just didn't like it so rockstars simplify it a lot
@@jurisberzins5982 yeah, but gta 5 isn't a driving game
@@toastychan0001 what is then?
You spend most of your time driving after all so I think that definition applies somewhat
@@darekkabaja2It’s an action game, with ‘action physics’.
So much fuckin nostalgia this is my whole childhood
My mom bought me this game when I was a kid, the feeling of driving around Miami was great. Didn’t play a single mission lol
That was me in part 2 though lol
The car mass increase thing you could find to send cars flying was my absolute favorite lmao. Good times😢
Loved this game. Spend hours just crashing cars, the damage was so realistic that time
in France Secret car is a Forklift and Hippie Van + Plymoth Prowler.. very not appropriate and Istanbul gets a Bugatti and a Vintage Audi Racer lol
Wow after all these years I missed alot
I KNEW he was gonna do that with the forklift 😂😂
I only knew about the first car and the hippie van, i miss playing games back before the internet spoiled everything before it even came out. The mystery of what you are going to experience is lacking in gaming now
Love the background music of this game, made everything you do feel like a mission
I swear there was an evo hidden in a bush
The last car is similar to the Z-Type in GTA V. Both based off an old buggati.
I remember constantly going to that first house when i was kid.
That bush on the right at 6:43 in Nice? Drive through it slowly to glitch under the map.
Want even more fun?? Use the invincibility cheat and drive through it slowly with either the box truck or long nose cab and HOPE you land on your wheels.
Then, take aim at the other end of the map and floor it, you get launched... LITERALLY.
Or this one i found when i was a kid, so first you go to a downward slope that cars go down you walk infront of the cars so they stop then jump ontop of their car and boom they slowly fall through the map
Bring tear to my eye the memories!!!!!
Underrated game
Other cities than Nice have forklift crisis.
I mean, like there should've been cars available in two or more cities.
When the rich kids had their xbox 360 and gta 5 just came out I was at home on my original Xbox playing this for literal hours on end I think back to it and I wonder what I did for hours and hours all I did was drive around
This is way better than gta 5
this is why GTA4 had to be great
without competition there is no motivation
Good old times.. nearly forgot about it. It was the only open world driver they made, right? 😅
Driver 2 was open world, but you couldn't get out of your car.
@@adrenalinekickyou most definitely could get out of your car in Driver 2.
@@frankieratliff1033 oh yeah you're right. I got it mixed up. Driver 2 was the 1st to let you get out of the car. Driver 3 was the 1st to add gunplay
parallel lines too

This game needs a proper remaster like they did on Mafia !
So easy to overlook this gem when we had GTA and True Crime
احسنت 👏🏻

Same

I always thought most of the secret cars didn't fit quite well, the old cars on Instanbul/muscle car on Nice felt off
It's accurate to the cars they had at the time in Istanbul ('80s). They did have some old Chevys and Fords too, especially the taxis
Thanks for this trip down memorylane
WOW, I have Forgot So Much About This Game, Damn.
I knew where all the secret cars were in Driver2 but i never found any of these in Driver3. My favorite was the clown car. Or am i mixing this up with the getway? Lol i miss my childhood dude
That Bugatti Atlantic 💯
Some of these secret cars could be better... the Plymouth Prowler for example, feels very off for that car to be on Nice
It's sad this game is unfinished
This was the closest thing to gta on the gamecube which is why i played it
Loved this game they need to do another driver like this
They need to do a remaster of this game and take the time to fix all the flaws and it would be perfect
where is new driver :(
It's crazy after all these years I always remembered where the first vehicle is lol. I want to play so badly but I can't figure out pcsx2 settings for it to properly run :(
Creo recordar que la trama no era muy buena. Desconocia lo de los autos secretos. Ahora me dieron ganas de jugarlo otra vez
I hope gta 6 will have some type of secret cars to be found.
im i tripping or as a child there was a scary ass hidden orange character that was hard to kill?
Timmy Vermencilli ( I think that's how you spell the last name) There are ten of them around each map and if you kill all of them every NPC in whatever city you are in turns into Timmy Vermencilli! But yes they scared the absolute shit out of me as a child as well!!
My mistake it's actually Vermicelli
Same, back when i played this as an 8yo i was afraid of exploring the cities too much thanks to him 😆
Man, sending the back end of a muscle car on the way to blow some shit up as a 8 y/o good times, i never found these cars, im gonna go back lol
Man I wish this game was on Steam
This is really an awesome game.

Nostalgia fix
I am told that I would like for you to get secret cars that it easy to get you just have to find
I used to drive around in driver 2 for hours when I was a kid. I never play pt 3 but man this looks like a fake version of Vice City lol
how did you get the game? i cant find anywheres to download it
I used piratebay to get it
Pirate it lmao
Wow, this is interesting 😺
Almost the same as Gta Vice CIty
The driving physics in this game put gta v to shame, and the graphics make gta sa look weak in comparison. A shame it was pretty barren content wise
what is gate control key to press in pc plz tell
The action button is the number 0
Got this game again on the ps2 but th screen resolution is of poo quality
GTA6? 😂😂😂😂
Googl
Gp
Ps3 grapichs
