The story is basically: Tanner goes undercover with the mob to figure out their big plans. He does a bunch of low level stuff, (unknown to the mob) takes out their other driver so he gets the big job, and helps bring in a foreign assassin. By the time Tanner learns what they are really up to (killing the president) it is too late so he has to drive the president to safety himself. The mob has agents that have infiltrated the police and FBI, which is why the chase you in the final mission, and why you don't take your badge back: Tanner is disgusted by how easily the police were corrupted.
If you think the story in this one is bizarre, wait until you play Driver: San Franciso, in which you get into a coma from a car crash, and a majority of the game takes place in your mind, and you can gain control of other cars instantly while driving using coma magic.
Yeah, but that story is actually very well-told and you can understand everything easily. So much so it isn't afraid of delivering its main hook - Tanner's actually in a coma - right at the start. That's writer's confidence, they could've saved it for a cheap plot twist nearer the end. All in all, if I had to say one driving/racing game has ever had a good story - a real good one, not a so-bad-it's-fun romp - it's Driver: San Francisco, hands down.
They don't need to make it as hard. Just get a great, fun physics model and that amazing replay feature where it replays the mission as though it were a movie. The AI for the replays was awesome for the time. Actually it was just awesome. I don't know why more games don't do anything like that.
Fun fact: you can disable the automatic handbrake turn in the options. This will make low speed steering more stable but it will obviously be more prone to understeer so you have to know how to approach corners.
There’s a practice mode for the beginning of story if you search the menus, and you can watch and follow a ghost do it and you. That’s how I figured it out as a kid.
I had to ask my mom what a Slalom was. It was 2006, I didnt have access to the internet. The amount of Dopamine 10 year old me got from completing the tutorial was enough to last me a week.
The tutorial for driver was used as the demo on the discs you used to get back in the day with magazines, it got you interested in the car mechanics which then was something else
I remember my dad bought this for me when i was a kid. I couldnt even beat the dam parking lot tutorial or whatever. I eventually decided to just drive around and follow the traffic rules
I LOL so hard when u mentioned the cup head tutorial level, I always wondered how the guy qualified to be a "journalist" when he couldn't even understand tht the tutorial said hold the A button.
That will forever be hilarious to me and also a lesson as to why i don't trust these so called "gaming journalist" Hell, today's gaming journalism is filled with mediocre, whinny self proclaimed "journos" that it became a parody of what it once was.
I was impressed of how the car handling and generally the behavior of the car. They have make very detailed job. Maybe you not believe it, but sometimes comes in my mind parts of the driving from this game, for example when you make a jump of how the car behaves when you land on the road and moves up and down like it's a low rider car. After so many years still i play mini parts of the game in my mind.
I had a love/hate relationship with this game as a kid. I must've been the only 10 year old that knew what "slalom" meant because I never had a problem with the parking lot opening mission as a kid, but that damn final chase with Definitely Not Richard Nixon must've taken me several hundred tries before I finally beat it, and I was so upset that I never touched the game again after that.
I used to play this a lot circa 1999 - 2000. Really fun game. Oddly enough I never had a problem with the test/tutorial. I went on to beat the game, hard, but it is possible. When done with Undercover mode I spent a lot of time in Take a Ride mode, I was amazed at the detail and size of the cities for PS1.
Oh man that Cuphead joke got me good. Also 03:13 was smooth. Speaking of Driver I'm a huge fan of the first two games, Driver 1 is the reason why I bought a PS1 back in the day and I spent way too much time playing with the video editor feature. But from what I remember (which could be completely wrong) doesn't the game have a separate tutorial mode which can be accessed from the menu? if that's true then it makes a bit more sense why the parking garage level feels so brutal because the game may expect you to finish the actual tutorial mode first.
LOVED this game. LOVED the physics. LOVED the 60's/70's vibes. LOVED that the cops would chase you for speeding and running red lights. LOVED that you couldn't just drive through telephone poles knocking them over like most other games, they would mess your car up. They should really make a new one!
i think the intro is a really good way to start the game in a way, it really sets the tone. and a lot of people confused it for being a tutorial, which didnt help. but because you are already supposed to be this amazing driver, its fully a test of your abilities. i think it is really cool
I had both versions of Driver, but I used to play the hell out of the PC version. It definitely ran smoother, though I don't know that I would say it looked better. The fidelity of the textures was not great and everything was shiny. The most fun part of the PC version was exploiting glitches though the cheat codes. The amount of momentum you could build up would create some absolutely absurd crashes.
Acho que a expressão certa é "pulling my hair up" e sim, descreve perfeitamente a sensação de jogar esse primeiro Driver. Eu joguei ele no PC quando criança, na época que jogos saíam aqui pela Brasoft e Greenlife (lembra do Max Payne traduzido com falas e tudo?) e só vim finalizar o jogo depois de adulto, de tão difícil que era essa porra, mas realmente. Um jogo que definiu o estilo mundo aberto e construiu caráter de muito jogador.
10:50 thanks for the shout out. I remember playing this game in free roam with my older brother, and I remember it looking so realistic that it was unbelievable
There is a corner spot in golden gate park where if you hit it going full speed, you can drive out onto the ocean. I used to make my uncle mad by doing that, he said I couldn't drive on the ocean.
Man I remember getting Driver 1 and 2 in like a duo-pack for Christmas back in the early 2000's. I absolutely HATED the first one because I was a dumb kid and couldn't get past the first few missions lmao But Driver 2 was insanely underrated
I'm 40, this game still sticks in my mind, it was BRUTALLY difficult as a young teenager l, especially that tutorial level...but I eventually completed the whole game... I have never met anyone else in person that has also completed it, I've got SOOO many friends that hate Driver because they gave up at the tutorial level!😅
I loved Driver, I was just a kid when it came out. My dad came home with it one day. We would both play the hell out of this game. I miss it. I was we could get a remaster or remake of this game. That test was a pain in the butt lol.
I loved this game. Me and my friend use to play it for hours everyday. It was so much fun. There is also a cheat called freight train mode where you can just push all other cars out of the way and they would go flying. It was hilarious to see.
Interesting you have a Tekken 3 poster on the wall because in Driver 2, there is a music track (Chicago at Night) that has identical riff to Paul Phoenix's arcade theme.
Cara , eu lembro de jogar isso com meu pai , e simplismente não passava do tutorial pelo fato de não entender inglês (ainda não entendo perfeitamente mas consigo assimilar algumas palavras )
I remember buying this game as a kid. English is not my native language and I was barely starting to learn it by then (In fact the psx helped me inmensely in that regard) and I had not slightest idea of what a SLALOM was, and i had no one to ask to, and had no access to the internet, so i was effectively stuck in that parking lot level for i think a couple of YEARS until i saw someone do a playthrough of this game's tutorial and first mission on a very popular at the time TV show from my country, and only then i was able to get through the tutorial and play the rest of the game ( I didnt get to finish it though)
Finally somebody speaks the truth about the test. As a kid, I had this game and the disc was scratched in a way that I couldn't save. I had to beat that test every time I wanted to play, and every mission afterwards, in a row, every time I played. Could almost always get to the final level, but never managed to beat it.
Was and always will be one of the best in its genre. So many good memories and I’ll add that I got past the tutorial when I was in the 3rd grade and got all the way to New York until it started really getting difficult so to older folks who couldn’t figure out, maybe your just not a true DRIVER. Games need to be this difficult again or at least have the option to be. Also Driver 2 doesn’t have the magic that this one has by a land slide but that’s my own personal opinion. Good stuff!!!
This is the first 3D rendered Open sandbox game ever ... The long running statement that GTA 3 innovated it first is completely non factual. Driver came out Two years beforehand and Driver 2 came out in 2000. GTA 3 came out in 2001.
One of the best PS games. The glitches were fun as well. Try and get a cop car to lay on its side and then slowly drive into its sirens and it would catapult the cars high into the air, if you landed on your wheels you could often drive outside the map.
Dude, if you ever decide to play Driver 2 one day, you have my blessings because it is even more brutal, but I love the aesthetic of that game, the driver trilogy is one of my favorite games of all time, great vid!
Driver 2 is a bit less luck based, but it is indeed brutal! It is slightly easier if you know the trick to the destroy car missions: most of them have the chase car follow a preset path and have damage that is touch based. Instead of ramming the car hard, get along side and gentally rub against them and the damage bar will fill quite fast. Also when you get close to the other car, the game slows you down, so you want to pull alongside them from a couple lanes away.
The only time that struggling with a tutorial is a common thing Driver it's an amazing driving game saga and Driver San Francisco it's completely unique, so sad that it never came back
Finally got around to watching this. I saw that Cuphead joke coming, but your delivery of it combined with your avatar’s expression left me in hysterics! Great review, you always seem to have a balanced take, which I enjoy. Also, it’s kinda mind blowing that games this big were on the PS1
I recently played this for the first time too and had a ton of fun with it, despite it's frustratingly difficult missions. I honestly gave up on the last level because it was so hard. I also did not understand the story a lick, very confusing.
Easiest way to do the parking garage is Burnout, Speed, Reverse 180. You don't need to do it slow "You reverse fast Tap the brake.. Steer hard right so it swings out and Accelerate immediately, Follow it up with a 180 and then a 360, Slalom through the poles then run the Lap" Done. I finished this on an emulator on my phone with touch controls.
Such a great game. I played it when it came out and saved so many videos to the Director editor. I wish I still had a PS1 to toss in the memory card and watch them again. I really want to play the sequels, especially the one in NY 1970's and 2000's.
The PC port wasn't an exact 1:1 port. At some point in development the teams working on both versions got split up, so the PC version ended up being pretty different to the PSX version. It does feature more cars (namely utility vehicles which the PSX only saw in Driver 2) and the maps look different (layout is the same tho).
Absolute classic. I think the "Tutorial" is my favourite - it was hard back in the day and brutal but it made you learn how to drive and set you up for the difficulty ahead, if you couldn't pass that, then you'd fail a lot of the missions which you would anyway. The driving mechanics and physics hold up today, the only game that comes close today is Wreckfest.
The only one i've played is driv3r for gba and it's an 3d open world gta style game on an gba That is mindblowing but the game inself is actually pretty good for gba . I've played a bit of the pc version , but just exploring the open world but not the story
I'd love to see another driving game like the first Driver with proper Wheel support. No on foot gameplay, only driving; no magical switching between cars like in Driver San Francisco (eventhough i enjoyed that mechanic)
I know Driver is brilliant and I just bloody wished they would completely remaster the very first driver game with absolutely nothing changed except the graphics that is all
Foi o primeiro jogo que tive no ps1 marcou de mais a minha infância jogava muito com os meus pais mas nunca zerei pq n tinha memory card só dps de adolescente fui zerar num emulador mas acho q mesmo com memory card naquela época eu n iria conseguir zerar ja q a última missão é simplesmente insana kkkk
yo eu comentei num outro video seu recentemente e n sei se vai ver esse comentário mas...OBRIGADO kkkkk sabe, a alguns anos atras eu tentei começar um canal no yt tambem, eu aprendi edição, desenhei sprites animadas pro meu avatar similar ao q vc esta usando agora e sempre pensei em fazer um molde MUITO parecido com o seu de video, só que em ptbr! com os msm tipos de jogos ESPECIALMENTE jogos obscuros do ps1, sempre sonhei q minha primeira review seria do shadow tower pra ps1 :V talvez eu volte a tentar isso um dia, por enquanto tenho outros planos e deixei de lado a ideia do canal, mas eu agradeço por mostrar q é possível fazer um conteudo bom falando desses jogos, com uma perspectiva mais... "casual" mais de boas ,mais... tranquila digamos assim, msm falando de jogos q "ngm quase lembra". esse foi o melhor canal q encontrei esse ano ate agora de longe, e eu com ctz vou estar acompanhando tudo daqui pra frente, excelente conteúdo, fico mto feliz de ver um colega br se saindo tao bem nesse molde q sempre vi gringos fazendo, bom trabalho e ah video exclente, a sua edição e estrutura de como monta a review é incrivel, eu adoro mesmo
Not sure if you've heard of Metal Arms: Glitch in the System for ps2 but it was one of the few games I remeber playing back when I was a kid. Highly recommended 👌

I wouldn't refer to the garage level as a "tutorial," but more of an "entry exam."
Exactly, my kid brain didn't even know what the word slalom was.
good point
Yeah, there is an actual tutorial under "training." Basically the same thing, but with a how-to video first and ghost car to follow.
Yeah lmao, more like a gang initiation
License test?

which i thought was insanely cool at the time but everyone wanted gta 4. just wrong time for that game to come out
Ah, the Dark Souls of driving game. The parking lot tutorial and the police AI is brutal.
TRUE
*laughs in F-Zero X*
@@misterjersey5460 Nah, F-Zero GX is harder.
That title belongs to Dirt Rally 2.0
@@Omarock You really need to play F-Zero GX then because that game will break you. It's RUTHLESS!
Legit no idea why no new developers still do this kind of driving focused action game
yeah it would definitely be cool to see!
Cuz *SOMBODY SAY HEYYYYYYYYY WE WANT SOME MONEYYYYYYYYYYY*
Did you not watch the video? people think this game is too hard... just imagine.
Make this same type of game that's not incredibly difficult and requirements to advance in.
They don't need to make it as hard. Just get a great, fun physics model and that amazing replay feature where it replays the mission as though it were a movie. The AI for the replays was awesome for the time. Actually it was just awesome. I don't know why more games don't do anything like that.
For some reason i feel so much nostalgia watching ur videos , even if i didn't played all the games . Just the early 2000's vibe hits me hard
I'm really glad to hear! that's the idea haha
i had to look up the word "slalom" in the family dictionary (pre-internet days, so we used books) just to figure out how to finish the tutorial.
The game manual tells you
I remember when the demo came out for the PC I was blown away! You could drive through fences in backyards and destroy shit, it was so fun.
The only car game I've played that let's you use blinkers. Unless it's a BMW.
Fun fact: you can disable the automatic handbrake turn in the options. This will make low speed steering more stable but it will obviously be more prone to understeer so you have to know how to approach corners.
There’s a practice mode for the beginning of story if you search the menus, and you can watch and follow a ghost do it and you. That’s how I figured it out as a kid.
I had to ask my mom what a Slalom was. It was 2006, I didnt have access to the internet. The amount of Dopamine 10 year old me got from completing the tutorial was enough to last me a week.
The driver game was ahead of its time back then
A whole bunch of repressed rage was unlocked at the sight of that garage.
LOL exactly
The tutorial for driver was used as the demo on the discs you used to get back in the day with magazines, it got you interested in the car mechanics which then was something else
I remember my dad bought this for me when i was a kid. I couldnt even beat the dam parking lot tutorial or whatever. I eventually decided to just drive around and follow the traffic rules

Hell, today's gaming journalism is filled with mediocre, whinny self proclaimed "journos" that it became a parody of what it once was.
You should totally do Driver Parallel lines next, it was my favorite game as a kid
The garage tutorial wasn't that hard for me even back then, but the last mission President Run.. whoever thought of that level is a psychopath.
I was impressed of how the car handling and generally the behavior of the car. They have make very detailed job. Maybe you not believe it, but sometimes comes in my mind parts of the driving from this game, for example when you make a jump of how the car behaves when you land on the road and moves up and down like it's a low rider car.

"Hey man, watch the paint" is forever etched into my memory.
10:16 the game even uses the crash sound effects from that movie
Also by the way; the story, the game has different paths so there are multiple endings to the game
this game was too hard for me to finish but im still disappointed nobody makes driving games that arent entirely about racing nowadays
Oh man I just finished the game yesterday, I enjoy the driving physics in this series so much
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one having trouble with the parking lot beginning mission.
definitely not!
Last mission: *Nice driving, son!*
*Get's hit by the police and flies for 10 miles*
Nice driving, son!
I had a love/hate relationship with this game as a kid. I must've been the only 10 year old that knew what "slalom" meant because I never had a problem with the parking lot opening mission as a kid, but that damn final chase with Definitely Not Richard Nixon must've taken me several hundred tries before I finally beat it, and I was so upset that I never touched the game again after that.
LOL that's very understandable
I used to play this a lot circa 1999 - 2000. Really fun game. Oddly enough I never had a problem with the test/tutorial. I went on to beat the game, hard, but it is possible. When done with Undercover mode I spent a lot of time in Take a Ride mode, I was amazed at the detail and size of the cities for PS1.
This Game have better driving and Damage physics than most games today.
Happy to say I completed Driver and Driver 2 back in the day, great games and memories.
Oh man that Cuphead joke got me good. Also 03:13 was smooth.

If there is, I didn't notice it; there were some different modes but not a tutorial from what I remember... that would be VERY helpful to begin with
UPDATE, YOU'RE RIGHT!
i always thought that in the final mission the mob figured out you were a rat and the cops thought you were kidnapping the president
LOVED this game. LOVED the physics. LOVED the 60's/70's vibes. LOVED that the cops would chase you for speeding and running red lights. LOVED that you couldn't just drive through telephone poles knocking them over like most other games, they would mess your car up. They should really make a new one!

I feel you! It was one of those "games can't get more realistic than this" lol
I was one of those who rented Driver 1 at Blockbuster and never passed the tutorial. I do remember having a great time playing Driver 2.
STILL gotta make a video on that
There is a corner spot in golden gate park where if you hit it going full speed, you can drive out onto the ocean. I used to make my uncle mad by doing that, he said I couldn't drive on the ocean.
The first time i played Driver i was like 6 years old, and when i finally beat it i was 23
I feel you.
I had fun playing driver recently and my most watched videos are about driver tbh, it still holds
Nas locadoras era simplesmente conhecido como “aquele da garagem”
"driver" era longo demais
I usually played with family members, talking turns until we beat them. Beat all the console drivers, it's a shame the franchise is gone now.
Some of the best times were just driving around randomly running from cops in Chicago on Driver 2.
(always easy loosing them on the highway)
Man I remember getting Driver 1 and 2 in like a duo-pack for Christmas back in the early 2000's. I absolutely HATED the first one because I was a dumb kid and couldn't get past the first few missions lmao But Driver 2 was insanely underrated

The Reverse 180 is always the one I couldn't get to register.. I would do it, but the game was like "nah that was a 175"

Some difficulties never let you be.
3:24 ah yes. That damned arrow. I kept following it because I thought the ‘N’ meant ‘New Mission’ lol
even midway through the game I followed it by mistake sometimes lol
Was and always will be one of the best in its genre. So many good memories and I’ll add that I got past the tutorial when I was in the 3rd grade and got all the way to New York until it started really getting difficult so to older folks who couldn’t figure out, maybe your just not a true DRIVER.

I’d really recommend The Driver from 1978. Great car chases!

I had to beat the tutorial and the presidents run for all my friends.
This clone behavior with children's cartoons are so fucked up.
Oh...driver...the game I couldn't beat 😅
lots of pain and blood to beat this one
@@BlooTeg don't get me started on the last mission lol
Played the shit out of driver 76 and parallel lines , good stuff man
The PC port wasn't an exact 1:1 port. At some point in development the teams working on both versions got split up, so the PC version ended up being pretty different to the PSX version. It does feature more cars (namely utility vehicles which the PSX only saw in Driver 2) and the maps look different (layout is the same tho).
Absolute classic. I think the "Tutorial" is my favourite - it was hard back in the day and brutal but it made you learn how to drive and set you up for the difficulty ahead, if you couldn't pass that, then you'd fail a lot of the missions which you would anyway. The driving mechanics and physics hold up today, the only game that comes close today is Wreckfest.
one of the most underrated channels out there
aw thank you!
I remember that level, took us a while to get it done, my brother and i, well it was because we didn’t speak any English lol
The only one i've played is driv3r for gba and it's an 3d open world gta style game on an gba
That is mindblowing but the game inself is actually pretty good for gba .
I've played a bit of the pc version , but just exploring the open world but not the story
A classic! Could never beat the final mission of the game and it took hours to finish the tutorial. 😂
I just figured out that I've been playing micromouse all along 😅
I'd love to see another driving game like the first Driver with proper Wheel support. No on foot gameplay, only driving; no magical switching between cars like in Driver San Francisco (eventhough i enjoyed that mechanic)
I'm so used to driving that when a played driver for tye first time i finnished the tutorial first try lol
drivers who drive a lot can drive around in driver just fine
driver cheat codes for invincibility
I played the PS1 version a few times at my cousins' hous but I played the Gameboy Color version a lot more.
I know Driver is brilliant and I just bloody wished they would completely remaster the very first driver game with absolutely nothing changed except the graphics that is all
One of my all time favorite games
the Lap was unbeatable for me in 1999
I never knew as a kid what a slalom was so I never beat the tutorial XD
seems like the problems most people had lmao
Foi o primeiro jogo que tive no ps1 marcou de mais a minha infância jogava muito com os meus pais mas nunca zerei pq n tinha memory card só dps de adolescente fui zerar num emulador mas acho q mesmo com memory card naquela época eu n iria conseguir zerar ja q a última missão é simplesmente insana kkkk
I'm stuck for months in the suitcase mission in SF. This game is brutal, but very fun!
REALLY wanna play that one!
yo eu comentei num outro video seu recentemente e n sei se vai ver esse comentário mas...OBRIGADO kkkkk
sabe, a alguns anos atras eu tentei começar um canal no yt tambem, eu aprendi edição, desenhei sprites animadas pro meu avatar similar ao q vc esta usando agora e sempre pensei em fazer um molde MUITO parecido com o seu de video, só que em ptbr!
com os msm tipos de jogos ESPECIALMENTE jogos obscuros do ps1, sempre sonhei q minha primeira review seria do shadow tower pra ps1 :V
talvez eu volte a tentar isso um dia, por enquanto tenho outros planos e deixei de lado a ideia do canal, mas eu agradeço por mostrar q é possível fazer um conteudo bom falando desses jogos, com uma perspectiva mais... "casual" mais de boas ,mais... tranquila digamos assim, msm falando de jogos q "ngm quase lembra".
esse foi o melhor canal q encontrei esse ano ate agora de longe, e eu com ctz vou estar acompanhando tudo daqui pra frente, excelente conteúdo, fico mto feliz de ver um colega br se saindo tao bem nesse molde q sempre vi gringos fazendo, bom trabalho
e ah video exclente, a sua edição e estrutura de como monta a review é incrivel, eu adoro mesmo
muito obrigado! aconselho fortemente, faz muita falta um conteudo do tipo no youtube BR!
Not sure if you've heard of Metal Arms: Glitch in the System for ps2 but it was one of the few games I remeber playing back when I was a kid. Highly recommended 👌
I don't think I know that one, I'll check it out!
