(Haven't watched the trailer yet) I'm unsure about playing it. Ubisoft implementing a harsh DRM. :(

But if it would be as good as Dirt 3 then I may re-consider. :think: :P

I'm still waiting to get my dirt 3 from AMD. They ripped me off and lied. I bought a radeon hd 6670 to get the free dirt 3 but guess what? AMD lied, lol. I followed the instructions and filled out their form, even sent them a pic of the box and the game code as they requested and still they never even replied.

What a bunch of liars. :frusty:

LOL. Download it from torrents, complete the single player mode, meantime your copy will arrive. :)

I'm on very final stage of Dirt 3, and it's excellent, except repetition of tracks at middle.

never! I want my original game that AMD promised to give me. :lol: Atleast when nvidia promised me company of heroes they upheld their end of the bargain. ^_^

If those bastards don't send me my original dirt3 key soon my next card will be nvidia and every other card I buy from now on. I won't tolerate their lies.

I decided yesterday to download the game and actually see it for myself ...

Wow, to my big surprise this game is okay, cool and funny, fast loading and action , story is interesting, not bad overall, not bad at all ... ^_^

Guess I picked the wrong youtube review , actual game differs a lot from that demo in the first post.

Yep indeed :D

The more I play it the more I like it , can't believe how good they made the game, it's ultra fast and smooth with some very interesting concepts.

I'm currently at Chapter 2 , this game is really somethin' somethin' ^_^

Even i feel that Driver SF isnt up to the mark.. Especially the graphics look outdated (with everything maxed out!!)

The best racing game released recently should be NFS Hot Pursuit.. :rolleyes:

(Love the Turbos n Emps!)

Ah sweet memories.

ANW, if scene or p2p doesn't release a proper, fully working crack for Trackmania 2 Canyon soon, I'm gonna download Driver San Francisco (considering there's a fix available).

Playing the game right now. Played about 2 hours and it gets my thumbs up. First of all, unique. Quite light on my GPU. Confusing at start, but good story. Exciting gameplay. Easy (just shouldn't get too harder). Overall a very very nice game. Lets see if it remains so when I progress further. :)

My pc is already intel and nvidia. I bought those amd parts for another system. I contacted the support at amd4u.com and they eventually sent me my key. Turns out that the reason for the delay was because they accidentally leaked 3 million keys, ROFL.

So I have my legitimate key and I went and acquired the leaked keys and shared some for my friends. :sneaky:

I know I was a bit harsh towards AMD in my initial post though. :(

Oh that. I totally forgot about it. You know what, I heard that AMD were not going to ban those keys either. :)

Finished too. :)

Let me write a small review.

Fun & addictive.

Pros: The game is good. The graphics are good, not great, but good. One of the only game I was able to run at 1400x900 at 60FPS. Has good story. The shift feature makes this game extremely unique, never has a driving game implemented something like this, all the cars on the road are yours. The number of cars, I cannot count them, except Fararris and Bugatti, there isn't single famous car that hasn't made the game. Delorean, original Beetel to Pagani Zonda and McLaren's latest car. From mini-cars, vans, buses, super-cars to firebrigates, Police cars, this game has it all, can be all can be driven.

Cons: The handling sucks. The cars oversteer everytime, made me loose races many times just because of this problem. The only game I felt had similar handling is Test Drive Unlimited 2 (just search Atari forums about how badly the cars handled in TDU2). At first I thought it was only with cars having higher "drift" points, but no, I drove Lambo for later rest of the races and inspite of having higher drift rating, it turned and cornered totally fine without oversteering.

The game offers no way to change / configure the handling. This increases the controlling problem.

The graphics and many other things reminded me of Midtown Madness 2, mind you, loved that game, but was released 11 years ago, so the devs should have implemented better modern day graphics and features.

Overall the game is very nice. 8.5 out of 10. It's a must play game. But not great and it's own problem. I recommend it to every racing games lover as this game implements unique shift mode and a different story.
