Driver (series): Difference between revisions

{{work}}

Take the 3D open-world gameplay of ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'', put the player in the role of the police, set it in a [[The Seventies|'70s-esque]] [[Retro Universe]], and beat [[Rockstar Games]] [[Older Than They Think|to the punch by two years]], and you have ''Driver: You Are the Wheelman''. In ''Driver'', you play as Tanner, an [[New York City Cops|NYPD detective]] who, due to [[Badass Driver|his driving skills]], is sent undercover to investigate a criminal syndicate, taking him on a journey to [[Miami]], [[San Francisco]], [[Los Angeles]] and back to [[Big Applesauce|New York]]. The game was styled after '60s and '70s car chase films like ''[[Bullitt]]'', ''[[The French Connection]]'' and ''The Driver'', to the point of including a "Director's Mode" that allows you to place cameras during replays to follow your action.

 

* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: In ''San Francisco'', Tanner keeps seeing black billboards with strange messages. When Tanner points them out to Jones, he doesn't seem too fazed by it, at one point telling Tanner the billboards have "been up for years."

* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]: From ''Parallel Lines'' onward.
