The best feature of the game, by far, is the original script, story line, and depth the game goes into for the London Underworld and how easily it sweeps you into the whole genre.
-
Brutal, and urgently in your face, the game aims and scores often enough to recommend it highly.

Switch on those subtitles (the cockney accents make English sound like a bloody foreign language) or else you'll potentially miss out on some of the finest dialogue in a video game. Our favorite line: "She's had more pricks than a second-hand dartboard." Oi!
-
Fun as this game is to play, the best moments come when you just sit back and observe. Wonderfully acted, written, and directed motion-capture cut scenes play like the Snatch follow-up Guy Ritchie should have made, further evidence of the narrowing gap between video game and movie production values.

PSM MagazineIt's a snack, not a meal, but it's definitely a tasty one. [Feb 2005, p.78]

The characters are hit and miss (especially the cop) and some of the gameplay is rather plain and leaves much more to be desired. I would love to see this game on the next generation Sony system though.
-
It honestly has more of the feel that the original "Driver" gave on the Playstation, and that's a good thing. However, it isn't enough of an improvement to truly recommend this title as anything other than a rental or budget purchase.

Jan 28, 2023QoL changes, the story is more hit-or-miss and less memorable but boasts fun characters and a wicked and unique soundtrack.
