Driver '76 - Image 1Driver '76 for the Sony PSP, the newest installment in the Driver series, has shipped to retailers today according to an announcement from video game publisher Ubisoft. The game comes with a MATURE rating and is available for a suggested retail price of US$ 39.99.

This prequel to Driver: Parallel Lines is the first all-new iteration of the famed Driver series to be released since Ubisoft acquired the Driver franchise last year. Developed by Sumo Digital Ltd. and Ubisoft's Reflections studio, the game features Hollywood-style car chases while also letting the player experience the game's 70s-based open world environment on foot.

Driver '76 also comes with quite a few mini-games and multiplayer features. Players can also customize their rides as they roar through the game's 27 all-new missions.

When i discovered that the Driver franchise was gonna grace the beloved handheld, i was anticipating this release with excitement (loved the first, liked the second, hated the third, played the forth).
I just played the first five missions, and so far, i can say that i am impressed.
A nice game, that is definitely worth a decent try, at least.
When pressing the ^ button on the D-pad it enters slow-mo, and shooting from the car is a good addition too, making game-play more interesting at times.
I have yet to discover and try other features such as tuning cars with Nos and finding some motorbikes to rip around on!
The overall graphics are just what can be expected from the hardware (not as clear and defined as GTA, a little more dull & grainy maybe). The size of the game world appears to be fairly large from what i have seen (and have yet to see!).
Voice-overs are okay, not too annoying IMO. Soundtrack fits well. Controls are fine. Strong story-driven missions.
A PSP exclusive and a solid game. A new addition to my collection, and i for one shall be playing this game for a while.

Driver '76 = Thumbs Up! :D
