Graphics and Sound
The graphics and sound of Driver San Francisco are what you’d expect from a current-gen game, with authentically modelled cars and a finely detailed recreation of 70's San Francisco. Furthermore, the destruction of vehicles is realistic and satisfying and cut scenes are stunning, with characters’ faces rendered in astonishing detail. Ultimately, this helps immerse you in the game’s story, which plays out much like a television show with some excellent voice acting taking centre stage. The soundtrack is strong and varied too, boasting over 60 licensed songs that really fit the mood of a 70's cop-chase.To conclude, Driver: San Francisco is a brilliant, well-rounded game that feels like an evolution of the series, yet sticks impressively to its arcade roots. While it probably won’t do as well as some of the big-named games scheduled for November release, it still has all the markings of a big-budget game, with the defining feature - 'Shifting' from car-to-car - proving that the developer thought long and hard about how to bring the Driver series into a brand new era, while retaining everything that made it so popular in the first instance.
