In general, the story is not just a masterpiece, very confused sweeping narrative and actually you do not know what is real and what is not now.
In short it comes to Constable John Tanner, who wants to uncover a conspiracy of his opponent Jericho. However, Tanner is in a coma and that's why he has the ability to taste between cars back and forth to jump.
So confused the story sounds so much she is well.
Only the staging is bombastic, reminds me of a good action flick, after each chapter the plot is repeated in nice cutouts / settings shortly.
In addition to the main story, there are some other missions, some of which also have a longer story arc. For example, it takes several times the control of a teenager who travels with his friend race and slowly sliding into criminality.
A very funny mission was also, as it plays the learner and the pulse of the instructor had to drive up.
However, the game certainly lives of the city of San Francisco, which has been beautifully recreated. Although of course you do not have 1: 1 over the road network, but all important points are present and yet comes to the right feeling (I myself was recently in SF and wanted again the city "experience").
The new feature that makes it possible to taste from car to car to "switches" is very interesting and you have to use in various missions often.
Then sometimes it degenerates even too much, if you just fast cars takes to this to crash into the enemy, which is quickly monotonous and bland.
Also, the driving experience is hammer and even though the game experience is clearly executed on action, but every car feels significantly different. It makes a huge difference whether one is driving a 0815-car, a truck, or a sports car.
Incidentally, there are (for the first time in the Driver series) only licensed cars (more than 100) - very positive.
Overall it is a good racing game that thanks to various missions, challenges and movie missions (missions, which are an allusion to certain scenes in famous movies) also sufficiently long-term motivation has (multiplayer I have not tried).
Shortly to the edition, the game comes in the "PS3 Essentials" package, so do not like the picture with a normal "unframed" cover, but unfortunately with the red frame.
