One Word...Under Rated !
Driver : PL is a very under rated game, at least this game should get a 7 or 8 but no, they gave it 5.5 ! The cool thing is that there is a '70's time and a modern time. The sound and music are good, the graphics are great but not a 2007 style. Gameplay is is good but missing a lot of things like jumping, swimming, melee combat etc.
Graphics-
Graphics are great but there are a few glitches like the character's face is a bit triangle like, the shader technology is well used. The animation is too much funky but there ok. the shadows are good. The gun models are a bit simple (not many polygons). The car models are good and the city is well made like there a huge building area and there a normal neighbourhood.
Gameplay-
Gameplay could have been a lot better, the driving is good but the shooting is bad. There are no fists, knifes, bats etc. There is no jumping and the ducking is worth nothing. If there was a cover system it would have been cool. The street racing is good when you mod your ride in your friends shop.
Sound-
Sound is good. The shooting and the reloading sounds are good. The voices are medicore like in the 70's the main character has the same voice as the modern time, he is only 18 in the 70's but he sounds like 40 year old man. Music is great.
Bottom line-
It is a good game if your bored of playing the Gta games then grab DPL, its worth it. If they worked more in it the game would have better than GTA4 !!!.
