Retro saturdays and driver 1

If your like most people you have played driver 1 and got stuck in the 1st level aka the driving lessons and you most likely have only played the 1st game in the series. Driver 1 is a 3D action adventure similar to a toned down grand theft auto which is it's downfall. The majority of the gameplay in driver 1 is driving to a certain spot on a map while avoiding the cops and usually your timed. Once you complete it then you move onto the next one and your teleported to a different spot of the map. This isn't like gta 3 where you can free roam between missions

What was great about driver for it's time is the free roam mode in which you could just drive around. Unfortunately most players got stuck on the very 1st level which serves as a tutorial. The very last thing you have to do is well I don't remember it exactly but I believe it was driving straight then doing a 180 and stopping in a certain area while doing it in a short amount of time

I remember when it came out how the gameplay mechanics were pretty fresh and there was a cool commercial involving a car chase,sadly grand theft auto 3 over classed it in every way and relegated driver to the nostalgia bin
