After the near-unsuccessful part 2 of PSone, Reflections undercover agent Tanner moves on to the next-gen console with more fun success?
Uncompromising cop Tanner travels the world to find the backers of a car-smuggling gang. His virtual city route is: Miami, Nice, Istanbul, all lovingly restored with a total of 35,000 buildings and a huge kilometer of roads. No more digital alter ego has much to do with sightseeing. Regardless of the lost, the hunt for the masters of the cart-pushing business requires a lot of driving skill from you. As usual you drive in the metropolises again and again. Tires broken, nauseous or not. You don’t have to leave just a few extra steps. Stop, drop the next car, take the driver out and you go with a polished engine.
Aside from the banal How to Get from Point A to Point B, you use American cars and motorcycles, lightning-fast 440,000-ton trucks, supercars, boats and over 70 other vehicles for more exciting purposes. In more than 30 missions, you must muster the courage to chase the asphalt, hide suspicious people, stop fleeing vehicles by force and aim machine gun fire, destroy storage areas and put stolen vehicles in the trailer of a moving truck. maneuver. In most missions, you fight hard times, a small observation radius or the pitfalls of your explosive charge, which will fly into the air if the collisions are too violent. What a good joke! If you react more quickly to the spectacular scene, you can activate the Thrill Cam with the button-like impact and automatically repeat the story.

The tagline “The best thing about Grand Theft Auto – The only real crime”, “Fake of LA” is that streets can’t be terrible for the DRIV3R, so in the meantime the cop and his slapstick can walk. That means there are a lot of missions that you take on, to leave your beloved wheel and give sour to gangsters per pedes. Since being shot, Tanner can take a walk in 3D, taking the opportunity to move in first-person or third-person angles. You can hand or hand punch emerging villains. Anyone who says to demand skirmish a la Hitman: Contracts will be disappointed: Most of the time your opponents will hang around like stupid cardboard comrades and beg for their kill. If you grab a long-range machine gun and examine the area closely, you can quickly shoot the bad guys from a distance, but they don’t seem to feel the need to cover or act tactically. Unfortunately, this unfortunate circumstance sometimes saves the digital life of your digital life. In insanely difficult boss battles, please position Tanner so that his crosshairs turn red, but you don’t notice him. It’s the fire button that helps the rest.
You can choose from different variants, less nervous and less powerful: in Freie Reise you travel through a number of metropolises to find hidden bonuses, including car, weather and time to day. Under the Driving Games menu, there are six different mini-missions, such as checkpoint races. You can defeat the police using the eviction tool. The action dance, as well as the kind that will hold the film in their hands, can leave more steam in director mode.

The differences in the console version are mostly typographic in nature: while cars and houses appear earlier on the Sony console, the Xbox racers enjoy the more elegant look.
opinion
Oliver Schultes says all good is three. DRIV3R gives a very strong conviction, to my regret it is completely the weakest part of Reflections. The upcoming new version may add unnecessary sequences that cannot follow the other end of the story. Dragonfighting is a tough thing that can be shot from a distance without the slightest resistance, and tedious scripting (opponents suddenly appearing behind doors) doesn’t reflect well on the developers. Okay, it just hangs with stains. Polygons merge with vehicles, a human alter ego is clamped to the pool table and a takeoff also helps mobster like Matrix hero Neo travels in for no apparent reason, the air smells like The product must now come to the same place. I’m so upset by the whole thing: the foundation for driving experience, exciting pursuits and a real opportunity for fun!
Thorsten Kuchler says that’s good. bath. the two. The poster slogan for Ataris DRIV3R fits like the car bumper. While the director mode is especially popular with creative people, some story missions make the developers question their innocence. Why does the fate of Tanners often depend on an advantage or unconfirmed AI? Why are obstacles on every corner of us so annoying (keywords: indestructible lantern)? Again, the police drama doesn’t look particularly exciting: flashing shocks and objects coming in don’t paint a good picture of the Reflections technology department. The German synchro fails on such a large project. Even the anarchic Free Ride mode leaves no blunder in the hell of a bitter disappointment.
rating
+ some very exciting pursuits. + excellent driving experience.
With pop-ups and hitches, your unfinished look isn’t finished. difficult running missions and stupid opponents are defeated. Level design with naivety and bugs. German dubbing is a hobby.
Light and shadow – lame steps on foot alternate with exciting driving sequences.
