Driver is one of few games ported from a waaay more sophisticated console to the very simple GBC that made the move without sacrificing too much. The graphics are no doubt very simplified, but it's in the gameplay this game really pulls through. The missions are varied, with escalating difficulatly; spread over three large city maps along with a small selection of cars and a few extra games. I'm no hardcore fan of this game, but one day I was playing around a bit and decided to collect some highscores (they are reset each time you start the game, Driver relies on passwords instead of internal memory, which is a good choice as the cartrige won't start malfunctioning without breaking down completely... as is the case with so many other games that rely solely on savefiles (like Golden Sun... great game but it's a shame it's useless as soon as the save function stops working... which happens eventually on most GB games).

Time Limit Bug

When you run a getaway game (or any mode in which the counter counts up) just find a safe place and stay there until the time reaches 5:99:99 and the game will freeze. I found this out by accident after leaving my GBC on and forgetting about it for a while, AFAIK I'm the first to find the bug. ;)

Game Codes

Oh, also, here are the passwords for the cities, along with various cars. Miami is the first city and already unlocked when you start the game.

Final Message

Spoiler alert! Which is why this is the last entry on the page, so quit reading now or deal with the consequences. When you beat the game you get the message...

Good work, you got wheels of gold!

That is all.
