Drivers in the early days of its release is one title that is able to bring a racing game in a new direction. If the racing game that was born before only focuses on speed and won a certain race, Driver wrapped with a different concept. Not only focusing on speed, game released the heyday of this first Playstation, also able to bring the criminal world plot and theme of open-world that can produce a much different experience for a racing game.

You are now also required to shoot members of the criminal who became the main target of your operation. An innovation that actually makes Drivers are being abandoned by the fans in the series initially. Review the bad and sales are not too happy to make this struggling franchise back to return to the main roots – Driving. Ubisoft to be the horns to make this happen.

Expectations gamers will be the revival of the franchise is certainly resonated loudly.
