In times when mindless car action game is released practically everyday, Driver 76 seems a little different. The player assumes the role of Ray, who is a two-bit wheelman full of life and energy. Ray is interested in a girl who is the daughter of a triad boss and thus sets out to impress the man himself so that he can woo his daughter. What follows is unthinkable action full of thrill and adrenaline.
The story is completely based on crime and people double crossing each other at every stage. The game designers have done a fabulous job as they have kept everything simple and have not tried to go over the top with any action sequences. The player in Driver 1976 (PSP) is given the option of choosing missions at his convenience, but this does not make a difference as to how the game proceeds. The missions are filled with action and have to be tackled very carefully. The tasks keep piling up in heaps which keep the gamer on his toes all the times.
The destination at each level has to be reached within a certain amount of time and the cops have to be evaded before the passenger is dropped at the preferred destination. Another salient characteristic about the game is that all the action happens inside the car. There are more than 50 different types of cars to choose from and each car has a distinctive handling. The gamer gets access to numerous armaments thus making it easy to knock down all the targets.
The duration of the story has been designed in such a way so that the adventure does not become monotonous. Side missions like closed course racing and open road racing can be taken up at any point in time and the originality in these missions leave the gamer craving for more. The cash earned from these missions can be used to buy better cars.
The concept seems to be good and the action is too. The weapons are an added bonus and the way the game has been packaged overall is pretty commendable. So if you are really curious it’s worth checking out.
