5. Driver Tutorial
ReflectionsSwitching gears to a particularly frustrating moment here, and one that's elevated far above many other entries we've
previously covered because of one specific thing: It was the
very first thing you did in the game. Many people forget that it was actually Driver 2 that gave us a gigantic sprawling free-roaming 3D city years before GTA III landed and made the genre what it is today, and the reason for such a thing is that hundreds of potential flag-fliers were put right off by this ridiculous tutorial. Just as much a "f**k you" as a right of passage (maybe that's what they were going for?), building a system of driving mechanics around very floaty and skid-inducing turns - and then asking you to perform very specific manoeuvres - was a recipe for button-smashing frustration if there ever was one.
