Now when you look at the reviews both critically and from fans of Driv3r you might be a bit confused as to why this title makes this list seeing as all across the board people seem to be in agreement that this game is a bit....what's the word I'm looking for?

Oh yes, dog dick.

Thanks to Atari rushing this title to market, the game was unfinished, unpolished, and downright unplayable in some instances. A real steaming turd of an experience through and through. However, Atari being the cheeky whippets that they were decided that a little thing like being a terrible experience wasn't going to stop them and so offered two review outlets advanced copies of the game in exchange for guaranteed 9/10's.

The two outlets in question were PSM2 and XboxWorld who churned out praise through gritted teeth while the smell of corruption burned their nose hairs. 2 months before launch the reviews dropped and players the world over were conned into buying a shoddy experience.

Boo. The crowd hates that. Boo.
