Now this may come as a shock to you, but on first impressions, the ‘shift’ mechanic that you can get in Driver: San Francisco seemed like a rather nicely added feature that could spice up online play. On the other hand, we had a little think and want to retract (in part) some of our premature impressions.

One of our gripes is that we don’t really see the point in been able to drive pretty well, only to be foiled by someone who has literally just jumped into a car next to you to take your hard earned glory away from you.

Gripes aside, it may just be one of those things you have to experience for yourself. For the moment though, we are branding it as Marmite. You’ll either love it, or hate it.

As for the video, the content on show does look promising. There are plenty of modes to keep you satisfied. You can either go back to classic mode (no car shift-swapping) if you prefer to prove you are the best driver of your friends and colleagues.

As we expected, the views are somewhat negative too. Many, such as this user are complaining that the game has taken the mechanic straight from BLUR, making this as unique as a generic mobile phone.


OMG what a FAIL.So game like Blur which emphasise on this ability’s and driving didn’t succeed now Ubisoft are going to make one of realistic IP and turn into BLUR ?

-Maximum Payne via VG247.

Others are being optimistic about the fun-factor though, and say that even though it does resemble BLUR, it still has a lot of nice things going for it.

What are your opinions on Driver: San Francisco’s multiplayer modes? Check out the video below and give us your thoughts.

The beta is due to open to all Xbox 360 users this week – we have the main reason why it is exclusive on Xbox Live.

The game is currently in closed Beta status, with all the free keys being snapped up in a second. The game is developed by Bizarre Creation, and Gareth Wilson from the team explained the reasons why its Xbox 360 only.

He stated how difficult it is to focus on three platforms (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) at once, without the game crashing every minute, but revealed the following interesting details:

”We just chose Xbox really because it’s the platform that, to be straight, has more online users than the PS3.”

What are your thoughts on this? If you are a PS3 owner, do you think this is a fair reason or not?

A few weeks ago we posted a trailer which showed off some of the game’s impressive multiplayer game modes, therefore an Online beta is a great way of marketing the game’s capabilities to all Xbox 360 gamers.

Bizarre’s lead designer Gareth Wilson is excited to finally get some feedback for the game, here is what he had to say “We basically ran out of code, so next week we are going to go live with the whole thing publically so anyone can download it,”

It has also been revealed that the beta will not be coming to PC or PS3, this is because there are more online gamers on the Xbox 360.

Just a reminder the U.S. release of the game takes place on May 25th and it should hit Europe on May 28th, for more details check out the link below.

The game will feature a lot of different multiplayer game modes, you will be able to choose between realistic game modes, or modes which feature power-ups and booby traps.

When featuring booby traps and power-ups the gameplay is quite similar to Mario Kart, it seems as if Bizarre Creations have set out to deliver a pretty unique online experience which should attract a wide audience.

Check out the trailer at the end of this post. Has this convinced you to buy Blur when it is released?
