Ubisoft decided to remove the embargo over videos and reviews of Driver: San Francisco a few days before the original date. Normally this would be a good thing, but considering I only got the game yesterday evening there is no way I could do a review of the game that quickly, so I just jumped on my capture hardware and did some videos. After a few hours of gameplay, I can say without a doubt that this is one of the most ridiculous story in a game ever, but I'm also having a lot of fun with the cars and the shift system. Brilliant idea :)
Update: Added a video showing various gameplay sequences.

If the game had a decent story or a little more to the gameplay than driving around I might consider it, but as it is I just don't see it warranting a purchase. Kinda burned out on racing/driving games lately, and this doesn't do anything unique (other than having a cracked out storyline).

As for DrivSFr, I still think I may have bought it if they had some more varied missions and allowed you to get out the car. I know I'm in the minority here, but a little shooting and some more action would have made the driving less tedious and mixed things up a bit. I realize that not every game has to have guns, but for me it still just feels like going backward to have it for a few games and then remove it. I really think if they just limited it to a few missions and free roam, and improved the controls it could have been great.
I know this probably sounds sadistic as hell........but I also hate the fact that I can't plow over pedestrians anymore. Helps me keep my road rage in the living room and off the actual road......
