" I wanted to let you know that my Driver pre-order came in. It is awesome. The driving around the city levels are great, the main game, Undercover, is a blast! Most of the levels (jobs) so far, seem to be get from point A to B in X amount of time, but even that is challenging and fun. The Replay playback options are a hoot and really make the game fun for kids and adults. Had a great chase? Just save the replay so you can watch it again. You can also edit (direct really) the presentation of the replay choosing the camera view/angle/height and mode and even set up stationary cameras so you can catch that near miss, jump and mid-air collision from the perfect vantage point. The controls don't come close to the ease of iMovie, but work well enough once you figure them out. Alas they don't save out as QT movies.

The graphics look as good as intended and are smooth on my Voodoo 5 and Rage 128 Pro cards. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I told several coworkers about it and 2 said it was their favorite playstation game, so they understood my eagerness to get home and play it some more.

I'll be sure to give you an update as I get further along in the game.
