Driver is a very fun game. The shift mechanic really makes it stand out, and they thought up some smart modes with it.
The cars all feel 'heavy' and slide a lot, but once you get used to it the controls are fine.
The multi is also quite fun, but it really needs a full house and the public games are kinda dead. An additional problem is that by default everyone mic is full open and you can do nothing to change it outside of windows control (or download a windows push to talk program). Twice now I have encountered the dreaded static monster.
There really is no need in the game for 140 buyable cars though. If you can buy a Ford GT40, will you ever take out an Oldsmobile or the middle of the 5 bustypes out for a spin.
Didn't Need for Speed partly evolve and sell in a way because of Fast and the Furious?
I refer specifically to NFS post Hot Pursuit 2/beginning with Underground.
People have sorta forgotten the NFS series was ever anything but what it's been from Underground on, I think.
I know that after watching Fast & Furious 2 for the first time while at work one day, that I immediately got a fever and the only cure was Underground 2. It was the first actual racing game I have ever bought and owned.
I would love if the movie was just a higher budget retelling of the original Most Wanted. If anything though, of all the game franchises that could be scooped up and made into a movie with no respect to the actual game then its Need for Speed. Ain't gonna be no nerds raging that Nathan Fillion is perfect for Bad Boy Driver #3. Or that the Lotus Elise never would have fell in love with with Aston Martin DB9 as per NFS canon.
As for the Burnout franchise, Criterion definitely has not forgotten the series and its many fans. The studio put out the downloadable Burnout Crash! last year, but Ward was mum on the future of Burnout other than to say that the developer "[thinks] about it all the time.
"I think something big will have to happen soon to enable us to do some of the things we want to do."
Other Ocean's Mika sure thinks so: "I believe in the rules of two, and those two will be Apple and Microsoft. Android will be relegated to the kids table at Thanksgiving. It'll always be around, wanting to play with the big kids, and it'll get a lot of attention, but it won't be putting the food on the table."
Wow, ain't he a jerk. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy in any event, if such a scenario were to happen, people like him are the reason why this is the case.
Yeah, because most markets only have 2 main competitors, amirite? It's just so easy to root for "that one team" or "the other team".
Plus, Apple spent a while at that kids' table, and they're solid proof that fortunes can change very quickly in this field.

Speaking for myself, I was hoping for more. Built-in second analog stick, better viewing angle for the 3D effect, a noticeable improvement to battery life. The 3DS XL just feels underwhelming. The biggest improvement as far as I'm concerned is that since the screen is bigger, you can play DS games at native resolution without everything being too small.
But eh, I'll probably pick one up sometime since I don't own a 3DS and it doesn't sound worse than the original.

Anarchy Reigns is 30 dollars at Gamestop, Buy.com, and Best Buy Canada. 30 dollars would probably be a good price if they want it to sell and not be absolutely crushed by every other multiplayer focused game.

Yeah. 30 dollars seems reasonable.
I'm interested in Anarchy Reigns because it seems like an interesting concept but at the same time didn't seem to have much else going for it that I would pay 60 bucks for it.

The 3D sweet spot will probably be bigger since the screen is larger. I'm not sure how you'd produce an auto-stereoscopic screen with a wide viewing angle. The battery life is probably as long as it can be within a reasonable price range - the battery is powering two large screens, one of which double the resolution because of the 3D effect.

This piqued my curiosity so I had a look. The DSi cut the battery life. The DSi XL was an improvement but still didn't have as good a battery life as the Lite.
