Driver: San Francisco

201182/100
Racing

Open World

Its core mechanic—the ability to instantly "shift" into any vehicle on the road—transforms a standard arcade racer into a chaotic, city-wide playground. This power lets you solve missions by possessing rival cars to cause pile-ups or snagging a faster ride mid-pursuit, making the driving secondary to inventive traffic manipulation. The sheer joy of this god-like freedom, paired with a knowingly absurd storyline, is what makes its open world so uniquely memorable.

About Driver: San Francisco

View Game Details
The game takes place a few months after the events of Driv3r. It is revealed that both Tanner and Jericho survived the shootout in Istanbul. In the game's trailer, it is revealed that since then, both men have recovered and Jericho has escaped to San Francisco, while Tanner has pursued him there. Jericho is shown being transported in the back of a prison truck, but manages to escape with a vial of acid hidden within his mouth. He overpowers the guards, and hijacks the truck. Tanner and Tobias witness this from Tanner's car, pursuing Jericho as he causes havoc on the streets of the city. Tanner ends up in front of Jericho in an alleyway, and gets pushed in front of a tractor trailer. A hard crash occurs, putting him into a coma. The game will take place in Tanner's coma dream
