In the last week 2 demos have been released for the upcoming game Driver San Francisco as I am fan of the driver series having owned the previous 5 games I fell well prepared to give my opinions on both the multi player and the single player demos of Driver San Fransisco.
The single player player demo was the first one I downloaded it includes 3 different missions of varying in type. The first mission called "" sees you trying to convince your partner that you have the special ability called shift, this ability allows you to shift in to the body on an other person allowing you to therefore drive their car. The mission is the convince your buddy of your power by using it to manipulate a driver and cause him to do very unusual things such crashing in to police cars. The shift mechanic is fun to use and this first mission is just to show the simplest of its capability's.
The second mission in the demo sees you using the using the sift mechanic to help a father, daughter race team win in both first and second in a race. The mission see you using shift to keep both the races in the top 2 positions by jugging back to forth in each car.
The last mission in the demo is a getaway mission at the start you shift in to the car of a criminal driver where your goal is to earn the respect of your passenger by losing the cops.
The single player missions all very enjoyable but short as you expect from a demo. One criticism I have with the demo is the driving it's self, I feel that the handing on the cars was very difficult and I found my self using the the hand brake a lot to get round corners, it seem the devs have gone for a realist approach with the player having to slow down a lot before turning a tight corner although when 5 police cars are after you slowing down is the last thing on your mind.
The demos are definitely worth a download and I will most likely be getting the game once it has gone down in price a little.
