The demo SUCKED. Which means- the game SUCKS. It's SO bad- it's just laughable and HORRIBLE and neither in a good way. My ears are still bleeding from the TERRIBLE voice work. There's like 5 or so people doing the voice work in the demo and each is somehow worse than the one before and when it circles around- the first guy is magically more suck than the 5th person. It's a circle of suck. Terrible game, terrible demo, terrible story, terrible voice actors... not terrible driving.

I was kind of looking forward to this one hoping for a sleeper hit......then I read your comments :(
How about playing the demo yourself and forming your own opinions?
Not saying the demo/game does or does not suck, but the term suck, and the term win, and just about every other adjective that one could come up with, are purely subjective to the individual - there is no mathematical or scientific constant, to codify either. "One man's garbage is another man's treasure," as the old saying goes.
So form your own opinion. The world in general would really be a better place if more people stopped being sheeple, stopped being purely reactionary, and become leaders of their own lives, minds and opinions.
For me Driver San Francisco demo was awesome. Period.
I wasn't expecting it to have pro actors or a believable story anyway. Yeah they voice acting could be better, but in a nutshell - driving and missions seem fun to me, like Driver 1, 2 was. And If you ask me - that's all I want from such a game. Handling seem arcade-ish, a mix between Hot Pursuit and Burnout imo, some cars feel really heavy. There's no abs on all cars, so when you're hard on the brakes - wheels lock up. Overall world detail is good, you'll be driving in this game anyway. Haven't seen any trams :\
Tho that "piss-water" filter is kinda weird, making everything look orange-ish, but it's not a big con to be honest.
They could have stuck with the concept of the first one, make the A.I. more fierce and leep the game full of tension....but noooo..they totally fucked it up.
to be honest i kinda know that this is going to be a flop
1- i noticed there is no on foot missions only cars!
2- you can't even get out of your car and instead shifting from car to car is the solution of getting bored !
the only thing is good is car brands but that isn't enough !
first call of Juarez the cartel is major flop now this !
i wonder why ubisoft is starting to lose its touch , i hope i'm wrong !
