Proper Driver 3 trailer

See the game in action.

Atari has released a 90-second video of Driver 3, showcasing far more of the game in action than we'd previously seen in several months of screenshots and teaser footage (including the damp squib that was the ECTS trailer). In it, Tanner is seen wheelie-ing around on a bike and throwing Bullitt-looking vehicles around busy streets - from outside angles and the driver's seat - and even across the rooftops of Nice. Viewers also get to see some of Reflections' best noir-ish cut sequences, as a fat crook meets a leaden end and Tanner trots around looking harder than a bucket of Phil Mitchells in sunglasses. With guns.

Based on the trailer and what we heard about the game from Reflections CEO Martin Edmondson last week, Driver 3 is going to bring the stylish, car chase-centred action kicking and screaming into the Vice City era with aplomb. We suggest you download the trailer, which can be had here - it may not be a quantum leap, but it made us want to play it. Very a lot.
