His name is Charles Jericho, and he certainly did not bring his heart to San Francisco. Now the fate of the sunny city rests in the hands of one man: a detective, a hero, a Driver. John Tanner has put hundreds of criminals behind bars and chased injustice out of many a city, but this mission poses a threat like no other β€” and could be his last. Step into the driver's seat as the hardened detective and get ready for a relentless manhunt that could end either with the restoration of justice or the setting of the sun on the Golden Gate Bridge forever. Driver San Francisco puts the wheel back into your hands in the next installation of the classic racing saga. In this battle of good and evil, your car is your weapon; and with a huge arsenal of more than 130 vehicles to choose from, you have endless power within your grasp. Handle your cars with the unique style that established the Driver series as a quintessential chase experience, with an all-new twist. Take the wheel with more control than ever, harnessing the incredible ability to instantly Shift to the exact car you need β€” at the exact moment you need it. When you spot an enemy a block ahead, swap to a high-powered vehicle and throttle ahead to stop his getaway. When an opponent threatens to drive you off the road, take command of his vehicle and force his demise. Experience an even more enhanced Shift in the six online game modes, transporting yourself across miles in the blink of an eye with the ability to swap locations. Whether you're hunting down the bad guys, racing bumper-to-bumper against a friend or taking on skill-testing dares throughout the city streets, kick it into high gear, forget about the speed limit and don't hesitate for a split second β€” or this ride could be your last. With crime lord Charles Jericho now on the loose, San Francisco faces a terrible threat. Only one man can stand against him. His name is John Tanner. He is the DRIVER. DRIVER SAN FRANCISCO is the return of the established action driving video game series that has sold 14 million copies worldwide. Players will race through the iconic streets of San Francisco across 210 square miles of terrain, with the ability to SHIFT between over 130 licensed muscle and super cars to complete missions, challenges and dares. With its timeless atmosphere, unique car handling and renewed playability, DRIVER SAN FRANCISCO revitalizes the classic free-roaming, cinematic car chase experience for the current generation of video game platforms. Review: A beautiful tribute to a great city with a rich car chasing heritage. - "He's the most ruthless crime lord to ever prowl the streets of the City by the Bay.

Step into the driver's seat as the hardened detective and get ready for a relentless manhunt that could end either with the restoration of justice or the setting of the sun on the Golden Gate Bridge forever." This corny excerpt from the above description of Driver San Francisco gets me emotional. Why? Because this game *has soul*. What does that mean? It means that Driver San Francisco perfectly nails the car chase esthetic. If you like car chases, either as getaway or as pursuer, this game satisfies perfectly. We've all watched movies where the hero must drive through traffic to get away from the bad guys (the excellent Paris chase in the Bourne Identity comes to mind). Driver San Francisco (DSF) takes the world's most famous car chase city, and makes it your playground. San Francisco is lovingly rendered, and you are allowed to drive any car you want, including tanker trucks, and buses, and sports cars and SUVs. The fascinating thing about DSF is how it blurs the line between menu and game. In most games, you choose a car, and then you play the game with the car you've chosen. In this game, you can change cars in the middle of a chase! This nutty idea is aptly rationalized in the context of the game. It works brilliantly, and creates exciting new possibilities in car-chase game-play, as well as in the narrative itself. Driver San Francisco breaks new ground in video-game storytelling. Yes, except in cut-scenes, your character never gets out of the car, but you'll still be amazed by the variety of car-chasing challenges the people at UBIsoft have cooked up. There are races, there are pursuits, there are getaways, there are drift challenges, there are buggy races, and, in the context of the whimsical story, there are even stranger challenges, which I'll not spoil here. Where most games like this would simply support pursuit, getaway, and races, DSF goes above and beyond expectations to give the player something truly new. DSF perfectly presents cars as toys, and the streets of San Francisco as your playground. Go play in the street. Review: Amazing game - CLASSIC!

Brings such good memories. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best driving games I have played *by C***. on September 26, 2011* I'm a huge fan of racing games in general and this one is no exception. If you only take the story for what it is, (an attempt to make some sense out of the ludicrous ability that you have, called shift) the driving is an excellent attempt at creating some great car chases with over-exaggerated drifting and enjoyable gameplay. The shifting ability allows you to at any moment change into any car you would like, meaning that if you mess up, the penalty is relatively minor. Some people think that this ability makes the game too easy, which it can, but it also adds an entirely new layer to the gameplay which if used properly makes it a much more enjoyable experience. The driving can take some getting used to but after about 10-15 minutes, people who have never been very good at racing games (my wife included) are able to pick up and drive. My wife especially enjoys it, because if she crashes, she can get right back into the action (using shift) without having to have too much skill in being able to recover her car. There are tons of side missions that range in difficulty from drifting 20 meters, to jumping a car 50 meters, to driving a Lamborghini under 20 Semi trailers in less than 3 minutes to racing a Mclaren F1 vs a Pagoni Zonda down a freeway at 200+mph. These missions add some variety and extend the life beyond the main story missions, which only take about 8-10 hours to complete. The online multiplayer is just as much fun, if not more so than the singleplayer. Most modes involve everyone having the ability to shift and it keeps the game fast-paced and interesting. Tag mode allows for everyone, except the one who is "it" to shift and try and take the tag away from them. This provides for frantic and unpredictable gameplay which keeps you on the edge of your seat. Trailblazer has you fighting to stay in a trail behind a Delorean in order to accumulate points. Whoever accumulates 100 points first wins. This mode is easier for people with less skill to pick up and play as, the car you are following only goes a moderate speed and is easy enough to keep up with. This allows for less skilled players to get into the action a lot better and use shift to keep in the fun. I only described these two modes to keep the review short, but there are several different modes to play, both with shift and without, which offer gameplay styles that should suit almost all individuals. There are also demos for both the singleplayer and the multiplayer if you would like to try before you buy. Overall, I found this game to be both enjoyable for those who enjoy racing games and those who do not and would recommend it to just about anyone. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1488806-driver-san-francisco](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1488806-driver-san-francisco) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
