Default Driver 3 or Toca, both £24.99

Just got my games tracker alert through, both on Xbox, both £24.99:

But which one to go for?

I dont need a new ganme as still struggling with Ninja Gaiden, but at £24.99 it would be rude not to

So which do I get?

Here's a clue as someone else posted on scoobynet

"they don't call it Driver 3 / 10 for nothing"

Not sure about either now

Driver 3 is a no-no, sounds awful. I had a quick go on it in Game the other day and have to say I was bored after a few minutes, felt like a lifeless version of Vice City, shame

Dont know about Toca either, hated the PC demo, seemed to unrealistic.

Get neither, go for Full Spectrum Warrior, I believe it's out in the UK today

If you want a driving game then, Richard Burns Rally will be worth the wait (out in 10 days I think?).

Did I say Toca wasn't better ? And yes I've played Driv3r and am enjoying it, can't see what everyone is moaning about.

All I'll say on Driv3r is that I wish my car had brakes like the cars in that game! It'd put ripples in the tarmac!!

Still I won't complain I've actually played it the most trying to get the game to crash

I was agreeing with you mate

I bought xbox Driv3r and returned it after a couple of days. Got fed up with it crashing the console, poor collision detection, bad popups etc etc......

Chronicles of Riddick looks like it might be worth a look.....

I like both games Toca is excellent and will keep you playing for hours. I'm getting into driver now and it isn't that bad.

Don't see what all the bad press is about, I'm playing Driv3r at the mo and although frustrating at times with my inabilities it's a good game

PS for those of you that aren't using games tracker yet, it really is a superb site, but does cost you more as you end up buying al the cheap games

Simply login, then choose which games you want to keep an eye on either for price or release date etc, then it emails you with price alerts.
