This page sucks. If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome.

To do: Needs images badly. The later Ubisoft-released version has some changes, mostly in-game advertisements.

Driv3r (pronounced Driver 3) is the third entry in the Driver series. It introduced bikes, swimming, boats, guns and the rather famous Timmy Vermicelli. The game itself, however was considered the worst game in the series mainly because of the number of bugs in it.

Each city was meant to have a police boat. However, they were removed but Istanbul's police boat was used in a single mission which doesn't move upon entry.
