I remember that 'test' from the very first 'Driver'. Baddness.
It had me cussing, because you couldn't start the game until you completed it.
When the missions started then I understood why all those moves were necessary to learn.
Man I had so much fun with that game. The car chases were even more epic than
anything Grand Theft Auto could come up with.
If 'back to the roots' means no on-foot gameplay, then I'm SOLD!!!
