Today I was at Blockbuster looking for something to rent,so after a light search I found Driv3r and decided that it seemed like a good way to spend the weekend.When I first turned on the Xbox and ploped in the game..I was 'stunned' to say the least,of the amount of accuracy the game's designers put into the city level of Miami.Being a real-time resident and know-it-all of the place,I couldn't beleive that so much attention to trivial details was exercised!! Oh yeah the physics handling was horrible and the city loses accuracy and detail as you move away from Downtown or Miami Beach..but nonetheless the team did an excellent job of recapturing Downtown Miami,Miami Beach and some sections of Coconut Grove.
For crying out loud they put in MetroMover (the little one car train)!! and Government Center!(tall beige bldg. with horizontal black lines for windows one block off the Highway)

Miami's great! I love driving on Miami Beach with a police cab chasing you! It's great, beacuse they fall into the water or crash into the beach houses

Yeah I agree, they really did a fantastic job of the landscape and the driving physics. Shame they cocked up on the out-of-car experience.

Car crashes and such are realistic in my oppinion. Makes the game really good.

I love the little "City of Miami" Trash Bins everywhere.

Nice is nothing more than long windy roads which sound cool for chases but when you have horrible handling on every car and Driver 2 cop AI it just isn't fun.
Istanbul aka Nice 2, is the same as Nice but shaded a little bit more and made to look even more boring.

Yeah, I'd say Miami is the most realistic city in the game.
