Obviously, the idea is to scope out the map, pick a vehicle near the trophy car, transfer into it and then give chase. You can also see every other vehicle on the road - putting the cursor over one and pressing X puts you straight in to it. Hitting X on the PS3 controller, draws your view out of the car and into a map screen, which shows the city layout: pushing down on the analogue controller pans out for a wider view, and hitting R1 zooms directly to the trophy car. In Tag, the concept takes a while to grasp, but the tactical possibilities are immediately obvious. Comparisons have been made to Life on Mars and Inception, and while its proved a controversial feature it has allowed this interesting game mechanic – the ability to instantly switch from one car to another.
Once again, you're Tanner, on the tail of crime lord Jericho, but this time a near fatal car accident leaves the cop in a coma, and the game plays out inside his state of unconsciousness. If you've kept your eye on the Driver pre-release hype you'll know that the main game is no ordinary gangland drive-'em-up. Of course, the key element is 'switching'.
Players get a point for every second they retain the trophy and the first to 100 wins.
To take the item from another player, you simply have to smash into their vehicle. At a recent games showcase event in London, Ubi was showing off 'Tag', in which eight drivers fight it out to grab a trophy and keep hold of it as long as possible. Alongside a few straightforward racing options, several are designed to match the thrilling insanity of Survival.
Its forthcoming return to the series, Driver San Francisco, is set to feature an incredible 19 multiplayer modes – 11 online, and eight splitscreen. Reflections (now Ubisoft Reflections) has clearly never forgotten those heady days.
