Advantages: Action packed, and great fun!

Disadvantages: Hard to see the screen

Driver for Gameboy Colour's first impression on me was "OK, so it's just Grand Theft Auto, but on a little screen". But then when I started playing it for a while (as soon as I had found enough light to see the screen in), I found it was really fun in so many ways.

To start off with, the game keeps pretty similar to Driver for Playstation, i.e the maps are the same, the missions are the same, with a few new ones added on, and The cars are the same. This is great, because a pro at Driver can still enjoy playing the game exactly as you would normally, but now you can play it on a journey in the car, or when you're away from home.

Another good thing about it is, I thought it would be easy and boring to play, because it's hardly going to be as tackling as Driver, but I was completely wrong. For one thing, you need to adjust to the new controls, and the different sensitivity of the movement of the car, also, the missions start getting pretty damn tricky. I was going nuts trying to complete a level that I completed on my first shot on Driver for Playstation!

But, I guess there are a couple of things that some people would find annoying. The game hasn't got good graphics, it's a birds-eye view, very much like Grand Theft Auto, but who expected it to appear like the origional? Also, the music played is high-pitched and very annoying, as well as the very high noise of the police sirens. And without enough light on the screen, you won't be able to see the game, especially when it's a level at night.

Other than that, it's definately a highly enjoyable game, and is great for when you're bored!
