Ubisoft is releasing a PSP version of popular 1970s-styled racer called
Driver ‘76, which is out in stores tomorrow.
It's the first all-new edition of the famed
Driver series to be released since Ubisoft acquired the franchise in 2006. Developed by
Sumo Digital Ltd. and Ubisoft’s Reflections studio, and is rated 15+.
The game, we are informed , is ‘faithful to the brand spirit’ so we can only hope that it’s faithful to the good games in the series. Not, for example, the frankly abysmal
Driver 3.
Driv3r A.K.A. "The shit one".
Driver ‘76 is an action driving game that “thrusts the player into the heart of the 1970s, through 27 missions divided into six main plots. Players can take side jobs, earning cash that can be used to modify their rides.
Driver ‘76 also offers an extensive multiplayer mode and a host of mini-games ranging from street races to all out carnage in Destruction Derby mode.”
We'll have
Damned! Damned! Damned! by The Damned,
One More from the Road by Lynyrd Skynyrd,
Mothership Connection by Parliament,
Wanted! the Outlaws - Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson and, of course,
The Ramones by The Ramones on our eight-track.
