Despite what the only other review on this page says, Driver franchise already preceded the 3D GTA games.
What did happen is they added shooting mechanics to what should've been only a driving focused game (they added it to Parallel Lines and this game mostly just reuses assets and mechanics from that only downgraded for the PSP).
The shooting segments are really bad, but they are few and far between... that is if you avoid using the guns to easily destroy the cars chasing you.
I like the comic style cutscenes but the protagonist and his main friend are kinda unlikeable but overall it is a quite good open ended game for the PSP with a pretty nifty mission variety and some very ugly car customization that doesn't fit the era if you want to use that.
