Play Driv3r Online

Summary

Driv3r on the Game Boy Advance squeezes the high‑octane feel of the console series into a pocket‑sized adventure. You play as undercover cop Tanner, tearing through the neon‑lit streets of Miami, the sun‑drenched avenues of Nice, and the bustling alleys of Istanbul, swapping between cars, motorbikes, and even speedboats on the fly. The handheld version keeps the series’ signature mix of high‑speed chases, on‑foot pursuits, and gun‑play, while adding a health bar and limited ammo to heighten the tension. Three single‑player modes—Undercover story missions, free‑roam "Take A Ride," and challenge‑driven Driving Games—let you explore each city at your own pace, with a notoriety system that summons police hot‑pursuits. Released in October 2005 and crafted by Velez & Dubail, the game even offers replay editing with multiple camera angles, giving you a mini‑film studio in your pocket.

Storyline

Undercover FBI agents John Tanner and Tobias Jones are dispatched to Miami to bust the South Beach cartel run by Calita Martinez. The duo discovers the gang’s recent haul of stolen cars and Tanner goes undercover as a wheelman, earning Calita’s trust by completing a series of tasks, including an assassination order against "The Gator." After the cartel relocates to Nice, France, Tanner works with Interpol agents Vauban and Dubois, rescues Dubois from capture, and learns the next car shipment will head for Istanbul.

In Istanbul, Tanner and Jones encounter their mysterious employer Charles Jericho, who murders Dubois and frames him for the crime. The agents pursue Jericho through a tangled web of middlemen, including the Bagman, and learn that the stolen vehicles have already been shipped to Russia. After a tense stake‑out, Jericho kills the Bagman, tries to escape by train, and is finally cornered in an alley where Tanner wounds him before the corrupt criminal is taken into custody.

The climax leaves both Tanner and Jericho critically injured, setting the stage for the sequel, Driver: San Francisco. The handheld version, often referred to simply as Driver 3, mirrors the console’s high‑octane plot while fitting the Game Boy Advance’s portable format.
