We reviewed the game a while back. Check it out here.

Here is the third dev diary with gameplay straight from Driver San Francicso multiplayer modes. This is the best one yet while the developers explain the enhancement in the SHIFT ability.  The game will be released on September 1st 2011 for the Xbox 360, PC, Wii and a Cellphones Version.  The game so far looks amazing with 8 player versus, 2 play co-op and a multiplayer as well as a singleplayer demo available right now on Xbox Live!

Ubisoft have announced that a single-player demo of Driver San Francisco for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will be available today.

“The Driver franchise has always been defined by the excitement of high speed chases and the freedom to drive anywhere in huge cities,” said Geoffroy Sardin, Chief Marketing & Sales Officer at Ubisoft. “Playing Driver San Francisco is the best way to reveal this unique Driver feeling and we are thrilled gamers will be able to get a taste of why we are so excited about Driver San Francisco’s release in September.”

The single-player demo will feature 3 missions in the city of San Francisco:

• Team Colours – Shift between your cars to finish 1st & 2nd in a race
• Escapist – Escape the police with your VIP passenger
• Prove It – Execute stunts and tricks and a cop chase

Check out this solo play focused trailer for the upcoming Driver reboot. The game features a realisitc recreation of San Fransisco, though not too realisitic: “It’s a realistic model of San Francisco in terms of the general themes and layout,” said Creative Director Martin Edmondson. “It’s not an inch-by-inch perfect recreation because experience has told us that that generally doesn’t produce a great game.”
