Not for the challenge-impaired or easily frustrated, Driven will definitely teach you more respect for what it takes to be a real race driver.

The GameCube controller feels like it was made for this game!

A racing game that is easy to control but extremely difficult.

Driven was the first GCN game I got that didn't really have anything going for it. It didn't stand above F1 and racing titles of Gen 5 that I had on PS1. Racing is a crowded space and it's seen many mediocre games in it's genre. This one limbos right under that. I give it a 4 because it's a gen 6 game. It doesn't have groundbreaking graphics but it doesn't have graphics or sound **** 5 game. Driven was a bargain bin filler in the 2000s. Bargains are great if you get good value for your buck sadly it's not the case here. This is a game for either a person who is collecting EVERY Gamecube game or a person that is collecting EVERY gen 6 or GCN racing game.

Not quite an ambitious failure, and not a qualified success either, the game pays the price for falling between the stools of arcade adventurousness and simulation seriousness.

When it comes down to it all, the game plays true to the film. Boring, clichéd, sometimes grimace inducing and deeply, deeply average.

Driving is surprisingly manageable for an open-wheel racer, and that could get your engine running if you're a car buff or arcade racing fan. [May 2002, p.132]

Driven's acceleration feels sluggish as it tries to drag the combined weight of unresponsive AI, strange physics, overly unforgiving challenges and pedestrian multiplayer modes.
25
Too frustrating to be fun. [June 2002, p.114]
