Driver - Sennyuu! Car Chase Daisakusen (PS1) price, value & rarity
The Japanese release of Driver, titled locally Sennyuu! Car Chase Daisakusen, less common than the Western versions in a market lukewarm to this American style. This Japanese release draws collectors of the regional variants of a car-stunt pioneer. Its interest lies in this local run rather than in any overall scarcity of the title.
A questionable morality
Officially planted undercover in the underworld on the side of the law, you spend most of your time driving for the mob: chases, muscular getaways, the appointed wheelman for every dirty job. The cover conveniently excuses each skid, so you shake off the police with the clear conscience of a good guy merely doing his job behind the wheel.
Is Driver - Sennyuu! Car Chase Daisakusen still worth playing in 2026?
Driver is a cinematic PS1 driving game and precursor of the open-world genre. Drive like a movie chauffeur across authentic American cities (Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York) with careful car physics and marking cinematic staging. Reflections' immersive campaign and Undercover mode create a unique atmosphere. A classic to bring out today.
