I played this not long after playing GTA3 as I was hoping for something of a similar style. Bad mistake to make.
Driver is exactly what is says. It's purely driving to certain points to complete your mission. You should generally avoid the police as chances are you will be speeding and they're far from easy to shake. The most disappointing thing is that although you're told what the mission is you don't see much story even in the shoddy cutscenes and it doesn't even feel like you're taking part in one.
Driver consists of you driving from one point to another then back. That is repeated throughout the entire game and it never changes, it's completely and utterly mundane. At the time I played it the graphics were very poor, at the time of release I have no idea how good those graphics would be considered to be.
Overall ...

Advantages: cuts very thinly and evenly Disadvantages: carving style takes a while to get used to
I like my roast meat and poultry sliced very thin and always have a problem keeping my carving knives sharp enough so this is the reason I thought I would try an electric carving knife. Initially the problem I had was the change in slicing style. With an electric carving knife, instead or sliding the knife back and forth through the meat gradually working your way down, you place the knife in position and exert a gentle steady downwards pressure until the knife slices off the piece. The knife itself creates the back and forth motion with its blade. This is the most difficult transition as the tendency to move the knife in a traditional manner remains.
The Breville EK2 isn?t my first electric carving knife; it?s a replacement for an old Russell Hobbs that had to be retired due to safety reasons. It was getting on in years ...
Advantages: Sharp blades, expected host of features, Victorinox quality Disadvantages: Reliability of electronics not proven
This review is for a Victorinox Altimeter Swiss Army Knife. It was bought as a present so although I do not know exactly what it was bought for I have had a quick look around on the internet and standard prices seem to be around £50. This cost surprised me at first but I suppose you do get what you pay for.
Before I tell you about my experiences with this knife I will quickly outline it's features, which as expected for a Victorinox Knife is sufficiently long!
These features are taken directly from the manufacturers descriptions and I do find one or two of the features are a bit dubious, but on the whole they all function well:
1. large blade
2. small blade
3. corkscrew
4. can opener with - small screwdriver 3 mm (also for Phillips screws)
5. cap lifter with - screwdriver 6 mm - wire stripper
9. reamer, punch
10. key ...
