Missions vary from ones related to the story, to humorous side missions such as helping a troubled teenager with their angry driving school teacher. NPCs who might be passengers in the car all have thousands of recorded lines of dialogue. As Tanner shifts into different cars he will be able to take on different missions. The developers wanted to bring the game back to its roots, and this meant removing the on-foot gameplay in order to focus on the driving.

This has given him an ability called 'Shift,' which slows time and allow the player to select a nearby car, which they then take over. GameplayĪs was mentioned in the story, Tanner ends up in a coma. It is shown at the end of the game that Tanner has regained consciousness, and that the world he saw in his mind was based on the news reports he heard from the television in his hospital ward. This ranges from the theft of a large amount of platinum to a small number of classic automobiles.

The game takes place in Tanner's mind, and he pursues Jericho's syndicate as they perform various criminal actions. He does not realise that he is in a coma for a large amount of the story, though in this dream world he is able to manipulate cars in a manner that other people could not. Initially, Tanner himself is not aware that he is in a coma, believing he has simply gained some incredible abilities. Using the superior bulk of the prison van, he slams into Tanner's Dodge Challenger, and forces it into a road, where it suffers severe damage and Tanner is put into a coma. Tanner and Jones pursue the prison van, now controlled by Jericho, though are eventually ambushed in an alleyway by Jericho. A news helicopter is also sabotaged, and an RPG-7 is used from the moving helicopter to take out part of the police escort. Using some of his underworld contacts, he has a guard plant an acid pill in his mouth, so that he can break free of his handcuffs. Jericho is secured in a maximum security penitentiary, but has a plan for breaking out as he is taken to court.

Starting six months after the events of Driv3r, Tanner has managed to successfully apprehend Jericho, whereupon he has been extradited back to the United States to face trial. Also making a comeback are Tanner's partner from Driver 2 and 3: Tobias Jones, and arch-nemesis Jericho (also from Driver 2 and Driv3r) who returns as the villain.

The game returns to something of a past styling, as it brings the action to San Francisco, which was featured in the first game, as well as restoring the character Tanner, who was the protagonist in the first three games. Driver: San Francisco is the fifth console title in the Driver series.
