The kill sprees of "Grand Theft Auto IV" were a bit crazy. The wild scrums of the "Saint's Row" series were rather over-the-top. And that whole "Undead Nightmare" in "Red Dead Redemption"? That was quite zany as well.
But even in a genre that's experienced plenty of storyline lunacy already, "Driver: San Francisco" manages to stand out for the tale it tells. The latest addition to the "Driver" series revitalizes Ubisoft's take on the sandbox car game, and it does it with one of the wildest conventions in the history of the genre.
John Tanner can shift his consciousness into the bodies of other citizens. At just about any moment in this romp through a beautifully realized San Fran, Tanner can hop out of one driver's body and into another. And you thought all those psycho zombies in "Crackdown" were wild? Now this is fun.
Ubisoft provides a wacky rationale for its new gaming device. Tanner, the protagonist from previous games in the franchise, has finally captured his nemesis, Jericho. As the game begins, Tanner and his partner are watching Jericho head for his execution. Moments later, though, they're chasing a newly escaped Jericho through the San Fran streets.
But when things backfire, Tanner ends up in a coma. The entire plot takes place in that coma, providing at least some reason for its complete ridiculousness.
"Driver: San Francisco's" story may be nonsensically wild, but that same tale helps yield some refreshing sandbox gameplay. Gone are the days when you needed to drive around an open city searching in vain for your next mission. Here, you simply leap out of your body, then get an overview of a few blocks as you choose your next body to snatch.
It's a surprisingly satisfying mechanic that prevents you from doing pointless driving. Yes, you can still cruise the city if you want to (and it's a city that's worth cruising, too). But no, you aren't likely to get lost as you search for your next mission objective.
Ubisoft takes other liberties, too. Tanner can also charge up cars, then release that charge to create a sort of battering ram effect. It's fun and random and nonsensical, and in "Driver: San Francisco," it fits perfectly.
The game makes sure the mechanics are well-used, too. As with other sandbox games, there are plenty of side missions in addition to the main quest of capturing Jericho. One such mode presents a particularly original challenge. In some races, you'll need to guide two cars to a 1-2 finish. How? By swapping bodies of both cars throughout the race.
Ubisoft draws major points for such originality, but the game has its share of stumbles, too. Story mode missions often feel too guided and restrictive, and in chase missions, if you don't stay glued to your target – if you attempt any dose of original thought and gamble on a cutoff point – you're forced to restart.
Then again, restarting never feels like too much of a task in "Driver: San Francisco" because the driving is solid. Ubisoft grabbed real licenses for its cars, and just about every vehicle looks great. This isn't a bland-looking sandbox game, either; the city looks great, and lighting effects glance off cars effectively.
The handling takes a little time to get used to, because the engine seems geared towards over-the-top turns and drifts and breaking. But give it a chance, because once you get used to it, you'll enjoy the highlight-film moments.
And "Driver: San Francisco" has plenty of those. Yes, the plot makes zero sense, and yes, the main gameplay convention is so lacking in realism that it makes Niko Bellic look pretty benign.
But now, that doesn't diminish this game. "Driver: San Francisco" is a refreshing sandbox game. And if you haven't sickened of the genre yet, it's worth a look.

BMW develops laser head LED lights
It sounds very sci-fi, but BMW is developing a road-going laser headlight system set for launch on its flagship hyper-efficient performance car, the i8, in 2014.
It was Audi that pioneered LED daytime running lights, leaving the rest of the automotive industry scrabbling to keep up with its high-fashion automotive accessory, but unperturbed by the craze, BMW is bypassing LEDs altogether and reaching straight for the lasers.
BMW claims its laser lighting system, developed in conjunction with Japanese firm Nichia, is 1,000 times brighter and 100 times smaller than the conventional square cells currently used in LED lights.
In addition to the size advantage, the laser lights are much more efficient than LEDs and only consume around half the power.
With ever tightening emissions regulations and more and more importance being placed upon fuel efficiency, the reduced power consumption from laser lights will please the environmental enthusiast as well as the performance driver.
Interestingly, the increased brightness of a laser headlight over a conventional or LED setup raises the possibility of traditional headlamps being a thing of the past. This will see designers given an opportunity to create a much more dramatic impact in terms of the overall aesthetics of a vehicle.
We've all seen the warning signs on laser devices telling us not to look directly into the beam, but BMW's latest device has been designated a Class One laser.
This means no legislative hoops to jump through and no additional safety devices need to be employed for the system to be used on the road – in fact, the technology is similar to that used in the medical and military sectors already.
With a 10,000 hour life span, the new laser lighting system's longevity won't be called into question either.

BMW introduces its NEW design
The new BMW 6 Series Coupé features a long sweeping bonnet, set-back passenger compartment and flowing roof-line. Its now traditional BMW “shark nose”, with a large, forward-slanted BMW kidney grille, broad air intakes, wide, contoured bonnet and muscular wheel arches, allude to the powerful engine beneath. Inspired by the movement of water, the fluid lines of the car combine with the subtly curved surfaces to create a look of athletic elegance, which together with the 74mm increase in length and 5mm lower height creates a powerful stance.
Character lines stretching the full length of the body define the side view of the BMW 6 Series Coupé. The long, flat bonnet elongates the silhouette while the roof sweeps down in one fluid line, combining with the main body effortlessly, in an elegant coupé fashion, while the frameless doors and chrome side window border emphasise the tight lines of the typically BMW Hofmeister kink.
From the rear, bulging wheel arches and horizontal lines highlight the wide track of the new BMW 6 Series Coupé, alluding to its sporting performance and impressive road holding. Two-part rear light clusters give the typical BMW L-shape lights a particularly sporty, dynamic edge. Inside the units, two LED-powered light strips create a striking night-time look. The rear indicators and brake lights also use LED units.
Longer, lower and wider, the new car is larger in every dimension than its predecessor except height, where it now stands half a centimetre closer to the ground. At 4,894mm in length, the new model is 74mm longer than its predecessor, while the wheelbase has stretched similarly, to 2,855mm. The car has also grown by 39mm in width, and now measures 1,894mm across, while 5mm have been shaved off its height.
As standard the new BMW 6 Series Coupé is equipped with xenon headlights that have BMW’s familiar double corona look while high--quality chrome elements, such as the fog lamps consisting of a string of three LED units, on the outer edges of the front apron accentuate the width of the car.
Optional Adaptive LED Headlights are available for the first time and provide a bright white light, similar to natural daylight, with low beam and high beam LED light rings. Horizontal LED ribs are positioned in the centre of the light rings ensuring BMW’s hallmark twin round headlight look is expressed in a strikingly fresh way. More than just style over substance, the Adaptive LED lights automatically pivot and adjust to the line of the corner depending on the car’s speed, steering angle and yaw rate to provide the best visibility possible for the driver.

How To Choose The Right LED Car Light
Recently, LED lights as tyles of car accessories have became one of the most popular in motor-dom. Let's look at a car driven by standing on the road with you, you have daytime running lamps, turn signal lights License plate light, tail lights and LED displays a variety of uses. From Germany Audi, BMW, all major auto manufacturers such as Mercedes, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Japan, Kia, Korea Hyundai, Ford, Chrysler, GMC here in the United States to use their car LED was.
The new popularity of "fashion" and tended to be of more LED lights, LED products, the aftermarket car Afuretairu. Accordingly aftermarket LED lights, select the appropriate product, because it requires the installation process will be important for the purchase of this online shop. This car is a tutorial for you to find the right bulbs for LED bulbs you can buy ride read. Of the 2008 Honda Civic for instant LED lights let you change the license plate. Step 1: Getting Osuramushirubaniaranpu exchange visit, to understand the part of the license plate bulbs.
You simply select Google and Honda in 2008 Osubarubugaido can be found, please select the Civic on the next page. Submit your choice and all the car flexible lights that have the part number you listed (ramp) and the page will appear. This page is a lot of valve part numbers and other information and is harder to explain. All you need to have to scroll down the license plate light, and note the numeric part number is 168 in this case study. Step 2: You need the size of your light bulb, as LED Taimuraisensupuretoraito work better determine after determining the type of bulb.
There are two types of LED, conventional refraction, light bulbs, SMD is the latest new, SMT is (or surface-mount technology Surface Mount Device) LED bulb led. The LED on the refraction of light emitting plastic that is used to focus light refractors, such as water droplets have. For this characteristic, it has a very narrow angle for the emission of light. For this reason, many spots will light refraction LE.D., has been used as the angle of the light is more than 150 degrees. Meanwhile, the latest SMD SMT LED on the light-emitting surface has a flat. Flat surface, has a much wider angle so great flood light, and refraction are relatively brighter than the LED.
In addition, SMD LED for PCB substrate is easy to assemble, the 360 superb lighting angle - can be reached in time. LED is based on the difference between the two types of these to replace the parking lights and marker lights on the stock if you LED is used, and refraction The LED can illuminate a distance of more a better fit for the central lighting. In contrast, LED interior map, and when you replace the lights to read Furiraisensupuretoraito lit, LED SMD is a good job for the bright flood lights.
Thus, the license plate light, brighter than we buy refraction Choose from a wide angle. Step 3: bulb size and bulb type, LED Let's move after the decision of the last step of the color of the light bulb. Traffic laws and regulations of the United States, according to the exterior of the car, as well as a xenon white color are applied to the regulation. The ultra-lights in blue or Buririantoreddo Rui Akira. In the car, from the regulation at all. You have to express your individuality, but like you, to set the mood of the accents, you can choose any color.
