RECOMMENDED: DRIVER: RENEGADE/DUAL PEN SPORTS
Driver: Renegade 3D
Ubisoft caters to the 3DS audience with a special version of Driver. Dominic Sacco finds out what makes the portable version different
Dual Pen Sports
A mini-game collection that uses two stylus pens at once? Dominic Sacco takes a closer look at this innovative 3DS title
DRIVER: Renegade 3Dis the first action driving game on 3DS, and that makes it a tantalising prospect for buyers. Like the console version out on the same day, the 3DS game allows players to speed across an open world, take part in stunts and drive a variety of cars. But unlike Driver: San Francisco, Renegade is set in New York and takes place between the original Driverand Driver 2. Gamers play ex-cop John Tanner,
who takes the law into his own hands after saving senator Ballard’s life. He must take down five criminal masterminds – a drug dealer, a human organ trafficker, a pimp, an arms dealer and a trader. And, of course, doing so involves car chases and driving recklessly to take out other vehicles.
There are 20 story-based missions
to take part in and 50 cars to drive. There are seven types of challenges to complete, from Time Attack modes to Rampage and Elimination. In total there are over 80 challenges and tracks spread throughout New York that gamers can discover.

DUAL PEN SPORTS is the first 3DS title that encourages players to use two stylus pens at once. The title features a series of
sports-based mini-games, including football, baseball, archery, boxing, basketball, skiing and paragliding, as well as a daily sports challenge mode and reaction-based touch exercises. The bottom screen of the 3DS is used to display the different moves gamers can select, while the top screen shows the action. For example, during a penalty shoot-out, players use one stylus to control the player’s movements, while the other is used to move the legs and kick the ball. There’s even a range of
multiplayer modes that allow two players to go head-to-head. Namco Bandai says the title
‘provides an instant edge’ in the handheld and casual gaming markets, and with its 3D visuals and dual stylus gameplay, it’s easy to see why. With the likes of Wii Sportsand Mario & Sonic still popular, Dual Pen Sportsis in good shape to stimulate strong sales of its own.
