Driver: San Francisco is an action-advture driving video game and the fifth installmt in the Driver series. Developed by Ubisoft Reflections and published by Ubisoft, it was released in September 2011 for the PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows, with an edition for Mac OS X in March 2012. The game has players traverse a fictional represtation of San Francisco and the Bay Area, conducting missions through the use of licsed real-world cars, with the ability to Shift into any car in the game's setting in most platform editions. The game's main story sees players controlling John Tanner, a police detective, who falls into a coma pursuing his nemesis Charles Jericho following a prison breakout after the evts of Driver 3 (Driv3r), and finds himself piecing together his plan in a dream world while it is happing in real life.
The game received favorable reviews upon its release, with the exception of the Wii edition which received mixed reviews. A mini-comic series was released which provides plot details of the evts betwe Driv3r and San Francisco, with the game receiving a collector's edition that includes additional multiplayer vehicles and single-player evts.
In San Francisco, the player can switch to another car at any time using the "Shift" ability. For the first time in the series, the game features licsed cars.

The game was also described as a "return to the roots" of the series as the ability to get out of the car, which was introduced in Driver 2, was removed and replaced with the ability to Shift (teleport) into other cars, as the developers felt that too many games had this kind of feature already and "it wasn't desirable [for us] to just copy that exact mechanic".
With Shift, the player can also start or continue missions. As well as the ability to use Shift, all cars are equipped with a 'boost' feature, requiring the player to push up on the left thumbstick to use it. Players can also push L1 on the PlayStation 3 or the left shoulder button on the Xbox 360 version of the game to perform a special 'ram' attack on cars. The film director mode, which was abst from Parallel Lines, also returns, and players can share their videos on the Driver Club website.
Split scre and online multiplayer are also available for the first time in the series with 19 differt game modes including trailblazer, tag, sprint GT, cops and robbers, among others. In Trail Blazer, the players have to follow the trail of an AI-controlled car to accumulate points. The player who accumulates more points will win the match. The Tag game mode is similar to regular tag, but in reverse. All the players are trying to "tag" or hit, one player. Once he is hit, the person who tagged him is now it.

San Francisco is unique from other games in the series in that the game features licsed real-life cars. There are a total 140 fully damageable vehicles based on real-life models, ranging from buggies and compact cars to muscle cars and sport cars. The automobile marques featured in the game include Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, Btley, Cadillac, Chevrolet, DeLorean, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Hummer, Lamborghini, Lincoln, McLar, Pagani, Ruf, Shelby, and Volkswag.
The Wii version of the game does not include the "Shift" mechanic, but allows players to use guns while driving. The SMG, the pistol, the shotgun, the assault rifle and the RPG are all the weapons available in the game. All weapons can be upgraded in the following categories: clip size, reload speed, and damage. There is a maximum of four levels for each upgrade. Upgrade points can be earned by doing various tricks and earning awards around the city. A new feature for the Wii is the localized multi-player, where a second player may take control of the gun or, if they desire, can connect a DS, DSi or 3DS system through download play. The DS device can be used to make roadblocks, look for police and buy player 1 some more time through playing various mini games. There is also a four player split-scre multiplayer. The split scre mode includes four game variants. The variants are Capture the flag, in which the players must grab a flag and drive it to a specific location, Pass the Bomb, in which players must pass a bomb from car to car before a timer counts down, ding the game, Gold Rush, in which the players must grab a bag of money and hold on to it for points, and elimination, in which players must race each other. There is also a cops and robbers split scre mode.
The game's setting focuses on a fictionalized represtation of San Francisco, along with the surrounding regions of Marin County and Oakland, recreating the geography, geralized layout of the city, and notable landmarks including the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge and the Gold Gate Bridge. The recreation features around 208 miles (335 km) of roads,

Though the amount of roads and territory in the setting is reduced in the Wii edition, as the main bridges of the city are blocked.
The evts of the game take place six months after the evts of Driv3r; a mini-comic series provides background on evts during the six-month period.
On the other hand, the plot of the Wii version differs from the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles, Windows and Mac versions; it serves as a prequel to the original Driver.
