Not what you thought but not the worst of expectation

From the first half an hour of play, the game may seem like the biggest let down dued to the downgrade in speed and graphics from the first Driver however, these are simply small problems to give up for more options and things to do.

Though this game won't give you as much of a impression as Driver, it surely isn't a disappointment. Over time you'll overcome the flaws and discover that they are more to this game than it seems. You can get out of your current car if it's too damaged or you just don't like the colour of it and hope into a passing car, this is a very cool feature in which Infogrames have added. Play it some more and you'll find out that there are switches throughout the city which activate certain areas in the city that was previously hidden or closed. An example is to drive up to the Chicago Cub's stadium and walk to the front ticket booth and with a simple press of triangle, you'll press a button which will open up the gates to the back entrance which will let your drive onto the field. Then get out of your car and walk up the aisle to find a hidden surprise which I won't spoil for you. :)

Overall it's not the best of games but it's not the worst either. The Undercover mode will keep it strapped into your seat as you go through over 30 missions on 2 action packed CD. If your a fan of the first one, you'll love it. If you didn't even know this game existed, you'll love it. The only people that won't like it are the people that expected too much from the game however if you are one of them you would properly have the game already. The only annoying thing that I have found is that you can't get out of the car during a police chase and the game tends to slow down in framerate when there are too many cars on screen or the action gets intense, though it doesn't happen or the time. The ups of this game are that there are more ramps and jumps for all of you gamers that want to test out the car's aerodynamics and more of the city for you to explore.

Don't miss out on taking the Fire Truck or Police Car for a spin. If your tired just walk up to one of the chairs or benches in the game and press triangle to sit down and have a rest.

The wheelman is back and he's uglier than ever

Sure, this is a 32-bit game so the graphics won't be that hot, but boy is this game ugly. Infogrames should take lessons from Squaresoft on how to get the most out of the system (have you seen "Vagrant Story"? You should). But at least this thing plays well. It's just like the first except now you can steal cars which really adds to the replay value. If looks don't matter to you, add this one to your list.

the best

This game really suprized me, after the first driver i thought that it could never be beat, but driver 2 blows it away the roads are curved so its more realistic, and i love the featue of hijacking other cars, i highly sugest that you buy this appealing game :-)

I thought that Driver 2 was an amazing game.I also have Driver and didn't think you could better it,well i was wrong!!!

The best bit is the mix with GTA when Tanner can get out of his car and steal others.

A truely amazing game but isnt my top of the charts........?! WRESTLING is more my cup of tea!!

a great game

I borrowed this game for a while from a friend and I thought it was awesome. I am not too fond of the missions or multi-player mode but I think just the driving part is worth getting the game. The cities are very large and wandering around is lots of fun, the only downside to them is that one part of the town looks just like the rest of them.

Could have been a lot Better!

When Driver 1 was released, that had to be one of the greatest driving games around in 1999. Although, when Infogrames released Driver 2, I wasn't sure where they were heading. The first thing I noticed about Driver 2 was the way the graphics looked and how slower the frame rate was. The graphics looked very dry and had a used type look in which I wasn't pleased about. There's also frame problems when your car gets smashed into a building. Driver 2 has the same Survival driving mode, although not as exciting as in Driver 1. There's something about this game that makes the value go down. In Driver 1, you would just drive around Los Angeles in the downtown area, just enjoying the traffic and the cops chasing you. Driver 2 doesn't have that value -- even though you can play Las Vegas at night -- just doesn't make it. Although, its story does make up for the game, and the semi-realistic gameplay is present -- smashing cars up. I just don't have the enthusiam to play this game because of its lack of action and realism.

I loved Driver 1 and still play it today, but I have Driver 2 and it's just under my other playstation games--you're going to be dissappointed with Driver 2--if you loved Driver 1 in most cases.

My favorite ps1 game. 15th april 2004.

When i had it i was playing on it all the time, it is ever so obsessive. Once you start playing on it you don't want to come off it. There are different driving games on it, but i only go on the driver game. You can drive like you were driving for real life, but the police cars can catch you easy. ACEEEEEEEEEEE!

Awesome Game, Tons of Fun

I bought this game for my ps, played for 8 hours straight, and i still love this game. I think that if you like racing or action games, this is the one for you. If you liked Driver or GTA, quit reading here and order. If you haven't played those, i'll tell you more. You basically drive a car as fast as you can, all the while avoiding police cars, blockades, tailing other vehicles, and even stealing a few. This is the best game i have played since Team Fortress Classic for the pc.

The action is fast-paced, nonstop, with a thumping 60's style soundtrack, and the sound effects are awesome.

The only place that the game lacks is in the graphics category. The graphics could have been better, but, the action and speed well make up for it.

Well, order the game, and enjoy the ride!

Awesome game! But graphics are a little choppy even with PS2

Awesome game! The graphics and the detail need work, but that's all. It was a great idea for going on foot and doing a "Grand Theft Auto" felony. This game is very fun but after playing it for an hour or so, it gets quite boring. I hope my reveiw helped. Thanx.

Good points, and Bad points

The idea behind the game is very good, and I believe that we will see great games like this in the fuure. Indeed, i would like to see a game that essentially combines a Driver type game with a flight simulator, providing a more thorough 'life' simulation. At any rate, I feel that Driver 2 was a rather sloppy release. The graphics are not very sharp, the popup makes it very hard to see what is not so far ahead of you. Many of the missions are so difficult, that I had to attempt them 20 or 30 times before I was lucky enough to finish them. Needless to say, I still have not gotten to Rio or Vegas... what they really lack here, I believe, is a setting for difficulty levels. The game is perpetually on 'Extreme'. Personally, I like a game to be challenging, as well as fun. I do not find Driver 2 to be fun.
