OK kids here is the Real Don Steal. Remember in the first game when you got to LA and it was always raining. Remember how hard it was to drive the car and how much the Frame rate slowwed down due to the increase in activity on the screen i.e. more than 3 cars with in 10 feet of yours. Well sit down and buckle up cause the entire game of Driver 2 is like that. I played this game and when I put the controller down all I could say was WOW 32 bits have reached their limits. This game is like trying to play a PC game with mondo graphics on a 486. Bottem line It sux. Do not ruien that warm fuzzy felling you have for the first game by buying the second.

The first driver game was a sleeper hit, I got the game the day it was released because the title seemed interesting. This game was one of the best that I have played, it was not perfect the control was not the best but the game play more than made up for it. So when driver 2 came out i thought it was a no brainer get the game its got to be better. How wrong I was , well the game looks better but what does that say nothing there seems to be a framerate of 20 fps they have ruined the game i loved. how they could put this pile of crap out i cant understand a high speed chase seems to be all to slow, this is becomeing all to common, good game then a bad game.

I've had more fun with paper.

To be quite frank, this has to be one of the worst games ever. The storyline is really complicated, but even if you had the patience to watch the movie clips time and time again it's boring. The graphics look like someone painted cardboard boxes to look like buildings and called it Chicago. Controls are okay, though cars seem to make tight turns when you want soft turns and soft turns when you want tight ones. Not to mention that when on foot, the only directions that the "driver" can go is forward and slowly backwards. So if the "bad guy" is getting away your only chance of catching him is to rotate until you see a car, go forward, position yourself right in the exact front of the door, press triangle and hope that the "bad guy" is as drunk as the "driver" is. Also, the cop's AI is worse than George Bush's ability to think. If you go any faster than 2 miles per hour, or drive one inch away from the left side, or do anything that a normal person would do, you're gonna have cops ramming into your car. But most important, this game is not fun. It's frustrating. After two hours of trying to beat a train to a car you'll bash your Playstation with your fists. Hey, it's more fun, right?

I have not personally played this game, but I have seen my 9 year old play this. I did not buy this game for him, his mother did, but I have heard good things about it. The first time I saw it, I was in the room with my 9 year old, and my 3 year old. The game looked ok, but the concept of running from the police and stealing cars (he was in the Ride Along game) was a little too much for me to handle. I kept reading the manual, trying to figure out what was the concept of the game (and to help my son). My son had no idea what he was doing. He just knew it was so much fun to steal the cars, and run from the police. I have since read the reviews on this game, and now realize that my son needed to change the "game" and try to play the part of the game where he is supposed to find people or look for things. Still he would be running from the police and stealing cars. I asked my son why he kept stealing cars, and his response was that he had too because the police smashed his other one. He even tried to play the game where he drive correctly (speed limit and stoplight rules were followed), but the police still chased him.

My first response was that this game was not a good game for my 9 year old, and especially my 3 1/2 year old to see.
I was happy to see that this game was for TEENS, because I don't expect to see this game at my house for about 4 more years. He can keep it at his mother's house.

Two thumbs down

I did not find this game to be very exciting. Some of the levels are impossible and it seems like you have to restart 50 times before you can finally pass the level. How am I supposed to catch a guy throwing explosives out of the back when he never slows down enough so you can run him off the road? The cops seem to be difficult. You can be going full speed and the cops can still ram you from the back and send you flying into a building. I personally didn't think it was very fun. Now if you could walk into the buildings and explore a little more than pavement, it would be fun. If you want a game thats impossible and frustrating, try Driver 2.

Better , But Still A Let Down

Although better than the first driver, I think this game was a total let down. First of all, I thought you would be able to have a gun. This, like many other of my beliefs,was wrong. Although you were able to get out of your car and steel other cars, there was no point of doing this, because there were almost no other cars to steel. A third of the cars were the EXACT same car that you were. Another third was the same car as you, except a different color. The last third of the cars were a little bit different, for example most of them had really long and ugly fenders. I thought there would be better cars, as in porsches and ferraris. Finally there was two CDs. The second one, which may have been ok, was inaccessible unless you beat the first CD, which was IMPOSSIBLE. Not even supermen could complete the missions given to you, because the missions were really hard, and when you were about to beat them, the game would freeze. The only reason why I gave this game 1 star was because it was better than the last one, and the last one I gave 0 stars.

I recently got Driver part 1 and thought it was so fun, So I decided to pick up Driver part 2. Whoaaa what a mistake that was. Part 2 has to be probably the worse game I have ever played. The driving in this game is like those people on the road you just wanna scream at for driving so slow. The turns are way to tight. Unlike the first you can steal other cars but what's the fun of that if the game is wack.

The first Driver it's to fun to even think about playing driver 2. Remember Driver 2 was bought out by other company and when that happens the games ALWAYS GO DOWNHALL.

GET DRIVER 1 NOT DRIVER 2

Driver (the first 1) was one of the best games of 1999 so it was understandable that a follow up would be made. It's just such a shame that Driver 2 wasn't nearly as good as the first one or for that matter any, any other game for the PSone in 2000.

For a start the graphics are horrendous! They compare to the likes of the first Playstation games made- it just doesn't look real at all!
Secondly, the missions are way too hard! Unless you're a games expert you'll find even the easiest mission here hard and boring.
Thirdly, the gameplay isn't very smooth and when there's more things around you (e.g. cars and policemen), your car moves slower.
Lastly, the game is unrealistic in a bad way. You can't run people over and the Police are just stupid! Another incredibly false thing that takes place is you can often go for miles on a main road and not come near another car!

The only thing I'd say is enjoyable about Driver 2 is just "Taking A Ride" around Chicago and seeing how fast you can ram into another car. If you're looking for a PSone 'car' game then buy the original Driver. If you're looking for any car game then definitely get 'Vice City' instead.
