It is simply astonishing how closely Driver 2 Advance plays to the Playstation version of Driver 2. First thing you'll notice are the great 3-D graphics and smooth controls. You get to steal any car you can find in order to proceed on your mission and you go through the cities of Chicago and Rio de Janero in Brazil (fans of the PS version will notice that the Havana and Vegas locations are missing) and the cities are fairly large, and the best part is you can pretty go anywhere in the city while fulfilling one of the missions. The simplicity of Driver 2 Advance is also a breeze and a lot of fun. This is how to port a great game to the GBA, the developers at Sennari far succeeded my expectations (I thought the game would be godawful) and have created one of the best GBA titles available right now. All in all, Driver 2 Advance is a great, fun game that GBA owners should definitely check out. I only hope the upcoming GBA port of Grand Theft Auto 3 follows the same blueprint that Driver 2 does.
Good but not great

I just bought this game yesterday, and have enjoyed playing it for several hours. It has good graphics(for a gba game),two huge levels to drive in,excellent driving games, the best driving physics ever on gameboy, and tons of levels. And new to the gba version is new multiplayer. That's right, 4 player driver!!! The best multiplayer is definitely cops n' robbers. One person is the robber, and however many others are playing(1-3)are the cops.This mode is so fun because it brings even more strategy to the game.
The sound on this game is absolutely horrible...if you use the speaker. With headphones on you can hear the music and car sounds.For instance, the van actually sounds different than a small car.
Now for 4star reasons. Although this game is 3D, it has some sprite and level design issues. There are 6 angles in total to your car, one behind,in front, and partial angle sideways from front and back. One of the things I liked about driver 2 for ps was the jumps and off ramps. And how could they take out the raising bridges!! Also there is no film editor or any replay due to save space.
Overall this is a good game to buy, especially if your friends have it too. If you've never played driver rent it or borrow it from a friend first.
GREAT GAME!

This is my favorite game for gameboy or gameboy advance. I've never played a game with better grapics, not to mention cool music, great gameplay, and fun but chalenging levels. If you like the Playstationversion of this game, you will defintly LOVE this game. You can play multi player multiplayer whitch is very cool, you can play undercover mode, witch has many different fun levels to play as you work as a detective, ther is also Take a ride where you can get chased by cops, take cars and vans, and even blow 'em up. this is over all a great game that I recomend to everyone.
Too much driving

As the name suggests, you imagine the game will have a lot to do with driving but I thought this game was F1! Apparently it is not as I was horrified to discover though there is a good get away in a Team Maclaren F1 in levels 8 and 9. Overall, if you bought this game you will most enjoy the helicopter shoot-out against Rick's foe Dimitry van der Lubbe in level 32. You will probably find the best bit is in level 21 when you have to drive a Panzer Tank into Dimitri's HQ! Its a great game!
this gameis the bomb

The grapics are good, it has nice 3D, although the car sprites could have been made up of more frames.
When you steer left or right, the back view car sprite turns to a complete new one without any in-between sprites to make a smooth steer.
There are some gfx issues. Car sprites pop up on a corner even though you didn't reach the point where you'd actually see the car.
Overall, the game feels exaclty as the PC version, although the frame rate could use some tweaking. Plus, you get GTA3 gameplay cause you steal cars and stuff.
RENT IT, then maybe buy.
It's better than the first one

Driver 2 is a mildly impressive technical feat...well, for a GBA game anyway. The 3D cityscapes (there are two, Chiago and Rio de Janerio) are enormous; your vehicles are easy to handle; the physics are keen; even the sensation of smashing into citizens,patio furniture and ohter cars feels pretty "right". Now if only the game were a little more exciting...D2's main story mode features and inpressive 30 missions, each of which has you doing essentailly the same thing: get from point A to B and sometimes C while avoiding traffic and a couple of cars on your tail. Sometimes things are mixed up a litle- slowly follow a car to point B, ram a car until it explodes, but it's not enough to stop you from thinkin "I could be at home raising some real hell on GTA 3 right now..."

I think this is one of the better GBA games but the graphics are kind of bad.I still think this is a very exciting game and the missions are cool.Overall I think this game is pretty good.
Any Driver 2 will ROCK!!

I feel good about this game because Driver 2 for PS was just so awesome. I only hope that in this Driver 2 you can hijack cars because theat was the best part. Even though Driver 2 won't be able to compete with Grand Theft Auto 3 for Game Boy Advance, it will still be a great game!!!
