Editorial Review:
Fine-tuning the white-knuckled car chase formula of its predecessor, Driver 2 features more of the same high-speed, inner-city vehicular mayhem, and casts players once again as Tanner, a hard-boiled undercover cop who's posing as a badass getaway driver--this time, to stop an international mob war.
With computer-animated cinematic sequences doing the lion's share of the storytelling, players must guide Tanner through more than 40 action-packed missions in four different city settings, this time on foot--which primarily allows Tanner to carjack other vehicles--as well as behind the wheel.
While it can be of a lot of fun to play, Driver 2 is no joy ride. The missions can be quite unforgiving and require many restarts to complete, and the cops are quite determined--even at the "Easy" setting. Also, the game's coarse, choppy 3-D graphics often get in the way of things, with slowdowns disrupting the game's pace, and buildings and such popping up out of nowhere. --Joe Hon
Pros: - Drive like a bat out of hell in four different city settings
- Action now takes place on foot, as well as behind the wheel
- One- and two-player minigames add replay value
- "Film director" option lets players edit their own car-chase sequences
Cons: - Missions can be quite unforgiving--requiring many restarts to complete
- Coarse, choppy 3-D graphics make gameplay more difficult than it needs to be

Before there was Grand Theft Auto III(PS2, Xbox), there was Driver 2. When I was younger I would sit around for hours playing this game on my brother's PSone. Sadly, some of that fun I once felt has worn off in the wake of owning games like Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, San Andreas, Saints Row, and Crackdown which have vastly improved the car theft and missions seen in games today. However, even though these games made the formula more fun I still like to go back and play this game just to crash ... Read More

This is a fun game,and realistic too,also this game improves from Driver 1 instead of the same cop cars in the same cities you get different ones(I.E. Chicago has white-and-blue cop cars that go fast and have good endurance.And Havana has big black-and-white cop cars that r big with one siren and u can easily lose the cops in this city.) And the cities have different cars and styles.GRAPHICS:3/5:The graphics have actually dropped from the Driver 1,b-cos the cars look more blocky but you still get the realistic ... Read More
