Product Description

Amazon.co.uk 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, casting players once again as Tanner, a hard-boiled undercover cop who is posing as a bad-ass 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 joyride. The missions can be quite unforgiving, requiring 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



Product Description

Violence threatens to ignite America when a US crimelord's money-man cuts a deal with his greatest rival, a Brazilian gangster. Tanner teams up with Tobias Jones and they head out, undercover, to try and keep them apart. What does the money-man know? Where's he hiding? Who's Rosanna Soto? What else is between the crimelord and the gangster? How long has Tanner got to find out?

With four new cities, including Chicago, Havana, Las Vegas and Rio de Janeiro, curved roads and flyovers, 30 cars to drive and five two-player driving games Driver 2 will have you struggling to work your way through the 40 undercover missions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nobody's perfect, 16 Jan 2001
Long-awaited doesn't begin to describe the follow up to the classic Driver. It's certainly been improved in a few significant areas - the cities are bigger and more varied, there are more cars to drive and the in-game menu doesn't take you back to the title screen every 2 minutes. There are some new spins on old missions and entirely new ideas, chasing an ambulance with police tailing you is much harder than it sounds. Add to that more intelligent traffic which doesn't stop dead after an accident (and smarter cops), bigger and better cities and great graphics and you should be onto a winner.

There are some major "buts". On a PSone the game slows down too often, plus there are major flaws in the graphics (in Havana, trucks often appear literally from nowhere). There's also nothing quite as hard as "The President's Run", the finale from the original Driver's Undercover game, and can we please have the speedometer back? Let's not forget too that it's almost turned into Grand Theft Auto in 3D, not an original concept.

Overall though, it's more of the same, only better. If you liked the original, you'll probably be turned on a treat by this. Here's looking forward to Driver 3 (out 2002 according to the end-game credits)...

3.0 out of 5 stars Great gameplay, shame about the graphics...., 6 Dec 2000
By Mr. Paul A. James "pajster" (South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Driver 1 was a classic, and with additional features promised for Driver 2, I bought this without question. True, the "get out of the car and nick other vehicles" feature is excellent, the missions are pretty involving, and the new cities are well designed. But Playstation graphics can be better than this. The pop-up of buildings can be quite alarming, particularly when you're tearing down the road to a T-junction and a colossal towerblock appears 50 metres in front of you. And in only a week of gameplay, I've found a number of "bugs" (game hanging, my car disappearing through walls into no man's land etc). Whereas in Driver 1 you would complete a mission and be offered a choice of further missions, Driver 2 is, disappointingly, more linear, with just one defined route to take. My recommendation, buy this when the heat is off and the price is reduced!

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy game, 28 Jan 2001
I thought that this game was easy when i bought it, i completed the undercover missions on the 3rd night of having it, the 2 player mode lets this game down alot though, you can tell that they didn't spend much time on it at all. With no more angles to look from apart from the front bumper, but the story line is superb, i didnt have driver 1 but i can't wait until Driver 3 comes out in 2002, i will certinately buy it.
