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.

First off, the game does slow down every once and a while; but I only noticed that after I had been playing it for about 6 hours. I guess my console was tired. Everything from "Driver" is here in Driver2. Plus, when your car gets too damaged, you can hop out and "commandeer" another, fresh, vehicle from a "gracious" citizen of Havana. With the game containing 2 disks there are more cinematic scenes and a lot more game to play through. I for one love the game, and the 2 player capability should make it a title you will take out over and over again. (I haven't had the chance to bash up someone else, but the L.A. police are fine for now).

Good Idea bad Game

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.

My two cents on Driver .02

I own the original version and could'nt wait for Driver 2 to come out. There is a few changes such as roads that are curved, freeway on/off ramps, and the ability to hop into other vehicles whenever you choose. The down side of all this is all the other cars are basically the same as yours but just a different color. (unless you choose to hop in a slowwwwww truck or bus). The on/off ramps and overpasses are barricaded in so jumping off of them is out of the question. Also...along with other reviewers, I noticed that playing this game on PS1, the game stutters or slows down when the screen gets to crowded which is quite often And in my opinion more than in the original Driver. Also when you choose "play or try again" in the driving games mode, it again takes even longer to load than the original. Get used to seeing the word "LOADING" when playing this game. Maybe it plays better on PS2? In my opinion...If you dont own the first Driver, save your money and buy the first one.... If you think you just got to have both, dont expect too much more from Driver 2, Basically it's just different cities with different missions and not much more. .... HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

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.

Great game!

After enjoying every second of the original Driver game, I knew I would like this one. Driver remained my favorite PlayStation game until Driver 2 was released. This game has great graphics for a PS game, and gameplay is the best. Major improvements over the original are much more variety of cars, you can now get out of your car and take something else when yours is in too bad of shape (even something like a school bus or an armored car!), new cities with on/off ramps and curved roads, and some very fun 2-player modes like capture the flag. There are all kinds of missions, like following criminals without getting close enough to expose yourself or far enough away to lose him, and just getting somewhere in time to save your buddy. The cities are also very realistic, and there is real traffic. Even the cops strategise a lot to try to run you off the road. .... Although this is a great game, parents should be concerned about the violence in some of the between-play cutscenes.

Another hit

This game works off the same premise as the original but brings it to the extreme. This game has four totally new cities and all new cars. You can get out of your car and steal cars and trigger buttons, for example: in chicago you can get out of your car and hit the action button at the ticket booth which causes wrigley field opens up so you can do doughnuts around the pitcher's mound. This game is jsut absolutly amazin and will most likely be one of the top seller's this holiday season.
