Final Note and Thanks Messages ==================================================================== 1. I N T R O D U C T I O N ==================================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.1 G a m e I n f o -------------------------------------------------------------------- Driver is the sequel to the massive Driver by newcastle-based developer Reflections. The original Driver was the biggest selling game ever in the UK, so it's hardly surprising that it sprawned a sequel. Once again you play Tanner, who quit his undercover cop job at the end of Driver, so now you are working as a private agent trying to sort out a war between Solomon Caine and (brazilian blokey) before a huge war breaks out. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2 F e a t u r e s -------------------------------------------------------------------- Driver 2 features: - 2 discs of action - Better storyline - Curved and layered roads - 4 new cities (see section 3 - city guide) - Ability to get out of the car and walk around and hijack other cars - More intelligent cop AI - Split-screen 2-player mode - More vehicles including buses, trucks etc. - Cool FMV - Decent story, new characters - Better pedestrian AI - More variety to the mission ==================================================================== 2. R E V I E W S ==================================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 Z o n e t ' s R e v i e w -------------------------------------------------------------------- I loved Driver. It was a simply great game which was fun to play and looked simply great. So when Iheard about a sequel to the best-selling game, I was delighted. Eventually more details were announced like curvy roads, on-ramps, multiplayer options, 2 discs, and a great looking FMV and graphics. So how did Reflections get suck a good idea so wrong? Well lets start with the graphics. When you enter Driver 2 you straight away notice that the menu screens are neater and more organized. It all looks very professional at this point. But when you actually play the game you see how rough everything is. The buildings look rough and sometimes disappear if you go up close. The cars also seem to have lost the clever lighting tricks from the first game. The cars are smaller, which sometimes makes them hard to see, and the pop-up is simply awful. It's worse than from the first game. It looks very much like Reflections couldn't care about Driver 2. It looks amateurish. It looks unfinished. Maybe this was becuase the Playstation doesn't have the power to draw the game well, or maybe it is because the graphics aren't that important, but whatever the reason, the looks of the game is poor. Gameplay wise, Driver 2 picks itself up quite a bit. The curved roads definately add to the driving experience and are a welcome addition. However the other 'improvements' seem to have been thrown in and not properly tested. Multiplayer is fun, but you can only play from the AWFUL in-car view. And the abiliaty to get out of the car was a good idea, but controlling Taner on foot isn't exactly easy, and getting into other cars is made stupidly hard (you have to walk right up to the door). Lets be fair though. There are 40(?) (see section 9) new missions which are more varied than those in Driver. They have been tested well although they do seem to be ridiculously hard at times. There are now missions where you have to find your way out of a maze, follow another car without it seeing you, or destroy the truck that throws bombs at you. These are great fun and do make Driver 2 a better game. There is no way you can accuse Driver 2 of not trying. Reflections must have tried dearly to make Driver 2 a better game, seeing as there wasn't much room for improvement after Driver and the limits of the now ageing Playstation. But it seems their 2 steps forward has taken them a step back. I liked Driver a lot. It came out of nowhere to become one the biggest selling game that the UK ever saw. It sold millions and launched Relfections into stardom after numerous set-backs prior to its release. I guess my expectation were high for Driver 2, but somehow the game just doesn't work. The bugs that flaw the game aren't just annoying, they ruin the game completely. I have had numerous complaints about disc 2 of the game not working at all, so you only see half the game. I'm sure Driver 2 will be a success and will sell well, but with the Playstation 2 now out and games such as Gran Turismo 3 approaching, Driver 2 looks stone-age in comparison. I hope for better things with Driver 3, Reflections. Take note. --------------------------------------------------------------- Graphics Glitchy, pixelated 6 Gameplay Fun, but too hard at times, and too buggy 8 Sound & Music Music is poor, sounds are fairly good 7 Lifespan Long lived, multiplayer is cool too 9 --------------------------------------------------------------- Overall Score A good idea, but let down by poor graphics 80% and too many bugs --------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.2 N e t R e v i e w s -------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are some more reviews of Driver 2 found across the internet. Copy and paste the address into your browser window. - http://www.totalgames.net/PSX/reviews/d-f/driver2B.html - http://www.zdnet.com/gamespot/stories/reviews/0,10867,2653202,00.html - http://psx.ign.com/reviews/14153.html - http://www.dailyradar.com/reviews/game_review_1048.html - http://www.tgn.com.au/playstation/reviews/driver2.html - http://www.psxextreme.com/scripts/reviews/review.asp?revID=170 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.3 A K - 4 7 x ' s R e v i e w s -------------------------------------------------------------------- Being a big fan of Driver, I came to have some expectations of what Driver 2 would be like. I wasn't dissapointed. As far as gameplay goes, Driver 2 rocks! The control is as tight as ever and the variety of vehicles to choose from is awesome. I've seen and heard from other sites and mags that Driver 2 suffers graphically and is a stepback from Driver. That is not true, What is really going on is that the PSX hardware is showing it's age, especially with the new PS2 already selling out everywhere. It's not hard to see how people can start to compare even if it's and unconsciously. So I think that with that in mind people should see Driver 2 for what it is , a truly excellent game. It's not perfect, but it's really good. The new additions that Reflections were able to add make Driver 2 twice as rewarding as the first one. Just the ability to wander around on foot makes it two games in one. There are many secrets to be found just driving or walking around town. The two player mode is ok, but I have to say that not being able to switch out of the in car veiw was a real bummer. The CG movies have improved over Driver and do a much better job of telling the story . All of the added elements , 2 player, carjacking, secret switches, etc, more than make up for a little slowdown here and there. Overall I recomend Driver 2 to everyone. Go buy it! FINAL SCORE - 4/5 ==================================================================== 3. C I T Y G U I D E ==================================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.1 C h i c a g o -------------------------------------------------------------------- Chicago is a nice city. It has a good road layout that is unconfusing and the freeways on the outer area of the city really rule for some high speed chasing. The missions here are easy mainly becauseof the nice wide roads and easy going corners. There aren't many evil tricks here like blind corners (you get those in Havana) which overall makes Chicago a pleaseurable exeprience. So far Chicago is my favourite city, but we will have to wait and see what the other 2 are like... -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.2 H a v a n a -------------------------------------------------------------------- Havana is definately a new experience for Driver gamers. It requires a very different driving style to any other city in Driver 2. The streets are narrow and very windy (the curved roads really come into their own here - though they often become annoying aswell because they are so difficult to drive around :) ) and also seem to be layed out in a confusing maner. A lot of them come close together but don't actually touch which is incredibly frustrating. Still Havana is a unique experience, both in the game and in real life. You drive some abysmal 1950's cars which look as bad as they drive. The detail here is quite incredible. In the many back alleys there are washing lines with clothes on, litter, boxes and so on which are good fun to smash through. The tunnel in the northern area is a good example of how the new curved roads increase the fun of driving around. So overall Havana is a fair city. It's confusing and, at times, frustrating but is still a different experience and involves all your driving skills. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.3 L a s V e g a s -------------------------------------------------------------------- It's back to America for the next city and we are out in the desert of Nevada. In this city you really get to see what a difference the curved roads make. They really improve the game and driving exprience here. Most of the roads are diagonal and have lots of corners on them so this is a nice area. Also in the far North-West there is an open desert (where Beat the Train takes place - see section 7.4) with a train line. This is great fun especially in Big Bird (the big yellow pick-up). You must go and see that area. It's something totally new that wasn't in Driver (unless you got rammed through the wall and started driving on air ^_^). So Vegas is a cool place. I still haven't worked out where The Strip is but I am certain It's in there somewhere. Unfortunately you can not go on that ride that's up in the air on top of that building. As you can see my knowledge of Vegas is pretty poor :D ==================================================================== 4. C A R G U I D E ==================================================================== There are lots of cars you come into contact with in Driver, and each one is slightly different. The sports cars are pretty similar so I will not deal with each of them in turn. But the bigger vehicles like buses and trucks are very different. Buses - These are slow, probably the slowest vehicles in the whole game. It's really not a good idea to grab one of these unless you are looking for a quick laugh driving around in a way oversized vehicle. Trucks - These are slightly faster, but the same rules really apply as to the bus. They are slow and pretty useless as getaway vehicles, Fire Trucks - These are slow, but they have an added attraction - you can use the siren. Press R1 to operate it. Unfortunately the other cars do not get out of the way and the police still chase you (you could be on the way to a fire :) ) Sports Cars - OK, the massive american beasts that you drive in Driver 2 aren't exactly sports cars, but these cars are much faster. Despite being ridiculous, they are your best bet for escaping from those mad cops (the cops drive these cars aswell) Limos - The biggest load of shite I've ever driven in my life. Big, boxy, crap handling, generally awful. And you don't get to meet any stars :( Secret Cars - There are 3 secret cars in the game (see section 7) and they are all very much like the sports cars, except they are ultra cool. I love the Yellow and Black car found in Chicago. Unfortunately it doesn't look as good as it did on the back of the Driver box :( Cop Cars - There are some areas where you can steal a cop car parked at the side of the road. Also you sometimes can steal them at roadblocks when they are all smashed up. But they aren't very good. Nothing special, and are often smashed when you get into them. When you steal a cop car your Felony meter fills. Ambulances - There is an ambulance in Las Vegas. Go to the highway near downtown and you can jump into an ambulance parked there. ==================================================================== 5. G E N E R A L T I P S ==================================================================== *coming very soon* ==================================================================== 6. M I S S I O N T I P S ==================================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.1 I n t r o d u c t i o n -------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 5 types of missions you find in Driver 2. They are as folowing: Getaway - Evade the cops. They are on your tail and you have to lose them (and often get to a destination aswell) Go To - Drive to a location, no cops chasing at the beginning Chase - Follow (and possibly destroy) a car speeding through town and trying to evade you Tail - Follow a driver from a safe distance. Get too close or far away and you fail -------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.2 G e t a w a y -------------------------------------------------------------------- Of course this is the main point of Driver 2 - escpaing the cops. I was surprised at the small number of missions that involve escaping the cops. It is rather disappoiting. However there are some, so here is how you get away. The cops are seriously evil and do their best to smash you to pieces. Most likely this is because you can get out of your car and get into another. If you have a high Felony, if you manage to lose the tail, press Up + Triangle to get out of the car, and into another one - you lose all Felony and Damage and can drive cleanly. :) Escaping the cops IS harder in Driver 2 than Driver. They are quite a bit smarter. But there are still a couple of tricks that usually work. The first is to gently top a civilian car. It will hopefully block the cop's path allowing you to run off into the distance :) It is once again possible to smash the cops to pieces. Stop and hit the cop car as hard as you can in reverse. The harder you hit it, the more damage is done. Do this 2 or 3 times and it will be disabled (listen out for the siren fading out - and a "We lost him" from the dumb copper). Then get out of your car and into another one. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.3 G o T o -------------------------------------------------------------------- These missions are as plain as you can get, though there are some twists. Most of the time you have to simply drive to somewhere (look on the map to see where that is), get there within the time limit, and park up. In Driver 2, unlike the original, there are several things you might have to do after going to wherever it is you have to go. A lot of the time you will have to open a door and park the car in the garage. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.4 C h a s e -------------------------------------------------------------------- The chase missons are notoriously difficult, and I'm not sure why. Basically the idea is simple - follow car trying to escape you and smash it to pieces. The enemy car drives very well and will try anything to escape from you including some simply evil tricks. Often it will smash into other cars blocking your way (be very careful of this in Havana), or turn into a corner at the very last minute. The best way to win these missions is to follow the car, pull alongside it and then ram it in the side as hard as you can. The harder you hit the person, the more damage is done. Also note that in several missions like this, you also have to drive the vehicle you chased to a location (see GoTo mission help - section 6.3) -------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.5 T a i l -------------------------------------------------------------------- These missions are new in Driver 2 and are a welcome addition, however they get dead boring after a while. They are so easy to do, follow another car from a safe distance. Get too far away and you lose him, too close and he sees you. So you have to stay the right distance apart. See the Red and Green bar in the top-left corner. Try to keep the black marker in the green. If it goes into the Red Tobias Jones gives you a shout and you also get a message telling you to back off or speed up. If the line goes off the edge of the bar, you fail. Even though you probably wont need it, here are a few pointers. When the car stops at a junction or red light, stop well back. It is tempting to just pull up behind him, but then he sees you. And also beware of him deciding to change his mind and turn around. Reverse as fast as possible and stay well back, then pick him up once he's out of range. ==================================================================== 7. M I S S I O N W A L K T H R O U G H ==================================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.1 I n t r o d u c t i o n -------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding a mission in Driver 2 hard? Want some help? Jiust want to improve on a certain area of the game? Well you are in the right place. We have created a huge Driver 2 Walkthrough here that includes EVERY mission in Driver 2. * This section is currently unfinished due to the fact that I haven't actually reached every mission in Driver 2 yet. This place will be updated as often as possible so check back regularly for the latest on the Driver 2 scene. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.2 C h i c a g o -------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 01 - Surveillance Tip-Off Time: 2:55 Type: GoTo Drive out and go left, then left again, then right. At the junction ahead go left then take the second right (not the immediate turning). You should now be heading north on a long road. This road then bends left. At the end of the bend go right, this road also bends left, again go right at the exit of that bend. Finally make a left and cruise upto your target. Look on the map to see exactly where you need to go. Press Up + Triangle to get out of your car, walk up to Jones' and press Triangle to get in. Easy. MISSION 02 - Chase the witness Time: 0:59 Type: Chase You have to follow the blue car for a minute - not good fun. This mission will test your driving to the limit. He doesn't always take the same route so be alert. Do your best not to crash either. You don't actually have to wreck the car, just follow it to the station, so don't crash, and don't try to get clever with it. He just escapes onto the train as you aproach. MISSION 03 - Train Pursuit Time: 2:00 Type: Chase Follow the train. Very much like The Informant out of Driver. Anyway you jump straight inot a rolling start from the movie so don't get caught out by that. Fight through the sand hills trying to keep control of your car, then bomb it under the train tracks. Where do the tracks go? Well they are makred on your map as cream coloured lines so follow them. Watch out though. Near the start he has the choice to go either straight on or left. He always goes left here. Later on near the end there is another junction. Look out for that aswell. MISSION 04 - Tailing the Drop Time: Varies Type: Tail This is the first of the new 'Tail' missions in Driver 2. There isn't really any special trick to this mission. Just follow the insturctions listed in section 5.5 above. MISSION 05 - Escape to the Safehouse Time: 3:40 Type: Getaway Damn! The cops have cottoned on to you and Tobias and they want you, and you alone! Noe you need to lose the cops. There is quite a cool glitch you can exploit. Drive as quick as you can and lose the cops, then get out of your car and into another one. The Damage and Felony bars are reset to 0 and you can drive safely to the safehouse. You need to hurry though as the timer is always counting down. MISSION 06 - Chase the Intruder Time: Varies Type: Chase Some git just smashed your face in, so you want to catch him. In the alley, take the sports car (not the van) and speed out in chase. MISSION 07 - Caine's Compound Time: 2:50 Type: Other Hmm, this is an interesting, and the first mission that actually makes you think about what you have to do. Grab a car and smash your way out. Turn around and head South. Some vans now drive into your path trying to block it. You have to choices. Either find a way around it, or ram the ass :) Keep heading South and eventually you will reach a large warehouse that leads onto the main road. Go out onto the main road (the yellow van start following you now) and turn left (North). Go all the way as far north as you can and turn right at the end of the road. Enter the warehouse area here too. Now head south like you did before and eventually you will reach the end. Jump over the bridge and it's job done. The time limit here is quite strict aswell, so you have to hurry. MISSION 08 - Leaving Chicago Time: 3:30 Type: Getaway This isn't a hard mission, but it is a night-time and rainy one. The surface water makes your car slip and slide around a lot and cornering can be tough. Look at the map and plan a route that uses as few turns as possible, because it's on the corners that the cops really cane you hard. There is plenty of time so don't be frightened of that. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.3 H a v a n a -------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 09 - Following Up the Lead Time: Varies Type: Tail Another tail mission, and this one is rather longer. It is easy to lose him in the narrow Havana streets, but as you can't get too close check on the map to see where the driver went. He is shown as a whiteish dot along the roads which are makred as red lines. Halfway through he decides to change his mind and turns around. Reverse as fast as you can, and stay well away. Then follow him again once he has driven off the correct way. This mission shouldn't really be very hard for you. MISSION 10a - Hijack the Truck Time: Varies Type: Chase + Getaway Oh, my! This mission is totally mad. You have to follow a truck and smash it up, while avoiding its protector car which is trying to destroy you! The easiest to do this is to get up on the inside of it when it makes a turn and ram its inside as hard as you can. Keep doing this a few times until the driver makes a run for it. Now destroy the silver car by smashing into it recklessly several times. Get out of your car and into the truck. MISSION 10b Time: Varies Type: GoTo OK, you have plenty of time to get this truck to a lockup. See the map to see where it actually is. The truck is fo course completly wrecked now almost, so watch your step when driving it. Don't crash into anything. Find the back alley where the lockup is and get out. Look for the building with a dodgy grey door, and a button next to it (that is the lockup). Get out and push the button, park inside, and close the door. Job done. MISSION 11a - Stop the Truck Time: Varies Type: Chase Sheesh! This is even worse than the last mission! You have to smash up a truck while it throws bombs at you. Luckily it just drops bombs out the back so you can pull out from behind the truck and pull alongisde it. Once you've done that, smash its side as hard as you can. Then repeat the process. Once you've done it 2 or 3 times, the driver will run away. MISSION 11b Time: Varies Type: GoTo Now time to get this truck to safety. You have to go to the same lockup as in Mission 10 and fortuinately it is practically straight ahead as you. Keep going along the freeway avoiding crashing into other cars. There is more than enough time for you to take this bit easy, making sure you don't shake up the bombs too much cauing the truck to explode. Park up the truck in the lockup like you did before and then it's another truck safely away where it can't do damage. Good work, Tanner! MISSION 12 - Find the Clue Time: 7:00 Type: Chase Man, this is one tough mission. After the phone call turn around and get into the brown car. Turn around and then make a left turn, you should now be heading East. Hunt down the first car as quickly as you can. Ram it as hard as you can cauing as much damage as possible. He is a pretty crap driver so he should be pretty easy to smash up. Just don't waste time, you need as much as possible later on. Once you have him wrecked, get out of your car and into his. No clue. Get out of his car and into either your old one, or steal someone elses because yours is badly damaged. Now head backwards towards the second car. You should get a good chance to cause a nasty head-on collision which causes a lot of damage. Destroy this car like you did the first one. Check his car. Still nothing. Now go after the third car. Once you reach it, it is harder to destroy because he is a better driver. Hopefully you still have around 4:00 left becuase you need all the time you can get to smash up the last 2 cars. Wreck them like you did the first 2 cars, and check them. Once you reach the last car you will find the clue. It is a tough mission though because the time is so tight. MISSION 13 - Escape to the Ferry Time: None Type: GoTo This is the easiest mission so far thanks to a very cool bug. Get out of your car and run towards the ferry. Any nearby cops wont even turn an eye at you and you can waltz straight past. When you get close to the ferry port, steal someone's car, go flat out towards the port, and launch onto the ferry. Remember to stop on it and not over-run it. MISSION 14 - To the Docks Time: 3:40 Type: GoTo Here you have to basically get from one end of Havana to the other quickly. Once the boat comes into port speed off. Get out onto the road and turn left. Here is a tricky bit. You have to find the tunnel entrance which actually runs underneath the road you are on. Look closely at the map and find the way in. Speed through the tunnel where you will probably meet a few rozzers. Drive as fast as you can and they will smash into the other drivers on the road! Once you get out the other end, speed straight forwards. Up head a roadblock is set up. Carefully go around it on the footpath, and then speed off. By now you should have lost the cops. When this road ends, turn left, then take second right, then first left. Now you have to follow this coastal road around until the end. Drive into the warehouse area and then find the slightly hidden arrow. If you manage to lose the cops anywhere, switch cars and get a clean one. The cops are relentless here. MISSION 15 - Back to Jones Time: 2:30 Type: GoTo The hardest thing about this mission is finding your way out of the warehouse area. Drive forward past the big grey box, and then the exit is on your left. Now you have to go out the way you came in. Continue back up the coastal road and you will find Jones no problem. Look on the map though and find where to go if you get lost. This isn't a hard mission but it always helps not to attract too much police attention. MISSION 16 - Tail Jericho Time: Varies Type: Tail Another Tail mission. Jist follow the instructions in section 5.5 and this will be easy as pie. Just try not to lose him in the narrow Havana streets. MISSION 17 - Pursue Jericho Time: Varies Type: Chase This is a harder mission. Jericho drives very well and smashing him up the normal way would be very hard. But there is a small bug. First get into any car (not the bus) and drive off as quick as you can. What you must do is fly into the alley way really quickly and if you have some luck you will get ahead of Jericho's car. All you have to do now is slow down and block his path. Try to destroy his car by blocking it. This is made easier by the alley way. You should do this mission within a few seconds if you get it right. Good luck. MISSION 18 - Escape the Brazilians Time: None Type: Getaway This is tough. First change car and get a clean one. Then drive out in the direction of your destination. After a while some normal looking cars will start trying to ram you off the road. These are rivals of yours. They drive better than the cops and can smash you up very quickly. Keep the gas help down and go flat out, you wont out-run them but you will be able to stay just ahead. To lose them, pass a civilian car and weave infront of it. The chase car hopefully will hit the civilian and slow down. This is a difficult mission and one i got stuck on for some time. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.4 L a s V e g a s -------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION 19 - Casino Getaway Time: 2:50 Type: GoTo One of the easiest missions in the game. You are working for Caine now and need to help him make a swift getaway from a casino hold up. Drive in your 'big bird' pickup truck and get to the casino. Then go to the lock up shaking the cops at once. You can drive just as fast as them so go flat out and simply outrun them. Once you get to the lockup, drive in. The door is even open for you. This couldn't be easier though the night does make it harder. MISSION 20 - Beat the Train Time: 0:45 Type: Other This is definately new. You have to beat a train and rescue someone trapped in a car that's about to be struck by it ^_^ So anyway you have to get a perfect run or you won't make it in time. Drive as fast as possible. A bridge comes up quite soon so move left and go through that fence. Now go as fast as possible until you are ahead of the train. Now go onto the track and enter the rail tunnel/bridge type thing. Stop infront of the car and get into it, then drive as fast out and onto that arrow. You will just do it in time if you get it perfect ^_^. Good luck. This mission also makes an effective replay aswell. ==================================================================== 8. C H E A T S & B U G S ==================================================================== -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.1 S e c r e t C a r s -------------------------------------------------------------------- - Chicago - Yellow Car Do you remember the yellow car with the black stripes that was supposed to be in driver 1? If you do, good, if not here's your chance to get a look at it. When your in Chicago go to a place in the city called Wrigley Town.( it will be at the top of the city) Around there will be the Chicago Cubs Stadium (Wrigley Field) and at one of the corners of the stadium will be a door with the word tickets at the top. Then go up to it and press triangle. There are 4 doors so try them all. When you get the right door the gate at the opposite corner will open and you unlock a secret area and you can drive inside the stadium and on the field! Get out of your car and there will be a set of stairs that will lead you to a hallway. Follow that hallway and it will take you to an underground garage where your new car will be! See www.limbo.com.br/yellowcar/ for an illustrated guide - Havana - Mini You wanna see a very weird looking mini car that's pink and white and small but fast. When you first start out in Havana press start and go to the map. The tunnel nearest to you will have a road near it that looks like it goes now where. Drive down that road and you should end up at an underground garage. To open the gates the switch is to the right near some trees. You unlock a secret area when the gates open. Inside will be a road that leads underground. Go down there. When you're down there, there will be three roads to your left, take the last one. It will lead you to a big machine to your left. Then take a left then a right and to your left will be one road that will lead to the mini. Press the button on the wall in the back of the room and the platform the car is on will lower, then get in and the platform will raise to the surface with your new car. See www.limbo.com.br/littlecar/ for an illustrated guide - Las Vegas - Pickup Truck Remember the truck in LA in Driver 1. Well, there's one like it in Driver 2. It's a blue colored truck. When you start out in take a drive get on Paradise Road and follow it down until you get to Flamingo Road and take a right. Follow this road and take a left on your first turn. Follow this road down and on your six road take a left. Follow this road and stop when you have a choice of going straight or right. Instead go left and you should be facing one building with big gates on each side. The right gate is already open and when you go in the switch is on the left. That switch opens the left gate and the blue truck is behind the warehouse in front of you (when you get the gate open you only unlock a hidden car not a hidden area. I'll give you the code for that more farther down the page). - Rio - Semi-Truck Wouldn't it be cool to drive a semi? Well, here's your chance. When you're in Rio press the start button and go to the map and at the top near the west there will be a little hump in the road. Go to the very middle of that hump and there should be one building in front of you with gates on each side. Get out of your car and to the right will be the switch. It is in front of the building and kinda camouflaged so look carefully. If you reach the gate you have gone to far. When you find the switch and open the gate on the left side of the building go in and turn left and keep going. You'll find the semi behind a building. Have fun with these secret cars. They're pretty cool! -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.2 S e c r e t T r a c k s -------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rio - Mountain Pass Game When you first start out in Rio (on take a drive) turn around. Keep driving straight and on your 4th block take a right. Keep going straight until you get to a place in the city called Santa Teresa. You should be on the highway, if not start this again, if you are then get off the highway. Press start and go to the map. There will be one road that leads to a swirly circle, road, type thing. Keep driving down that road until you get to a white gate. Stop exactly in front of that gate and to your right (have to be facing north) there will be a switch. Get out and go to that switch and press triangle. Then after that the screen will say "You have unlocked a secret game." To go to that secret game, exit out and you will be back at the main screen again. Go to options, then gameplay, then go to secret and you'll see Mountain Pass - Rio - Race Track When you first start out in Rio (on take a drive) turn around. Keep driving straight till you have to turn right. Then follow this road and on your first turn go left, then right and go straight. Press start and go to the map and look for what looks like a horse track on your map. Go to the entrance with a little road that leads to a gate with three trees surrounded on both sides. Get out of your car and go across the street. Go to your right and you should find a switch not to far away. Get out and go to that switch and press triangle. Then after that the screen will say "You have unlocked a secret game." To go to that secret game, exit out and you will be back at the main screen again. Go to options, then gameplay, then go to secret and you'll see Race Track -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.3 S e c r e t A r e a s -------------------------------------------------------------------- - Chicago - Wrigleyville - Havana - Secret Garage - Las Vegas - Construction site - Rio - The area where you get the semi-truck -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.4 O t h e r S e c r e t s -------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rio - Invulnerability The Invincibility cheat is in Las Vegas. To get it, go to the corner of Tropicana and the Mid Strip. If you have know idea what I just wrote about, go to the MGM Grand Casino (The one with the big lion in front). When you get there, drive north and look to your right. Down the block should be a long black and blue building with lights across the top and middle. Also you should see a big sign that says bingo, go to the left of that sign and there will be a switch between two black doors - Rio - Immunity The Immunity cheat is in Rio. To get it turn around and keep driving striaght and on your 4th block take a right. Follow this road and then on your 4th block take a left, and to your right should be a big building with a smaller building with barb wire around the top near it. Go to the smaller building with the barb wire and there should be a door. Go up to the door and press triangle and the door will open. Go in and to your right will be a garage door. Open the garage door and go out. You should be facing the big building, now go to the door on the far left and press triangle and you'll unlock the Immunity cheat. - All the cheats When you finish the game all the cheats are enabled. So thats good reason to hurry up and finish! - All the cars When you finish the game you get all the cars to select. See section 4 for all the info on the cars. - Secret mansion in Vegas When you start out in Vegas, in take a drive, there are two roads near you to get to a place in the city called Lake Side, take the freeway. When you are off the freeway keep driving straight and on your first turn take a right, follow this road and then take another right, follow this road and then on your second turn take a left. Then you have a choice of turning left or right, go right. Then as you're driving down that road look to your right and you should see a big masion that is white with black on the bottom (on your left is the lake). Go to the front of that house and you can open the garage. If you go up to the door and press triangle the doorbell rings. No one answers though. They're probably off gambling. - Outdoor garage in Vegas When you first start out in Rio turn around and keep driving striaght and on your 4th block take a right. Follow this road and then on your 4th block take a left, and to your right should be a big building with a smaller building with barb wire around the top near it. Go to the smaller building with the barb wire and thats the outdoor garage. What I do is get a whole bunch of cars and put them in there and then close off all the doors, get in a car and wreck all the others, or if you want the cops to try and wreck you, open the garage door first, go find a cop and do a felony in front of him get a whole bunch of other cops to follow, then go in the garage and have some fun. Its like being in a Destruction Derby. - Secret Missions(?) Reflections marketed the game as having 40 new missions, but you only play 37. Are there any hidden ones? See section 9 for more info on the rumours. If anyone knows please e-mail me at webmaster@driverplanet.net Thanks a lot to Rocker12687 for the extra chaets, secrets and bugs. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.5 B u g s -------------------------------------------------------------------- - Watch the world. Go up to a seat or a bench and press Triangle. Tanner might set down and watch the world. However this deosn't always work and you can end up going through a wall - Get out of a flying car This is one wierdo bug. It works best in Chicago. As one of the bridges is going up go full speed at it and take off. Then press Up + Triangle and hopefully Tanner will get out of the car. He should land safely but the car will fly off and sometimes melt into the ground -------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.6 G a m e s h a r k C o d e s -------------------------------------------------------------------- Joker Command (See Note 1 underneath) D00AA674 ????

NOTE 3: This code is best used with the Ultimate Levitation code and the Can't Die From Flipping code & You Can Get Out Of A Fully Wrecked Car code. This was you can drive into some water and then levitate and hopefully get out. NOTE 4: This code is fun. Press L1 and your car levitates. Press R1 and all cars except yours levitates. Press L1+R1 and every car levitates. Very good fun. NOTE 5: If you are on a mission that requires you to blow something up, it will not work with this code on. ==================================================================== 9. R U M O U R S ==================================================================== P = Possible U = Unlikely, but still possible N = No way - Get into a plane in Chicago and Havana (N) This is utter bull. The game is called Driver 2 not Flyer 2. - Newcastle is once again included as a secret city (U) Hmm, this is an odd one. I heard this rumours and it doesn't seem impossible seeing as there was a secret city in Driver. BUT I know people who have completed the game and they do not mention a secret city. - Secret missions (P) The back of the box says that there are 40 missions, yet you only play 37. Are there any secret ones? Well I don't reckon so, but you never know... ==================================================================== 10. F A Q ==================================================================== Q. On multiplayer, can I only have the in-car view? A. Unfortunately yes. This is really annoying. Q. Im stuck on this mission and I can't get past. Can you help? A. All our help is posted above. If you still find one of the missions hard, you have to keep trying I'm afraid. You can always cheat but that takes away from the enjoyment of tha game. Q. Why doesn't Disc 2 work on my Playstation? A. I have got no idea whatsoever. Always check to see if the disc is scratched, smudged or dirty. If so, clean it with a dry cloth. Also try running the game with the Playstation upside-down. This sometimes gets games running. If it still doesn't work, I would ask the shop that you bought it from for a copy that works. It seems that Reflections managed to include a bug that stops the second disc from working properly Q. My car is too slow, can I make it faster? A. You might be driving one of the slower vehicles (bus, truck, van etc.), but otherwise you need to imporve your driving skills :) Q. Are there any secret missions? A. We are unsure. The game was marketed as having 40 new missions, but you only play 37. So maybe there are soms secret ones... Q. Why don't Las Vegas and Rio work in Take A Ride mode and in the driving games? A. They do work, but they are only selectable after you have got to that city in the Undercover mode of the game Q. I'm stuck on a mission, is there a way to skip it? A. Not that I am aware of. The Invincibility and Immunity cheats are only available in Las Vegas and Rio, so if you sre stuck in Havana or Chicago you will have to use this mission guide to help you out. Aren't I a kind person :) Q. Are there any type in codes for Driver 2 like there were in Driver? A. Not as far as we know. Sorry. Q. Can you edit the cars or cities? A. NO! Don't even ask. Q. What's the chances of a Driver 2 on PC? A. Not good. And even if it was on the PC, the conversion would probably be fluffed like Driver was. Still we have heard word that a company outside Reflections and Infogrames will handle a PC Driver 2 game. So you never know... Q. Any news on Driver 3? A. Yes, it will be on PS2, and released some time in 2002. Check www.driverplanet.net for the latest on all the Driver games. Got any burning questions? Send them to webmaster@driverplanet.net and we will answer them. ==================================================================== 11.
