    A hugely engrossing game that is varied and challenging enough to last you a fair while.

    It's astonishing just how much Driver 2 Advance looks, feels, and plays like the PlayStation version of Driver 2.

    Not only was this game graphically epic, featuring two large cities, but it sported a 3D engine that had some flaws, but never failed to turn heads.

    The pace and the missions are all that get in the way of an otherwise strong gamen

    Painfully inconsistent. It has great control, and myriad single-player and multiplayer modes. Unfortunately, it also has abysmal music and a spotty graphics engine that cannot achieve the sense of speed the Driver games need.

    A surprisingly solid, fun game engine doesn’t quite counteract boring, repetitive missions...it’s kinda like driving a Ford Mustang around a Wal-Mart parking lot.

    This game has tons of gameplay, and is a great game for an AGB title. I hink it does a pretty good job recreating Driver 2 on such a limited system.

    It is pretty a fun game exept for a few problems like grapics and such but for a GBA thats all right. It's fairly addicting and thats good.

    Driver 2 on GBA has two impressive open worlds and is a joy to drive around in. The drifting feels just right and there's a great skill curveDriver 2 on GBA has two impressive open worlds and is a joy to drive around in. The drifting feels just right and there's a great skill curve in this game. However, due to a bug. You can't finish the campaign on an original GBA, since it lacks the power to load the game fast enough. So in the mission where you have to plant C4 and escape. The game just freezes and lets you die. So play this on an emulator to get the full experience!

    Rating:
    Gameplay: 5/5 - Everything you'd want from an open world driving game.
    Level Design: 5/5 - 2 great open worlds with varying difficulty.
    Soundtrack: 0/5 - Horrible. Seriously, play this game with the sound muted if possible.
    Story: 5/5 - The story from the PS1 game was greatly ported here.
    Graphics: 5/5 - Great and impressive for GBA standards.
    Length: 5/5 - There's just loads to do here.
    Replay Value: 3/5 - There's a fun free play and some great challenge modes. Plus there's apparently multiplayer.
    Enjoyment: 4/5 - Absolutely loved it. But hated that I couldn't finish it on my GBA SP.

    Overall rating: 32/40 => 8/10

    Verdict: Absolutely impressive and worth giving a shot on an emulator.    … Expand

    Boring city, bad car-handling and other nerving things in gameplay.
