  1. Without a decent framerate, the control suffers, and without decent control, the game becomes a LOT less fun. As it stands, this game feels more like a beta than a final, and fans of the original should just go play the first one again.

    From the grindingly slow frame rate to the in-your-face pop-up to the time you spend racing through empty streets, the game misses on every count that matters. Don't even bother renting it.

    Driver 2 is fun...but it's not as good as the original....I prefer the maps this time around but the overall gameplay is not as good as DriverDriver 2 is fun...but it's not as good as the original....I prefer the maps this time around but the overall gameplay is not as good as Driver 1. Graphics have received a downgrade but the FMVs have improved. Getting out of your car feels more like a gimmick more than a gameplay mechanic. Music isn't as good, but the cars are more varied this time and you can go to cities outside of the USA! So while Driver 2 doesn't have the charm of Driver 1, It definitely has the heart.

    One of the worst games I've played on PlayStation. Visuals and sounds are decent but everything else from story to incredibly bad steering,One of the worst games I've played on PlayStation. Visuals and sounds are decent but everything else from story to incredibly bad steering, reversing and AI make the game real pain. The best thing is the rewarding feeling you get after dozens of failures in story missions. The second best things are driving games such survival which is really fun to play but that isn't enough.
