After the sucess of Driver they brought out Driver 2. Can it get any better that Driver - Oh of course. Both games interlock with each other quite a lot. The gameplay is pretty much the same, as are the graphics, sounds and playability. You are an under cover cop working in the underworld and are tasked to achieve various missions.
