The simple yet captivating idea behind Driver?you play as an undercover cop who takes the wheel as a getaway driver for a criminal gang?attracted hordes of fans last summer as the game rocketed up the charts. Now the inevitable sequel is peeling out on the PlayStation this November, and Driver 2 looks like another slick ride.

The improvements begin with the roads, some of which are now curved. That may sound simple, but it really makes the cities look much more natural. Tanner can also get out of the car to perform simple tasks like pulling switches or?best of all?carjacking new rides when his becomes too damaged. Finally two-player split-screen action has been added, and the story, which spans Chicago, Havana, Rio de Janeiro, and Las Vegas, is much more involving thanks to the sleek cut-scenes.

Be the Wheel Man
In the preview version, Driver 2 played like the star it?s bound to be. Fortunately, the game didn?t have a driving test before the beginning of career mode, and the chase scenes were exciting and challenging.

A few imperfections were evident, though. Reflections (the developer) reported that it planned to fix the pop-up, which would be great; but the yellow/white lines on the roads were confusingly wrong, and the map wasn?t as helpful as it should?ve been?hopefully Reflections will also be able to address these issues before the game is finalized. If not, they?re very minor points, and Driver 2 looks like it?s again careening toward stardom.
