Driver 2: Back on the Streets

The game plays primarily from a third-person driving perspective, with some missions switching to on-foot action. Players move through city maps, accept assignments, and complete objectives such as pursuits, escorts, interceptions, escapes, and infiltrations. Vehicles can ram, block, and exchange fire during chases, while route knowledge and shortcuts are crucial for survival. Mission progress advances chapter by chapter, and some stages add time limits or strict escape conditions.

The undercover detective protagonist who infiltrates a criminal syndicate and carries out chase and action missions.

Learn each city’s road layout early, because many missions depend on memorizing routes and shortcuts. During chases, control your speed instead of driving flat out all the time; clean cornering often beats reckless acceleration. In on-foot sections, use cover and keep moving to avoid being overwhelmed. If a mission allows vehicle changes, grab a healthier car as soon as it is practical.

Tips and tricks

• Spend a few minutes free-driving in a new city to learn major roads and fast cut-throughs.
• During pursuits, keep the car stable; minor contact is usually better than repeated crashes.
• In on-foot missions, read enemy positions first so you don’t rush into open fire.
