Retrospective: Driver 2: The Wheelman is Back

Gamer Limit writes "After the gargantuan success of Driver, the inevitable announcement of a sequel in 2000 came as no surprise, and with the dawn of the PlayStation 2 fast approaching, the anticipation for the Wheelman’s second and final lap on the PlayStation couldn’t have been higher."

Chase the Gunman has to rank as one of the most frustrating missions of all time. The original Driver game was a better game overall, particularly with Driver 2's wonky walking physics.

Wonky graphics as well, he looks like a box head.

Graphics weren't some of Driver 2's greatest assets.

You arent kidding. At some points it felt like it was how many seconds per frame rather than frames per second the slowdown was so bad!

I took my copy round to a mate to see if it was just my playstation. This also launched the week before PS2 did in europe, which totally stole the thunder and made the graphics look even worse. Less than a year later GTA3 appeared on the new hardware and of course instantly made this look horribly aged

It was fun making Tanner's head disappear by walking right up to the camera.

Good read. Saves me the time of actually playing the game :)

Jorrel565390d ago

Haha. Too many good games to play these days. Great writeup though.

You've made me really want to try this game despite the fact that it sounds rather broken. Kudos on that.

ULTIMATE_REVENGE5390d ago

This is what you call a TRUE game.

They kinda did in the Lego Clone Wars game. One of the stages or two was devoted to young Boba Fett, Bossk, Dengar and Aurra Sing. Shame they never did the other seasons in Lego form. I believe it only covered the first 3 and pilot turned movie.

~25% of annual hours worked for a full-time employee, not including overtime. Doesn't seem unreasonable and kind of expected, IMHO.
