This is what you call a sequel. While Driver was successful, the developers didn't rest on their laurels and tried to make a much bigger game. Vastly larger cities in different parts of the globe (Chicago, Havana, Rio de Janeiro and LA), better handling, more realistic traffic, curved roads (Driver only has straight roads), two discs, the ability to get out of your car and hijack another, are just some improvements. All of this made Driver 2 one of the best non-racing car games on the PlayStation. It does get criticised for its choppy frame rate and poor draw distance (the developers were pushing the console to its limit), and it does feel slightly unfinished due to the limitations of the console and it being rushed to release by the publishers, but for its time its pros easily outweighed the few problems.
