/ 1:Introduction\
================================================================================================
I made this guide to help the people who are stuck on anything within driver 2, I made
this using the ways in which I completed the missions, all the secrets are correct and it
is more than likely incomplete, so find a hidden area or secret that is not here go to the
Driver 2 forum at www.neoseeker.com and tell us.
Driver 2 is a great continuation of Driver and my full credits go to Reflections and
Infogrames for their great game, I am in no way affiliated with these two companies so I
cannot give technical advice, also I do not give a run down of the game controls as they
can be figured out by you.
In the walkthrough I ask for your own brains to decide on the best roads to the end
target so please do not ask me for the best routes as it is a case of trial and error if
you can't get there one way then try another way.
Read on and good luck with the game

power has changed,

hit the streets of America.
________________
/File 4:Car Guide\
================================================================================================
This is a complete car guide with all the cars from each city each one is given five
scores to add up to a final score.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is a list of ALL of the non-secret cars in the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------
-Scoring System-
Strength (s) - How well the vehicle is hitting cars and police (not including
hitting into the walls)
Durability (d) - How well the vehicle is receiving hits from the police for the times
you just stay there and take 'em on (not including getting slammed
into walls)
Acceleration (a) - How long it takes to get from stop to fast (can't say speeds because the
PSX version doesn't have it)
Top Speed (ts) - How fast the vehicle is (this will be useful to tell what cars will
get away from the cops)
Turning (t) - How well the vehicle turns at top speed
Each one is given a score out of 5 of course 1 is crap and 5 is excellent then at the end
of that the vehicle is given a score out of 25 (adding all the scores up) less than 10 is a
crap car 11-15 is an OK car and 15-20 is a good car and 21-25 is an excellent car of course
most will get between the middle scores so I have compared the cars against each other so
that there are better cars to choose.
Also a car with a siren will get 1 bonus point because the siren is a pretty cool thing
to have access to.
-Chicago-
*Car 1*- This car is good, quick take off, good for attacking the cops and good
for getting away from them, overall the best stock standard car, and
the easiest to drive
(S -3) (D -4) (A -4) (TS -4) (T -3)
Overall - 18
*Car 2*- This car is boxy and therefore suffers in turning ability, nothing
special about this one, pretty even score.
(S -3) (D -4) (A -3) (TS -3) (T -2)
Overall - 15
*Car 3*- This car was OK to drive very median based car nothing standout but
also no major flaws, OK for car chases.
(S -3) (D -3) (A -3) (TS -3) (T -3)
Overall - 15
*Van*- In one word *crap* it is slow but tough, but that is the only good point
about this vehicle, look for a better vehicle, originally I was going to give
it 3 points for strength, but when I destroyed the car it hit in one go I
gave it a 4 because that was pretty cool.
(S -4) (D -3) (A -2) (TS -2) (T -1)
Overall - 12
*Cop Car*- The police cruisers are by far in my opinion the best cars you can get
your paws on, But they come at a price Full felony, which means cops that
want you dead not stopped and roadblocks galore if you decide to take
them on.
When you beat the whole game you can select the cop car and you start
with no felony, But (always a but!!)if you get out and get back in you
will have full felony.
(S -4) (D -3) (A -5) (TS -5) (T -4) + 1 Bonus Point
Overall - 22
*Fire Engine*- The fire engine is slow, big and hard to maneuver but it has a siren
but that's about all really.
also if you speed and turn the siren on the police will still chase
you (goddamn a cat could be stuck up a tree or on a lesser point
there could be a fire!!).
(S -3) (D -3) (A -1) (TS -1) (T -2) + 1 Bonus Point
Overall - 11
*Armoured Van*- This is quite good for the type of vehicle it is, good at turning
and has good strength it is let down though with poor speed but the
speed that it has is better than the others in its genre.
(S -4) (D -4) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -3)
Overall - 14
*School Bus*- The school bus is fairly similar to the fire engine except you seem to
have better steering but this is pretty much just the same shit
different smell.
(S -3) (D -3) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -3)
Overall - 12
-Havana-
*Car 1*- This is the best car in Havana (other than the cop cars), fast and easy to
maneuver, best to start with this car and then steal others as you go along
this also resembles a Chevy, which is kinda cool.
(S -3) (D -4) (A -4) (TS -4) (T -3)
Overall - 18
*Car 2*- This one surprised me, I thought that it was going to be slow and crap but
it turned out to be quite speedy and easy to handle, a good car for a car
chase so use this car when you cannot get the one above.
(S -3) (D -2) (A -3) (TS -4) (T -3)
Overall - 15
*Car 3*- This car lived up to my expectations, I thought it wouldn't be the best and
I was right, it still scored OK but not fast enough to escape anything
quickly, it will still escape the police but you will need to be a good
driver, use this car if you cannot get one of the above two.
(S -3) (D -3) (A -2) (TS -3) (T -3)
Overall - 14
*Pick-Up Truck*- The pick-up surprised me too, I expected it to be slow and tough,
well it was tough but it was also quick, not racecar quick but it
sure did have a kick to it, have a shot of this.
(S -4) (D -2) (A -4) (TS -3) (T -2)
Overall - 15
*Cop Car*- This cop car is just the same as the Chicago one except the siren is
different and it sounds crap (even my cat hates it!!) so you won't want
to use it all that often.
(S -4) (D -3) (A -5) (TS -5) (T -4) + 1 Bonus Point
Overall - 22
*Truck With Roof*- This truck you get to drive in the second and third missions and
is pretty crap but is nether the less fun to drive.
it handles OK but as with all cars like this they are slow so they
are not particularly useful in a chase.
(S -3) (D -4) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -2)
Overall - 12
*Truck With Tray*- I can't find this anywhere within the level so you must just have
this truck show up at the end.
This truck is no different to the above one except my friend says
it handles better so I will give it extra because if he noticed it
maybe it does?
(S -3) (D -4) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -3)
Overall - 13
-Extra Help-
I was cruising around the docks at the southeast corner of the map
and I saw the Truck w/ Tray parked on the side of the road and I
drove it.
It handles just like the truck with the roof, the one that looks
like a moving truck. It looks just like it, but with no roof over
the tray, rides higher off the ground, and has larger tires. It
is also slow and sorta hard to handle.
(S -4) (D -4) (A -2) (TS -3) (T -2)
Overall - 15
**Submitted By: Unknown_A**
**To read his E-Mail See File:16 Questions & Answers**
*Bus*- This is just the same as the School bus, but out of the bus' in this game
(Rio & Havana) this one looks better but handles no differently.
bit sad that the buses don't handle different.
(S -3) (D -3) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -3)
Overall - 12
*Kombi Van*- OK now if you are wondering what the hell this car is, it is the VW van
(I'm an Aussie) Australia is the only country that calls them Kombi's
not sure why though??
This car though (back on the subject) is quite good it just has bad
turning but what it lacks in that department it makes up for in it's top
speed very nice, but I don't mind having a car in the game that I see
everyday.
(S -3) (D -3) (A -2) (TS -3) (T -1)
Overall - 12
-Vegas-
*Car 1*- This car is a nice car to drive nice speed and acceleration, excellent
handling and good strength & durability, and this car also looks like a
mustang all in all a very nice car.
(S -4) (D -3) (A -3) (TS -3) (T -5)
Overall - 18
*Car 2*- This car was a disappointment slow, OK steering and OK strength, I'd be
looking at a better car for police pursuits.
(S -3) (D -3) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -3)
Overall - 12
*Car 3*- This car was better than the one above but still as disappointing, mildly
faster but not as tough, I'd look again for a better vehicle.
(S -2) (D -3) (A -2) (TS -3) (T -3)
Overall - 13
*4X4*- The 4X4 is cool, great for off road especially the hidden construction area,
but the handling and speed that the 4X4 has, it may not take off quickly but
it's strength makes up for that.
This car is excellent for the secret area near the airport, and it is also cool
to use near the trains at the ghost town.
**How to get to secret area See File:8 Hidden Areas**
(S -4) (D -3) (A -2) (TS -3) (T -4)
Overall - 16
*Cop Car*- This cop car is again the same as the Chicago and Havana ones except the
siren is better and it looks better but I ain't judging on looks or how
good the siren is so again the same attributes.
(S -4) (D -3) (A -5) (TS -5) (T -4) + 1 Bonus Point
Overall - 22
*Limo*- The limo is a Big car and has it's share of problems bad turning and slow in
getting started it's top speed is not too bad but it looks very boxy all that
I can say for this is use if you want to, I do sometimes but it is useless for
chases.
**Tip for car See File:6 Tips and Hints**
(S -3) (D -3) (A -2) (TS -3) (T -1)
Overall - 12
*Ambulance*- This car is like the truck below and in Havana except it has a siren and
it seems faster.
these are hard to find in the city but when you beat the game you can
select it at the start.
as with the fire trucks you will be chased if you have your siren going
and you speed (sheesh the cat the firemen didn't get to could have fallen
out of the tree and hurt itself!!).
(S -3) (D -4) (A -2) (TS -3) (T -3) + 1 Bonus Point
Overall - 16
*Truck*- This is exactly the same as the truck from Havana (the one with the roof) so
this gets the same attributes
(S -3) (D -4) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -2)
Overall - 12
*Campervan*- What a load of crap! this car is slow, boxy and hard to steer, this will
probably be the only car under 10 but that is where it deserves to be.
Don't waste your time on driving this car.
(S -3) (D -2) (A -1) (TS -1) (T -1)
Overall - 8
-Rio-
*Car 1*- I found this car fast pretty good strength wise, OK turning and it sorta looks
OK, anyway an easy car to handle and good for police pursuits.
(S -3) (D -4) (A -4) (TS -4) (T -3)
Overall - 18
*Car 2*- Well yet another all-rounder fairly even stats for a fairly even car, OK for
police pursuits and good for having a quick bash around in, but not my first
choice in automobiles.
(S -3) (D -3) (A -3) (TS -3) (T -3)
Overall - 15
*Car 3*- This is boxy and fairly even stats wise, not so good for police pursuits, take
it only if you have to, otherwise leave it be.
(S -3) (D -2) (A -2) (TS -3) (T -3)
Overall - 13
*Utility*- A nice ute to bash round in, alright for a chase because it has good turning
and a medium top speed, strength is fairly neutral but you get that, an OK
car overall, but I don't mind utes (I wouldn't mind a Holden Maloo ute 5.7
litre V8, very nice) but at the moment that is sorta outta my price range!!.
(S -3) (D -3) (A -2) (TS -3) (T -4)
Overall - 15
*Cop Car*- I seem to find that this cop car is boxy and hard to steer compared to the
others but that may just be me.
nether the less it still loses points
(S -4) (D -3) (A -5) (TS -5) (T -3) + 1 Bonus Point
Overall - 21
*Bus*- Just the same as the bus from Havana except it looks different and they get no
extra points for that.
(S -3) (D -3) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -3)
Overall - 12
*Pick-up Truck*- This is the only new vehicle in Rio (other than the first 4 and the
secret car) this car is not too bad concerning strength but it's
handling and speed let it down.
(S -4) (D -4) (A -2) (TS -2) (T -2)
Overall - 14
*Fire Engine*- Just the same as the fire engine from Chicago except again it looks
different but as I said no points there, pity really the fire engines
could have had different physics, oh well.
(S -3) (D -3) (A -1) (TS -1) (T -2) + 1 Bonus Point
Overall - 11
*Limo*- Same as the Limo from Vegas except it's black, also this limo is in a mission
whereas Vegas' limo is not (you can use it in the mission 'Car bomb getaway'
but you have the cops around so you don't get all that far with it in any rush.

/File 5:Secret Cars Guide\
================================================================================================
There are 4 secret cars one in each city, which is hidden (See File:9 Secrets) and the
full selection of cars you get when you complete the game.
This is just a guide to the best and the worst secret cars and it uses the same guide
above.
When the game was released in Australia there was a competition on at my local
Blockbuster video store of the game and some extras, one of those extras was a matchbox car
of a Trans Am that had a Driver 2 symbol on the back of the box and yet I have completed the
game and I have not found it, but I am pursuing the fact of whether or not it is in the game
I will keep you informed on my progress.
**I have got new news on the Trans Am See File:11 Rumours for the details**
**IMPORTANT NOTE**
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is a list of ALL of the secret cars in the game, there
are NO other secret cars at all!.
-------------------------------------------------------------
-Chicago-
*Black & Yellow Buick*- This car has some Grunt it is fast and has great get-up-and-
go the only thing that lets this car down is poor
steering at top speed
(S -4) (D -3) (A -5) (TS -5) (T -4)
Overall - 21
-Havana-
*Pink & White Mini*- This car is fast and is very slow at turning, with the mini it
is a good getaway car as long as you are not in a sharp turns
area.
(S -2) (D -3) (A -3) (TS -3) (T -2)
Overall - 13
-Vegas-
*Blue 4x4*- This car is slow and has bad turning the only thing that this has going
for it is that it is strong and a good thrash around car not overly
useful for police chases.
**Have fun with this car See File:10 Interesting Stuff**
(S -4) (D -4) (A -2) (TS -3) (T -2)
Overall - 15
-Rio-
*Semi-Truck*- This car is slow and has bad turning, But as long as you don't hit a
wall it is good to attack the cops with, the only thing I hate about
this is it gets muscled out by a police car that is small and crap, but a
600HP truck can't beat it - Stupid and unrealistic
(S -5) (D -5) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -1)

/File 6:Tips And Hints\
================================================================================================
Driver is a technical game with skill and luck needed to pass the mission's so here is a
list of things to do so that you can pass the missions easier and build up those much
needed skills.
-Pursuing-
*The Scrap*- This is the method of driving beside or in front of a vehicle and
tapping them to take damage off without spinning out.
to do this get to the side of the vehicle and move your car into the
side of it and just rub and tap it until it gets away from you or if
you wreck it.
At the front of the opponent vehicle just slow down and let it tap
you in the bum end try not to get hit too hard or you will spin out
and lose them.
*The Push*- This is the method of giving the car a nudge in the bum end to set
them off-course this is not recommended as this does little damage to
the opponent vehicle.
*The T-Bone*- This is used as a last minute scrap if the opponent is damaged
badly just take the inside of a corner and hit the centre of the
vehicle this does a lot of damage but sends you flying backwards
most of the time.
-Being Chased-
*Weaving*- This is the best defense mechanism as you can weave in and out of
on-coming traffic, poles and traffic in the same direction as you
do all that what you need to watch out for is not hitting anything
yourself.
*Close Tail #1*- When the police or enemy vehicle is giving you 'the push'
just travel very close to a civilian car and turn harshly
in front of it and the vehicle will most of the time hit it
and then you can do normal weaving.
*Close Tail #2*- If the above did not work you can just place on the anchors
and let him ram you if you lose control just do 'the attack'
listed below or attempt to drive off but this is hard to do
as the cops are quick off their feet.
*Cheat Method #1*- If you are getting chased by the cops drive in front of the
limo and let it hit you and the cop will hit the back of it
(hopefully) and you will be able to stay in line (limo takes
most of the impact)and the cop will hammer itself and the
limo but you will be able to drive off with little damage
(if you had lots of damage before it will not be as little
but it will still not do much.
Sometimes you will need to hit the cop after but you won't
need to do much coz he would have done most of it.
**Only available in Vegas & Rio**
*Cheat Method #2*- When in Vegas drive up and air off of one of the walkways
along the main strips, when you do this, most of the time
the cop tries to follow you but they end up smashing into
the sides of the ramp.
Sometimes the cops manage to get across the ramp but they
don't do this very often.
**Only available in Vegas**
**See File:10 Interesting Stuff**
*T-Bone Avoid*- Sometimes when you are speeding away a civilian vehicle will
pull out in front of you and be in position to be T-boned.
In this situation I slide the car so that the front is facing
the same direction the other car is and hitting the car so that
the middle section of my car is at the front or middle section
of the other car.
If hit at the front you will slide a bit more and be able to go
on straight but if you hit it on the middle you will more than
likely have to turn.
Sometimes to help you continue straight on a left-hand turning
vehicle there will be a car going in the opposite direction
stopped at the intersection you will need to just side swipe
him to continue, if you hit him head-on you are in line for the
cop to hit you.
*Keeping the Tail*- I know that it sounds weird but if you are getting chased
by the cops and you have a long drive ahead of you just
drive slow enough to keep the cops there but fast enough
to complete the mission, the reason for this is because you
only have two cops chasing you at one time, so you don't
need to worry about getting a head-on with another cop, all
that you need to worry about is dodging the road-blocks.
I decided to add this because people have posted this on
lots of help threads, and it occurred to me that I did it
constantly, and I wondered why I never added it before now.
*The Parked Car*- When you are Speeding away from the police and you have to
stay on the road but you have a parked car in front of you
and a car to your left, try to go for the gap, if you can't
get the gap you will need to do the following.
Swerve into the front right hand side of the moving vehicle,
you should now swing into the rear left hand side of the
parked vehicle, after you hit the parked car you will be able
to drive off straight with little damage, sometimes you will
hit hard and get a lot of damage, but in almost all cases you
will not be that badly damaged.
Also sometimes you will spin out of control either by
hitting the parked car and spinning further along the road,
if this happens you should be able to drive off safely
because usually the cop will hit the cars harder than what
you did.
The other way of spinning out is by hitting the moving car
too soon and then slamming into the rear end of the parked
car, if this happens you will fly backwards and probably get
slammed into by the cop(s) if you do get stuck in this, just
use the attack method explained below, or try to drive off,
but after this sort of incident you will be badly damaged.
-Battle Royal-
*The Attack*- If you want to lose a tail easily just stop and hit them as
hard as possible, to do the most damage get into a head-on
collision with them.
*The Defend*- If you are in a slow moving push and shove battle then drive
away from the opponent and find a tree or wall that they can
hit you into this does damage to both you and your opponent but
if you had little damage to start with you will win the battle
and then you can jump out for another car.
-Roadblocks-
*The Pass*- Most roadblocks will have a part on both the left and right hand side
that you can just drive around the roadblock with, this is the
easiest way to avoid a roadblock.
*The Barge*- This method is difficult to pull off without getting damage but it
is the most fun to do at a roadblock, for this just aim for a gap
between the front row of cars and barge your way through.
*The Slow Avoid*- If you lose a police tail and you find a roadblock in front of
you then you can slow right up and carefully drive through the
middle of the cops, if there is room on the sides go that way,
But be warned that if you hit a cop they will pursue you but if
you miss them then you can drive off without any cops (no cops
that will pursue you will be nearby, Depending on how long you
take to pass the cops).

/File 7:Step-By-Step Walkthrough\
================================================================================================
This is the Walkthrough, I have tried to make it as easy to understand as possible,
if you still have problems go to the Driver 2 forum at www.neoseeker.com to get help from me
and many other Driver 2 enthusiasts.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**
-------------------------------------------------------------
This Walkthrough is 100% complete, and i will not be adding
any more extra helps to these missions at all,
Thanks to all that added help, but this FAQ is finished.
-------------------------------------------------------------
-Chicago-
*Surveillance Tip Off*- At the start you need to get into your car so just go over
to the car with the red arrow above it and press triangle
at the door.
Once inside the car you will need to drive to where Jones
car is, to find out where it is just pause and go to show
map this will give you a dot on the map with a grey arrow
as to where Jones is, use the map now to set out your
route to Jones.
Once at Jones car come to a complete stop and jump out by
pressing triangle and up, now run over to Jones car which
has an arrow above it and press triangle to jump into
Jones car.
*Chase The Witness*- All that you need to do for this mission is stay with the
suspect's car in front of you, you can go as close as you
like but don't get too far away or then you lose, but be
warned he is fast so a little mistake could cost the mission
for you.
*Train Pursuit*- For this mission you just need to follow the train like you did
the monorail in Driver 1 just stay with it until it stops when it
does stop jump out by pressing triangle and up and run up the
platform on your left (if you stop in the direction of the train
line) now when you get to the platform you will just need to run
to the red arrow
*Tailing The Drop*- For this one you need to follow the Brazilian who is making
the drop you will need to be alert for this mission as you
cannot go too far away or too close or else you lose.
this is essentially an easy mission but you need to watch both
the proximity counter and also the direction the guy goes.
*Escape To Safe House*- This is a medium difficulty mission you need to lose the
cops and get to your apartment with this one you can lose
the cops and steal another car with no damage and no
felony but trying to get there in the same car is a lot
more fun and challenging
*Chase The Intruder*- For this mission you will need to chase Jericho who busts
into your apartment so when you start run over to the silver
car and floor it after him (do not take the van as it is too
slow) try not to crash as Jericho is a fast driver when you
get to where he wants you the game will take over.
-Extra Help-
There's a secret in the mission "Chase the Intruder" that my
father and I discovered. You see, when you come out of the
parking lot of the safe house, instead of following the road,
cut through the little grassy area.
It'll take you right dab smack to Jericho, the man who punched
you in the face and stomped you one right in the mouth.
**Submitted By: The Knight and The Dragoon**
*Caine's Compound*- This mission is confusing at the start it seems as if there
is no escape but it is easy, take either car and drive to the
right and you will go past the end of the previous mission
turn left and then right inside the warehouse and turn right
follow along here dodging the few vans that show and when you
get to the road keep going into the other warehouse area now
turn left around the fence and take the first right between
the two buildings and you will have to turn left into the
building as a van shows up once past him continue in the same
direction and you will come up to a warehouse that leads out
onto the main road take this and turn left follow this to the
end and don't worry about the van you can slow him up by
weaving the poles at the end turn right into the building that
is parallel to the start and follow this through to the road
and on through the other warehouse continue along here to the
end and turn right into the last warehouse and turn left on
the road and jump the bridge, the game will now take over, and
you have done the maze.
-Yergin's Notes-
You start in the top left section on the island, when you go
to escape you need to go south to the bottom left section of
the island when you make it at the south of the island you
can get onto the main road head north away from the van that
will give chase,
Drive north to the very top of the island, turning right at
the T when you turn right turn right again into the open
warehouse which will be the top right section of the island,
Now head south to the bottom right section of the island
when you go as far south as possible you can then drive
through the open warehouse onto the main road and turn left
onto the rising bridge,
The only bridge that rises is the south bridge all the others
stay up!!
-Yergin's Extra Note-
Section 1
once in a car exit the warehouse turning right, turn right down the
gap between the fence and the warehouse, at the end of this turn
right, when you reach the end of the warehouse on the left do a 180
left into the warehouse, turn right and exit here turning right
again, go straight and weave between the buildings until you see a
warehouse, go through both doors so you exit now swing left around
the outside of this warehouse turn immediately right, drive straight
towards the gap ahead turn right into this warehouse before the van
pops out, go through here and turn left to exit, turn left and head
towards the grass, when you reach the grass angle right and go
through the gap at the end, on the other side turn right and turn</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
left through the warehouse onto the street,
Section 2
Go straight onto the other side and turn left around the fence and
turn right into the gap in the buildings, go along here and go left
into the warehouse before reaching the end of here, exit the
warehouse at the end by turning right, go straight ahead slowly
turning right, you should now see the gap ahead, go through this
and turn right followed by an immediate left into the warehouse,
turn left inside the warehouse and go towards the road, when coming
to the end of the warehouse be prepared for the left turn onto the
road and the pursuit by the yellow van,
Section 3
when you are being chased just weave between the poles, when you
start to get close to the end of this road try to have the van hit
a pole, if he doesn't don't worry just turn right anyway, turn
right into the warehouse and go along here straight, weave between
the first buildings and stay next to the fence, when you pass a
building go left slowly and you will see a warehouse in front of
you, go through it onto the road and across through the next
warehouse into the final quadrant, again as soon as you can go and
stay with the fence, when you see the blue dumpster turn left and
turn immediately right go around the next dumpster and into the
warehouse, exit the warehouse turning left and just jump the now
rising bridge, on the other side the game will take over.
**Originally Written For Someone Over E-Mail**
-Extra Help-
Beat Caine's compound using that shortcut:
In mission 7 "Caine's compound", go to the avenue where the van
will start to pursue you, and make it push you through the wall
and the front/east side of the trucks that block the way.
When the van pushes you through, go to the place marked by a
flashing point in the map and the game will show the letter "Well
done. You made it".
But the mission is still not complete and the time is running! So
go back to the compound and enter the last hangar, then the game
will show the ending movie, put you at the south of the bridge
and show the letter "Well done, you escaped", and now the mission
is complete.
Another way: you can also first enter COMPLETELY that hangar, and
then the bridge will start to rise! So you must rush to the
flashing point / goal of the mission to complete the mission.
**Submitted By: Gabriel Pinzón**
-Extra Help-
Beat Caine's compound without being pursued:
Cross Caine's compound until you are near to the yellow van
stopped at the south of the avenue, near the trucks.
To avoid alerting that yellow van, slow down when you are into the
hangar before the half-open avenue, avoid hitting any box or wall
when exiting the hangar and drive north slowly on the avenue until
you get some far away from the van.
When you get to the east side of the compound you can drive slowly
again when you are near the van at the other/west side of the
fence, until you are near the draw bridge, then you MUST run to
the bridge before it rises to complete the mission.

*Leaving Chicago*- Just go to the map and follow the best route to it as you see
fit the enemies are not too hard to lose and you can also take
new cars to complete this.
**Bug in mission See File:12 Bugs**
-Havana-
*Follow The Lead*- This is another proximity bar mission just follow him and watch
the proximity bar and also his direction of driving, this
mission is very easy but very boring although do it when your
sleepy and you may have more fun.
*Hijack The Truck*- This mission is hard and could have you throwing the controller
to do this mission just speed up to the truck using the burnout
button and damage him to about 75% when you have done it the
truck stops and you can take on the escort once he is out take
the truck and drive to the lock up.
Once at the lock up jump out of the truck and go to the left of
the roller door and press triangle on the switch and then drive
the truck in, once inside jump out and close the door by
pressing triangle on the inside button.
**5 Bugs in mission See File:12 Bugs**
*Stop The Truck*- This is easier than the previous truck mission just get on the
side of him and tap his side until he is 75% damaged now jump in
and drive it to the lock up,
The only difficulty with this mission is the bombs that the truck
drops behind it, just dodge these and you will be fine, however if
you hit them you will spin out and more than likely lose the
mission.
**Bug in mission See File:12 Bugs**
*Find The Clue*- For this hard mission you will need to take out four cars in seven
minutes don't waste time and if you can take a head-on hit first
this will stuff up the enemy car and always steal a new car after
you jump out of the suspect vehicle.
-Extra Help-
Here's how you beat this mission: (Steps 1,2,3 are key)
1: Take off in the same direction that your car is facing.(Enter on
the passenger side in order to save a few seconds)
2: Make a Right at the third intersection. (It's a T-crossing) and
continue till you are forced to turn left. At the next opportunity,
turn right again and gun it.
(YOU SHOULD BE HEADING THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE 1st CAR)
3: You'll see now where he's heading and will be able to cut him off.
(Pause if you need to check your map and plan your turns)
4: Slam into him head on and if possible ram him into other cars,
walls etc. till he's dead
5: Hop in and out as quickly as possible and get a new car. (If you
can't find a new ride within 15 seconds I'd recommend you restart
rather than waste time and come up short at the end)
6: Repeat with cars 2,3,4 as you are now closer to the area where the
next ones are. The most important thing is to cut off their routes
and slam head on into them.
NOTE: The 1st car is the most important one to get in great time IMO.
When I beat this mission I had 1:17 left. The clue is in the
last car so get in and out as quickly as possible in order to
preserve precious seconds.
Finally, after a few tries you will know the patterns and routes
pretty well and should have no problems completing this stage.

-Yergin's Notes-
Damn mate you did a better job than me on this mission!!!, lucky
I ain't paying you coz you'd be fired for showing me up!! *LoL* just
kidding mate, thanks heaps for the submission!!.
*Escape To Ferry*- This is an easy mission just take the car you are in and drive
to the ferry and floor it to make the jump release the
accelerator before the jump cause if you fall off you lose.
**2 Bugs in mission See File:12 Bugs**
*To The Docks*- Go around to the tunnel and once you get to the other end pause it
and chose your route it is easy as there is enough time to slow up
and you can also take other cars.
**2 Bugs in mission See File:12 Bugs**
*Back To Jones*- Take the blue car behind you and floor it to where Jones is, there
are police in this mission so watch out for them when you reach
Jones jump out and into his car.
*Tail Jericho*- This is once again a proximity counter at the start do not move
anywhere or else you get too close then follow him as you did the
other ones but watch out as he turns down some busy back streets so
don't get stuck behind a civilian car, this one is harder than the
others and a good challenge compared to the other proximity
missions.
*Pursue Jericho*- Take the red car as it is fast and chase Jericho and crash him
out when you do this just try to tap him on the straights and if
you can get him stuck in a building for a sec to get a better hit
on him, once again Jericho is fast and this is a good mission as
you can take on somebody good.
*Escape The Brazilians*- This is easy just drive to the freeway that is at the top
of the map and follow it to the lock up from before and
jump out open the door drive in and then shut the door,
the easiest way to lose the Brazilian drivers is to weave
the poles and cars.
**Second CD Is Required At This Point**
-Vegas-
*Casino Getaway*- Get into the orange Mustang to your right and drive to the casino and
pick up Caine's men and drive them to the safe house that is down
the bottom of the map, when you arrive at the safe house just
drive in there is no need to get out.
**Bug in mission See File:12 Bugs**
*Beat The Train*- For this difficult mission drive the 4x4 truck along the left of
the tracks you will need to go up the hill on the left as there is
a wooden gate you need to crash through and head to the right and
get onto the tracks in front of the train,
once you reach the bridge you will need to jump out of the car and
get into the other car and drive off the bridge quickly and head to
the left of the end of the bridge.
*Car Bomb*- This mission is easy but the police make it difficult just go to the map
and decide your route and follow it drop the car off and jump out and
run through the pedestrian pathway in the middle of the two building's
once on the other side run to the arrow.
*Car Bomb Getaway*- Very easy mission this one just run out and to the right and you
will see a red mustang and a limo take the mustang and drive
along the strips until you come to a left turn just past the
lower strips and all you need to do is drive to the red arrow,
see simple.
You have police in this mission but just use the normal evading
tips.
**See File:6 Tips and Hints**
*Bank Job*- To complete this mission you need to firstly open the door of the garage
and take the mustang that is parked in the garage and drive to Jericho
who is in trouble at the bank, use the map and decide on a route and
drive to him when you get close enough the game will take over and he
will jump into your car (from this point you cannot jump out and take
new cars).
now that Jericho is inside the car take a ride along the freeway and
follow it until you come to the off-ramp that is on the bridge now just
look at your map and you will see where to go and go to it the police
will back off and you will need to drive down the alley way and into the
lock-up on your left.
when inside you need to jump out and press triangle on the switch on the
right of the door and shut it.
**Bug in mission See File:12 Bugs**
*Steal The Ambulance*- This mission is like the hijack the truck mission for an easy
pass at this just drive right across the dirt and in front of
the ambulance and scrap it do not smash into it.
Drive up along side it and tap the side and front of it, if
you do not take it out now you have a chance at the right
hand turn at the end of this road, by now you should have got
him but if not it will be hard to catch him.
the police car that follows him is the only escort in the
area so you have a clear ride to the lock up.
**Bug in mission See File:12 Bugs**
*Stake Out*- This is hard the police of Vegas have staked you out and you need to
get Jones to the airport, just drive forward and onto the strips when
you gain control of the vehicle and follow that if you look at the map
you will see what route to go down after getting on the strips.
in this mission you cannot get out of your vehicle and when you get to
the airport you do not need to lose the tail.
-Extra Help-
I have been told that you do in fact need to lose the tail, my apologies
to anybody who was misled.
**Thanks to Kev for informing me**
*Steal The Keys*- For this relatively easy mission just crash out the marked car and
once you've done that just jump out and climb into his car to
collect the keys.
*C4 Deal*- Take the car that is parked in the service station and drive the best
route to the end (I went along the strips and turned down the road at the
start of take a ride) this mission is simple but the police may be a
problem if you get stuck.
*Destroy The Yard*- After doing the deal take the red car and head out right the
police will chase you so turn right at the end of the street
you now should be facing north now follow this until you get to
the freeway, take a left onto the freeway and follow this and
take a right off the freeway using the ramp on the bridge.
you should now be facing the ghost town drive up here using
the far right fence and taking shortcuts between buildings once
you reach your destination slow up ASAP and jump out run to the
arrow and press triangle run inside and press triangle on the
three arrows as they show up.
Now Run out the door.
-Yergin's Notes-
When you are driving under the bridge that is part of the freeway
that you want to get onto just turn right onto the dirt area on
either side of the bridge to gain a great shortcut and save a heap
of time towards the end of the mission.
-Rio-
*Bus Crush*- For this easy mission just take one of the cars that you can choose from
I take the yellow car because it is fast now just use the map and drive
to where the bus is.
when you get to the bus stop the car and jump out now run over and steal
the bus.
now drive the bus on the route of your choice and you will find that you
will need to fight on-coming traffic with the big-arsed bus now when you
reach the destination just reverse up and ram the 5 cars, each car takes
one good hit.
after that you will need to drive to the lock-up to do this just head
back down the road and follow the main road left and you will come to the
first right hand turn now take this road and you will find the lock-up
already open and on your left.
*Steal The Cop Car*- This mission is hard so be careful not to break the PSX for this
mission just look at the map and drive the best course possible
to it, when you reach it you will be at the impound yard and open
the door and turn left the cop car is there take it and drive up
the freeway and take the turn off closest to the end but instead
of driving down it swing 180° and drive off the on ramp and follow
this road as it is one row over from the end.
Also you cannot have a tail at the end of this mission which if
you get there and have a tail will annoy the crap out of you so
make sure you watch the cops.
**See File:8 Hidden areas**
*Caine's Cash*- For this mission just drive the police car you got in the last mission
and turn left stop the limo that is coming up on the right hand side
road and jump out of the police car and take the limo.
Now drive the limo up to Vasquez's mansion by the main road that is
straight ahead and left of where you take the limo when you reach the
end of this take a right and follow this and take the first left when
you arrive at the mansion you need to turn right and then left into
the front gates once you get to this part the game will take over the
driving for you.
After a short video sequence the limo will scream off and you will
gain control with one of Vasquez's guys tailing you so just use the
evade techniques and you just need to drive the limo forward one block
before turning left down the main road and return to the lock-up
eventually if you do lose the tail with the evade techniques the guy
will just back off and as long as time permits you can just slowly
drive into the lock-up.
-Yergin's Notes-
With this mission the rain and crap handling of the limo make it hard so
be careful when turning.
**See File:6 Tips and Hints**
*Save Jones*- For this mission you need to wreck the green sedan so just run over the
road and steal the yellow car and watch the map in the corner to find
where he goes when you find the car just trash it the best way to trash
this guy is to slam his car into a building tree pole etc. because he
has a good damage tolerance and can take the light bumps and taps, the
good thing is though he follows the same line at the start but later you
can knock him off course.
when you trash his car the mission will be over and you would have saved
Jones from the hitman.
*Boat Jump*- To do this mission look at your map and you will see that you must get
off the island that you are on so drive off it and turn right after the
jump in the road and follow this DO NOT TURN OFF IT as this leads right
to it.
when you get close the police will back off and you are free to turn
right into the dock area and once here drive onto the boat via the pier
on the boats left park your car at the back and jump out.
Now place the three bombs and jump into your car and floor it off the end
if you didn't waste too much time you can make the jump and have enough
time to watch it.
**Bug in mission See File:12 Bugs**
*Jones In Trouble*- For this mission you will need to reverse the car and angle the
front to face out left and drive forward turn right at the very
next street and drive all the way down it until you come up to the
police impound yard turn left here and floor it up the freeway and
when you look at the map there is a long twisting road that leads
to it DO NOT TAKE THIS EXIT continue onto the next exit and take
that one you will now come up to a left turn into an 'S' bend road
go along here and jump out of your car and run up to the red arrow
and the mission is complete.
*Chase The Gunman*- This mission will have you screaming for blood of the creators of
this game, you need to jump into one of the cars and scrap the
man who attacked Jones, if you take the red car turn left onto the
grass and then cut the corner right and get in front of him, once
in front slow up and let him tap you and when he is approx 80%
damaged just swing it sideways in front of him so he can't go
anywhere but you.
The yellow car can keep up with him where as if you stuff up the
above with the red car you lose, the yellow car however faces the
wrong way to where he goes.
Also I broke the D pad on my controller attempting this mission so
try to control anger because I didn't and now I'm $65 short of
being able to play two player modes.
-Yergin's Notes-
Another Way of completing this mission is to let him damage himself!,
if he crashes into too much stuff by himself he will stop and be
smoldering on the side of the road, although his visible damage is
nil, his actual damage is wasted!!,
now just hit the stationary target until his visible damage is full,
mission complete without even breaking a sweat (or a controller!!).
-Extra Help-
I found an easy way to beat the Save Jones mission in Rio. When the
sedan finally comes to the end of the long curvy road along the water
and has to turn, just ram him really hard up against the side of the
building on the corner, and he will crash into the building and
disappear.
His damage bar will shoot up and you will have beaten the mission.

In mission 35 "Chase the gun man", start pressing X+right to reach the
yellow car, and then press Triangle to get into that car. Reverse a
bit and then go for the gunman.
The yellow car is better than the red one and sometimes is easier to
stop the gunman by lateral scrapes on its car.
**Submitted By: Gabriel Pinzón**
-Extra Help-
I don't know if this will help or not, but for the walkthrough, the
mission Chase the Gunman, put to take the gold car. This is a must. You
can outrun the bad guy, and the gold car handles much better. When the
mission starts, hold the directional button right. Jump into the gold
car, slam it into reverse, then jam it into drive.
Keep the circle button held down until your wheels stop spinning. Also,
don't hit the gunman until you're out of the driveway-you'll bounce and
hit a tree, and once that happens, restart!.
**Submitted By: Kurt, Regular on the Neo Forums**
*Lenny Escaping*- The first half of this mission is easy to drive to but the police make
the drive a real hassle so just use your normal driving techniques to
get to Jericho and make sure you have got enough time to turn down the
alleyway and jump out of your vehicle and into Jericho's.
Once you are with Jericho turn left out of the alley and left into the
next street now look at the map and decide on your route and STICK TO
IT because the cops are out in force today and all they want is your
arse off the street.
When you reach the area with the cannon's just drive up the ramp and
you will see the chopper before the machine takes over.
*Lenny Gets Caught*- This mission will test both your patience and your driving ability
you will need to stay in front of the chopper the whole time and
after you do this mission a few times you will see that the chopper
follows the exact same path and you can use this to find the one
point near the start where the chopper turns and you can go
straight and turn at the next street.
if you look at the map you will see a winding piece of road that
leads to nowhere this is where you will end up and you need to be
in front of the chopper at the start of these turns or you will
lose him, now as you drive past the grass and tree area on your
right you will get a message saying 'the chopper is going down'
this is the signal that you have won, now you just drive around the
corner to the crashed chopper.
Also to add even more tension to this mission Vasquez' men are
around to stop you getting Lenny, these guys will have you ripping
out your hair if they hit you on every attempt.
-Yergin's Notes-
I have since found out that you only have I think two of Vasquez's men
after you and as soon as you lose them both you won't have any more of
his men in the area to bother you.
Now that you have ended the game you will be able to select all the cars in the game
including police, fire engines etc.
With the selection of the police car you can now drive around with NO start up felony
also you will now be able to select director's cut in the view cutscenes menu which means
that you can view the FMV that you get when you load your game up complete from start to the
end.

doorbell.
*Hidden Garage #1*- At the end of the first mission you come up to a garage that you do
not need to jump out and open manually, well in take a ride you
can open it using the switch on the left hand side of the roller
door (unfortunately the police will see you if you are hiding
inside garages so keep the door open).
*Hidden Garage #2*- Turn right at the start and head along the strips, continue
through the lights and turn left onto the side street, follow this

/File 9:Secrets\
================================================================================================
There are many secrets that are in driver 2 but there are only a few that you can get
without completing the whole game
**IMPORTANT NOTE**
------------------------------------------------------------
This is a list of ALL of the secrets that are in the game.
------------------------------------------------------------
-Chicago-
*Black & Yellow Buick*- Go to the baseball stadium and enter it as explained above
now once inside go left and jump out of your vehicle and
go up the ramp at the top of the ramp turn right and
follow it down underneath the stands when you reach the
end just turn right and your prize will be there, now just
jump in and drive.
-Havana-
*Pink & White Mini*- Go to the fenced off area as explained above but when you get
access drive down the road and follow it underground, once
underground go to the end and turn right then a quick left,
follow this until you come to a big room.
Once at the big room go left and then go right following the
path and you will see a gap in the wall on the left hand side
go down this and you will come to a room with the mini on a
raised platform now go to the back of the room and press
triangle on the switch now the mini will lower now jump into
the mini and you will be raised to the ground.
-Extra Help-
Go to the secret area in Havana and kept driving around. Suddenly
I found something useful to get the secret car, Instead of going
inside the tunnel, go around it and keep driving forward, going
away from the tunnel, You will see a hole on the grass,
This is the place where the platform will rise, Get out of your
car, go to it and walk backwards to it, You will fall inside the
tunnel on to the platform where the secret car is, Press Triangle
on the switch, The platform will now go down, Get into the car and
wait, The platform will automatically rise,
Do this instead of going through the confusing tunnel, This is a
cool and useful thing to do.
**Submitted By: Driver2GP, Regular on the Neo Forums**
-Vegas-
*Blue 4x4*- Head down towards the airport and you will see two roads that lead to it
go in between these two roads and you will see a wooden fence and another
area that open to the right of the fence head into the open area and
turn left as soon as you get inside the fence and you will see a switch
just press triangle on it and the other gate will open go in that area
and the truck is behind the building.
*Invincibility*- Head along to the mid-strip area where it meets with tropicana road
once you reach this point head north and look to the right when you
reach a sign saying 'bingo' go tot left of this sign and you will
be at the store front where a switch is press triangle for the
cheat.
-Rio-
*Semi-Truck*- Go to the very top of the map where there is a bump in the road when you
reach this you will see a building next to a fancy looking gate head to
the right of this gate and you will find a switch press triangle and it
will open the gate.
Go inside this area and head as far right as you can and follow along
here you will find the truck behind a building.
*Immunity*- Go to the police impound and when you reach it you will see the impound
with barbed wire around the top go to the right of this and you will come
to a building opposite the impounds car door now you will see three doors
on this building go to the far left one that is on the corner and press
triangle on it.
**How to get to the impound See File:8 Hidden Areas**
*Race Track*- Go to the above race track and when you drive in you will get a message
saying 'you have unlocked a secret game' go to the secrets menu to
access this game.
You cannot do this game within the take a ride for some unknown reason
and when inside the track you cannot access the rest of Rio so you will
have to keep these separate.
*Mountain Pass*- Look at your map and you will see a place called Santa Teresa and you
will see a curved road to the left of it on the other side of the
highway now go to this curved road and you will need to go along the
left hand side road and it will lead you to a mountain road before
the mountain area however is a white fence on either side go to the
start of this and look right next to the fence is the switch jump out
and press triangle on it.
If done properly your car will face west and when you face the switch
you will be facing north.

/File 10:Interesting Stuff\
================================================================================================
This is a list of things you can look at that aren't secret areas or things that unlock
something, these are all very useless but it gives you something to do if you're bored.
If you find something along the lines of what is below go to the Driver 2 forum at
www.neoseeker.com and tell us all about it.
-All Levels-
*Take A Seat*- Go up to a seat and press triangle and nothing else and you will
sit down this is best used on the picnic sort of tables and you
can give Tanner friends if you sit down at a table with people
at it.
Tanner will head forward a long way and sit down if you press up
and if you sit on the long benches he will sit down sideways on
the seat.
*Long Burnout*- Hold down both the burnout and Brake/Reverse buttons to burnout
and drag along the ground, you can do this for as long as you
like and you can spin the car from side to side (little of
course) and then just release the Brake/Reverse button to burnout
off.
Perfect for a Drag race in two player mode, maybe in Driver 3
you can have a drag race in multiplayer or possibly even a
mission, hmm.
*Quick Stop*- While driving along sometimes you will need to brake hard and stop
fast, but using the handbrake takes too long and the Brake/Reverse
sometimes makes you go in reverse!!,
In order to stop quick press both the handbrake and the
Brake/Reverse button together to stop quickly, you will also stop
just as fast by using the burnout and button.
*Cars With Music*- Choose Take a ride in any city, pause the game, put the "music
volume" to zero and later when driving you will hear a sort of
dance music in some cars. No matter how much you crash them,
the music will keep sounding, but when you take them, that
music will turn off. The volume of the music is the lowest in
Havana (it's hard to listen) and the loudest in Rio (that Rio
drums are the same that sound in the "Director's cut"
cutscene, at the beginning of the game).
**Submitted & Named By: Gabriel Pinzón**
*Take A Ride Only Cars*- The fourth cars of Chicago (van), Havana (pick-up truck)
and Rio (recent pick-up truck) and the second car of
Vegas (blue half-spoilt car) from the Take a ride menu
"Choose a car" only can be driven and found in their
respective cities if you choose them from that menu,
and they will not appear in the cities if you choose
any other car to drive.
**Submitted By: Gabriel Pinzón**
**Named By: Yergin**
-Chicago-
*Jump*- When one of the many drawbridges around the city are raising or lowering
just drive the car at top speed to get a huge burst of air if you get it at
the exact right second you can lose a tail by the bridge rising too high
but in a lot of cases the cop re-appears on your side of the bridge but he
is badly damaged.
*Caine's Compound*- Return to Caine's Compound in 'take a ride' to have a complete
area with NO cops and NO other vehicles which means you can just
use it as a drag strip or a burnout centre but whatever you do
no felony will show up, just damage if you hit something along
the way.
*Thirsty?*- Drive to Wicker Park, once there drive south towards the Ukraine Village
underneath the train tracks, when you are driving along the long block
keep your eyes to the right (not the camera view), when you see a big
grassy area look to the right at the building that is the first building
next to the train line, you should see a Mountain Dew sign on the side
of it.
*Navy Pier Part1*- Drive to the Navy Pier marked on the map, once there you will see
a few cool things to muck about on, the main thing to play with
is the ramp on the North side, heading east along the north road
you can drive up the ramp and air off the other side, fun to use
not much use in police pursuits because even if you lose the cops
you can't drive out of there.
**To view the second part of this See File:12 Bugs**
*Freeway Jump*- Go to the only straight exit marked on the map (South-East of the
Ukraine Village), when you are driving along the freeway, head up
the off-ramp and jump to the on-ramp opposite it.
*Drive On The Subway Train Way*- The plain bridges at the west of the Grant Park
(in Chicago) pass over a kind of subway train way
going north and south. With a lot of felony you
can go down to drive on it by making the police
chase you, so you must go to one of that bridges
and park parallel to a border to make the cops
crash you until you fall on the train way. Then you
can drive on that way until you come to any of its
ends where you will fall off to the "abyss" and the
game will be over.
**Submitted & Named By: Gabriel Pinzón**
-Yergin's Notes-
Very hard to pull off the first time I got down was
on my roof but I managed to get there on my second
shot, BUT, your best place to go to is one block
ahead from the start and on the right hand side of
the road.
-Extra Help-
"Drive on the Subway Train Way" was a cool thing to
try. I got it on the second try.
The key is to get two coppers to chase you.
**Submitted By: Swiftshark, Regular on the Neo Forums**
*Red River Bar*- I found this one day when I first got the game but I never saw it
again, until I looked at the Neoseeker Forum, these are the
instructions on how to get there,
##I found the Red River Bar in Chicago. Its one block south
west of Wrigley field on the Southern side of the buildings.##

*Jones' Black Car*- To get his car you must go to Chicago and set the time to day,
not night. When it asks to choose your car, press next
twenty-one (21) times then press select. By the time you start,
you should have Jones' black car.

*D is for Diesel*- The FMV sequence at the end of "tailing the drop" has a little
bit of advertising to see (much like the mountain dew or
yahoo.com ones).
On the side of the boxes that can be seen, there is the logo for
Diesel, ie. the "D".

*Crossable Trainway*- Turn on the cheat Invincibility and play Survival in Chicago.
Go to a trainway and try to make the police hit you so strong
that the front or the rear of your car crosses the trainway.
##THIS IS PART 1 OF A TWO PARTER##
**Submitted & Named By: Gabriel Pinzón**
*Flying Train*- That crossing will prove that the train really flies in the air. Go
to the south end of the trainway in Ukranian Village and make the</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
police pushes you through the wall below the trainway, there you can
see the train flying at the south of the trainway.
##THIS IS PART 2 OF A TWO PARTER##
**Submitted & Named By: Gabriel Pinzón**
*Flipping Odd!!*- In Chicago, I got into a chase on the highway and I slammed the
police car that was following me against the wall, causing him to
flip on his hood. From there, I pushed him down the off-ramp and
under the highway when I was directly under the highway I pushed
the police car into the wall and it somehow ended back up on the
highway.

*Chicago Flubs!*- In chicago if you have a look at the south-east corner of the
stadium you will see on the billboard above the entrance that it
says "Chicago Clubs" when it should read "Chicago Cubs"
**Submitted By: Viper_4411, Regular on the Neo Forums**
**Named By: Yergin**
-Yergin's Notes-
I think that the reason behind why this was named the Chicago Clubs
instead of Cubs is because they didn't have the rights to have the
Cubs written on there?!,
I'm not sure probably wrong but it is just a theory!!
*XXX*- I was driving around and in Greektown on the bottom right box if you
look to your right driving down the road you will see a "Male and female
XXX dancers". I was thinking how funny it was because you had a fake
nudie bar in Vegas, LMAO.
**Submitted & Named By: Viper_4411, Regular on the Neo Forums**
-Yergin's Notes-
There is actually about 7 XXX dance places around this immediate area
and there may be more around the rest of chicago!!!.
-Havana-
*Bastille*- If you look at the map you will see an island that is only accessible via
an underground tunnel, at the north of this island is a road that leads
to an old fort with cannons and all.
when you reach the fort you can do a lot of fun stuff like drive off the
wall and land on 1 of two rooftops I have made it to the second one with
a bus (by fluke) and a normal car (again by fluke) by like I said at the
start with driver you need skill and luck.
*Mansion*- Get onto the main highway at the north of the map, heading east (away from
tunnel) just past the VEDADO part marked on the map you will pass a grassy
area once you have passed two blocks of grass you will see a building with
a ramp on it's right hand side, turn right and head up the ramp, you are
now at the hilltop mansion, now for fun head to the back of the mansion
(towards the main road) and jump off the top down to the road below, try
placing some cars down there for an 'Evil Kninevil'.
*Floating Cars*- Drive to the Ferry in west Havana, once there back up then floor the
car towards the ferry, when the car fly up in the air and you are
still over the ferry, press triangle and up to jump out of the car,
if done properly you will land on the ferry and the car will fly off
into the water.
Now walk up to the end of the ferry and look into the water, you
will now see the car floating/swimming at the bottom of the ocean!!
*Tunnel Jump*- Go to the tunnel entrance that goes to the island off the north of the
map, now head around to rear of the tunnel entrance, you should now
see a grassy area with a statue in the middle.
Now just take a flying leap off the end and you will fly down to the
road that leads to the tunnel, for extra fun try to spin the car
around to land 180º and be facing the tunnel itself, if you manage to
be going fast enough you can land facing the tunnel and the pursuing
cop will fly off facing the other direction.
*Mini Mono*- When you have unlocked the Mini Cooper, drive it up to the corner of a
building now using the burnout button drive up the wall, now using the
left and right keys try to drive off down the road, you can now drive
off on your rear wheels.
this cannot be done with any other car in the game.
**How to get the Mini Cooper See File:9 Secrets**
*
[email protected]?*- From the start turn around, now drive along and take the first
right, now continue past the first street and look along the
right-hand side wall, when you see a gap in the wall stop and
have a look at the right-hand side of the gap in the wall, you
will now see a Yahoo Games sign.

**Named By Yergin**
*Cut Through The Forest*- Drive to the island with the Fort. As soon as you exit the
tunnel drive around the island until you find a Puerto Rican
flag-sign on the side of the road.
Opposite in the trees is a small path through the trees
that brings you to the other side.
It's pretty cool.
**Submitted & Named By Swiftshark, Regular on the Neo Forums**
-Yergin's Notes-
There is actually two cut throughs the one that I believe
you are referring to is very narrow while in approximately
the middle of this area is a wider area to cut through in!,
which makes it easier in some ways for escaping the police.
*Big Pick-Up Truck*- To make the Big pick-up truck appears in Take a ride mode, go to
the Docks and drive from east to west, if it still not appear in
the second crossroad, turn right there (north) and then turn
left (west), so that truck surely will appear and you can steal
it.
**Submitted & Named By: Gabriel Pinzón**
-Vegas-
*Thirsty?*- Go to the bottom of the map and where the garage is (explained above)
and cross the grass over the road from the garage and you will see a
building that has a Mountain Dew sign on it
*High Roller*- When you are driving down the main strips have a look at the sides of
the road, you should see walkways that go over the road, now take any
vehicle (except the limo, explained below), and drive as fast as
possible over the ramp leading up the walkway, you will now jump off
the end of the ramp and go flying through the air, you will now come
crashing down to earth with a huge smash and sparks flying, you get no
damage from doing this.
Sometimes you will land on top of another car and damage yourself, but
you will do more damage to them, plus it's fun seeing them get hammered
sometimes they disappear underground for a while but they always seem
to come back to earth.
-Yergin's Notes-
This Hint is very useful to lose a tail.
**Limo Bug See File:12 Bugs**

*Statue of Liberty*- Maybe they felt guilty about leaving it out of New York in
Driver 1 but here you can see a glowing green statue (smaller
than real life though.
it is on the NW corner of the strips and Tropicana roads easy
to find and not all that exciting to look at.

-Rio-
*Monkey Beach* Take a ride in Rio and make the first left and follow the coast heading
north. Pass "Copacabana" and keep going along the outermost road. You
will pass the residential island called "Irca" or "Inca" - Keep going.
Now, make the first right after the long stretch of buildings and you'll
find yourself on the road that has bushes on both sides. Look for the one
building with the fence around it (The building is yellowish and about 3
or 4 stories high) Right after that you will finally see the beach again.
As soon as you see it hit a hard right and you should see the hidden
beach.
I would recommend the invincibility cheat as you have to cross some water
to get there.

the two curved roads meet)

I may not use all of the above but I believe that I should list all possibilities, Well
read on and have a good laugh!!.
-All Cities-
*Trans Am*- This was never actually a rumour but more misleading advertisement,
the Trans Am was advertised as being in the game but due to extensive
research by myself and others at the neo forum we found that the
Trans Am was in fact not in the game at all.
I added this to the -All Cities- tab because we never got told the
city that it might have been in.
**Reason**- This was just a case of being shown something we
couldn't get, we had it in Driver 1 with the yellow &
black Buick from the stadium being shown on the back
cover of the Driver 1 game, but it wasn't in the game,
maybe they replaced the Trans Am with the buick to make
up for not giving us the buick in Driver 1, either way
I would have preferred the Trans Am, to read more about
this topic and even see a photo of the Trans Am, copy
the link at the bottom of this FAQ, Thanx must go to
all that helped out with the finding of the Trans Am.
**See File 17:Acknowledgments**
-Chicago-
*Guns*- This is the oldest one, the instructions are to go across from the stadium
that you find the secret car in, and then press /\ on an emergency fire
escape ladder, I can't remember the rest but it goes along those lines.
**Reason**- The reason that this lie came out was because people saw
Tanners shadow that looks like he's carrying some guns, this
is also why people believed the lie!.
*Trains*- The trains was a good little joke, I even had a look myself before I
started writing this FAQ, the spam was walk up onto any platform then
press /\ when the train comes in.
**Reason**- This one I think came about because of the Grand Theft Auto
series, because you can jump on and off the trains in that.
*Planes*- The planes confused a lot of people, I never had an interest to fly one,
the lie was press a lever or panel at the control tower then, jump into
one of the planes, some amateur liars posted just pressing /\ at the side
of one of the planes.
**Reason**- Fairly obvious, They were there, it's easy to fool someone
when they can see half of the lie.
*Jones Black Car*- This one was fairly boring, press next 21 times *YAWN* no wonder
it took me so long to actually try it out.
**Reason**- someone with too much time on their hands, but I
don't ever remember seeing Jones in a black car??.
*Odd-World*- This Bug I can't get to work, I have tried to get it to work but so far
nothing.
**Reason**- I think that this was a one time event that may or may
not ever happen again, if you get it to work, drop me a
line or come and visit me at the neo forum using the
link at the bottom of this FAQ.
**See File 17:Acknowledgments**
-Odd-World Confirmed!!-
Hey, good job on your faq, I just needed to tell you that the
Odd-World bug is true, but it is entirely random. I got it to
happen in Chicago, I was just driving when all of a sudden, I
saw cars sinking into the ground. I decided to see what was
going on,
So I drove into it and my car ended up in the air, started
flipping around wildly, and the damage bar filled up all the
way. That's about it.
**Confirmed by: WazzupGenius90**
*7 Secret Cars*- This was just aimed at those new to the game and only had Chicago
unlocked, to get these you needed to go to the Ukraine Village and
look for a building with 3 doors!!, after you find it open one of
the doors and you will have them.
**Reason**- Just gives the new people hope of new cars to hoon
about in, but if you read it, all that you get is a
building with 3 doors!! all the buildings have 3
doors, and also how are you meant to get out with
these new cars!!
*Schoolbus Speeding*- This was just a bad case of wishful thinking and because
people know how slow the buses are they can easily believe
this, the cheat was that you could go as fast as wanted in
the bus without being chased.
**Reason**- Wishful Thinking, but maybe this person was
speeding past a cop but wasn't going fast
enough to be chased!!.
*CARvertible*- go to where the Navy Pier is. When you get to the long, straight-away
road, get out of your car, and run to where the road turns into an oval.
When you get there, run around that oval road 4 times. Then run back to
your car, and it will have turned into a Convertible, way better than
the one in Wrigley Stadium.
**Reason**- Just another lonely repressed person trying to confuse some
poor bugger into thinking that there is yet another secret
car in the game!, sorry to say but there ain't!!!

-Havana-
*Tank*- The tank I'm not sure how you were meant to get this, but I heard that once
you got it you could drive round in it, move the turret with the AS and even
fire by pressing in the AS.
**Reason**- The person saw the tank up on the pedestal then thought I want
that, I find this one the funniest because I remember trying
to get the tank, I didn't get it and knew that it wasn't
possible.
-Vegas-
*Strip Joint*- This person needs to get their hand off it long enough to play the
game, the person who thought of this is obviously a regular sperm
donor down at the local nudie bar!!, anyway the way you were meant to
get this was by going up to the airport and finding a man in black,
after you find him he gives you two tickets to the strip joint around
the corner, also to cover themselves, they write, the man in black is
not always there!!, of course he isn't!!!
**Reason**- Sexually deprived young Teenager (need I say more?)
*18 Wheeler*- In the Secret Construction Site there are two 18 wheelers that are sitting
on top of the two towers on either side of the entrance, i don't ever
remember hearing of a way to get these but alot asked!!.
**Reason**- Truckers kid wanting to haul ass like dad does (or mum, we live
in an equal opportunity country both here in Oztraylya and over
there in America), however it looks like we have to wait for
Driver 3 before we drive this beast on the road.
*Casino time!*- Go to the area with all the yellow mailboxes, get out of your car, and
look for a bloke in a dark suit. press triangle on him and the display
will say "you unlocked a secret game".
After that, get back in your car, drive to the hotel, a secret door
should now be open and now get out of your car and go in. you will be
able to play the slot machines, video poker, roulette tables.
**Reason**- Gambling addict who is probably used to dealing with strange
blokes in black suits, wishful thinking that he could have a
way to gamble without losing!.
**Submitted & Named By: David Rice**
-Rio-
*Helicopter*- This one was fairly in-depth, the way you obtained this helicopter was by
pressing /\ on the button to get the Mountain Pass track, after you
pressed that you then had to race quickly down to the fort where you see
the helicopter in the final missions, if you got there in time you got
the helicopter to fly around in, but if you were too slow you missed out
on getting a fly, of course this was intended to make you go nuts trying
to get there in time.
**Reason**- Saw the Planes joke then decided to take it even further,
well thought up, easily confused many people.
*London*- This one got many people, I had to check out the validity of it to get a good
idea of what to tell people, the way I checked it was by putting the first CD
into my PC then looking at the files on it, and guess what NO LONDON, the
scam itself was pretty poor, walk up to a man dressed in black (he's Baaaack)
then press a button next to him, after that run back to your car and drive
off, once you outrun the man you will get two tickets to London and you will
have it unlocked in the cheats menu.
**Reason**- Wanted to give people the hope of playing another level, maybe
even play on the fact of 37 missions instead of 40, either way,
you can't walk anywhere near someone without them running
off!!.
*Dune Buggy*- This was a stupid little bit of spam, to get the dune buggy you needed to
go to Rio and get into the first red car you saw (without a black roof)
and then Hop in, hop out, then hop in again, pause hold l1, then press x,
x, x, square, triangle, up, down, left, up, square, triangle, x, triangle,
circle, x, triangle, circle.
**Reason**- Give the idea of another car being in the game!!, as I said
though very stupid!!!.
*Rio Train*- This person got confused when they thought of this!!, this is what they
wrote!!,
If you drive north in Rio, you can drive a train. if you go far enough
north, find the train. get out of your car and go back to the streets. if
you molest the first person you see he will say "Rape, Rape" or "Ahh you
!@%$# pervert!" if he does so run back to the train get in and you'll get
to drive it!.
**Reason**- Some dopey idiot got confused while pulling too hard and came
up with the idea of this, Now the only way to get to a train
is to watch them in Chicago, drown in one in Vegas, or by
using 'The Trick' to get into the area in Rio!!.
**How to do 'The Trick' See File:13 The Glitch Report**
*Boosters*- This was a bit stupid, why would there be boosters for the cars in this
game, to get the boosters you needed to Pause in Rio and press R1(x2),
R2(x4), O, /\(x2), X. Now exit and go to options, then gameplay and finally
go to secret, click on boosters and turn them on.
Go back to Rio, pick a car and now have boosters, which are activated with
the select button.
**Reason**- Probably got sick of going so slow and wanted to speed the
cars up!.
-False Cheats-
*Unflipping The Car*- This cheat was meant to get your car back on it's wheels
after you have flipped it onto it's roof,
The code- Press O and L + R alternately.
*Undercover Level Skip*- This cheat is meant to get peoples hopes up, sorry to
say, ain't gonna happen!!
The code- Press: L2, R1, X, O, R2, L1.
*Get Guns*- The old one again only this time you need a code for it, it plays
on the fact of pause menu cheats, also on Tanners shadow.
The code- When you are in Havana pause the game and press the
following codes: L2x2, R1, R2, L1x2, X, O. Then go out
of the menu screen, press L2 and that will draw the
guns. Then press O to shoot. You have to be out of the
car.
*Unlock Everything*- This one was just a lie to get people confused, the code
made you press a few buttons when you finished the whole
game, of course even if you didn't press these you would
get everything
The code- When you beat the game, wait for the system
to load back to the main menu.
While it is loading, hold L1+L2+O+[].
*Full Cheats Menu*- This was just a lame attempt to confuse new people to the
game.
The code- From the Main Menu press the following
sequence 10 times: 0+L1+R2+/\+L1+[]. Now press
L1, go to Chicago and press R1+R2 together.
*Get All Weapons*- Again the guns only another way to get them!!, and if
anybody was dumb enough to do this they deserve to get
nothing for their trouble!!.
The code- Complete the game 10 times on hard and then
press and hold 0+L2+L1+R2+x.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**

/File 12:Bugs\
================================================================================================
There is bound to be a lot of bugs in the game so if you find one go to the Driver 2 forum
and tell us all about it,
All of the below bugs were tested by me and have been proven/disproven, the ones that have
been disproven have gone through to the Rumours file so if you want to know more about one of
the disproven bugs go there,
The disproven bugs have a listing for the rumours section under it, so if it says nothing
underneath it then it has been proven and works.
-Main Menu-
*Free Cutscenes*- When you unlock a new city you can view all of the cutscenes by
clicking on previous when you do so the picture will be fuzzy
but just click select to view it.
If you go past a cutscene you would like to view you need to
click previous the whole way back to get the cutscene again
because clicking next on an unavailable cutscene will return you
to the first cutscene.
When you complete the city this option will obviously be removed
but you will no longer need it.
I found this out purely by coincidence and haven't seen it
anywhere else which surprises me.
-All Levels-
*Now You See It*- When you steal a car and you turn too sharply one of the
hubcaps will fly off, but when you get out of the car the hubs
are back on.
if you decide to get back in you will not get the hubs back
which sucks coz I like seeing them fly off.
*Tanners Shadow*- When you look at Tanners shadow he appears to be carrying two
guns but when you look left or right (L2/R2) he is not holding
anything at all.
*Unavailable Now Available*- If get to a part where Tanner cannot run into
(invisible walls) then try pressing backwards
Tanner can now get to previously unavailable
places.
This can also be done on some things with the car
but there is nothing much that I have found.
*Taxi!!*- Ever hailed a cab and it didn't stop??, I bet we all have, well for a
laugh run onto the road and press triangle on a passing car WITHOUT it
stopping and you will climb into thin air and after it has gone through
the normal processes you will be inside the car that just passed you,
now, if only we could do that to a taxi!!
*Panel Beating*- With the invincibility cheat turned on smash into another car
after you have caused damage of any degree, jump out and steal
that car when you next hit a wall or another vehicle your cars
damage will be gone.
*Invincible Peds*- While driving around in take a ride or any mission you may,
either accidentally or on purpose you may 'hit' a pedestrian,
however no matter where you how you hit them your car will
just pass through them and they will run off like normal.
*Sidewalking*- When you are walking along in the normal overhead view press and
hold either L2 or R2 to look to one side,
With this pressed in change the camera view to out of Tanners eyes
when you do this release the button to find that you are looking
to the side while Tanner runs forward!!.
*On Foot Pursuit*- When you do the below trick to have the cop chase an empty car,
wait and do not take a new car, eventually the police car will
return and drive through you until it crashes and sets on fire,
The police car cannot kill you while on foot!.
*Empty Car Chase*- This is a weird trick but it works. First get in a car and get
into a cop chase. Drive around until they make a roadblock. Wreck
the cop and back up until they've lost you (meaning your minimap
in the corner and the music goes back to normal). Get out and wait
for a civilian car to drive up to the roadblock. Get in it and
slowly drive into a cop car in the roadblock.
When the siren starts, immediately get out. If all went well the
cop will keep driving into that car until it wrecks.

*Angle Driving*- I was in Take a ride mode the other day and i was changing views
(SELECT button). Anyway I was in cockpit view and then pressed it a
2nd time (when the car goes away from camera to the distance), but
this time I held it and the car never went away! (except when I
released it).
I thought it was pretty cool, especially with the police cars coz
it has the police logo on the back (You have to go a certain speed
to do this) The bad thing is though, is when you're in that view
you can't see what's in front of you.

-Chicago-
*Jump Out Of A Flying Car*- When driving in take a ride you will find many bridges
that raise and lower, for this cool bug you need to
speed up to the rising bridge and just as you hit the
top press triangle and up.
If done correctly Tanner will hop out and slide down
the other side of the bridge and the car will fly off
and stop when it runs out of momentum.
-Yergin's Notes-
I was informed that this bug can be performed on other
levels but I put it on this level only because this one is
the best level to get air off, thanks to Gabriel Pinzón
for the E-mail that informed me of this.
*Missing Link #1*- Have a look at the map and you will see that the train tracks go
into a square shape, head towards this part, now drive along the
road that leads directly onto the freeway (this roads goes east
and turns in an L shape north) while driving along this look
north and you will see that part of the building is missing.
the part missing is in between two buildings and has two plants
in front of it.
if you drive off this you will fall off into the void and the
game will be over.
*Missing Link #2*- Go to the part of the map where the first mission (Surveillance
Tip off) ends and the second mission (chase the witness) starts.
go along the road heading north that is on the left hand side,
as you go along here look at the rails preventing entry to the
water, between two buildings you will see that part of this
barrier is missing, walk backwards through this and you will now
be on the other side of the wall, unfortunately you cannot walk
forward you can only walk backwards, there is nothing of real
interest in there, but if you want to end the take a ride mode
jump step backwards into the water.
And one final note this water actually looks like you have
drowned instead of you floating on top of the water.
*Backdoor Entry*- (Mission 8 "Leaving Chicago"): At the end of this mission drive
behind the train station instead of out the front, but when the
game takes over you will be out the front of the building!!.
This building is along the "Subway Train Way" explained below.
*Ramped Out*- Drive to where the second mission ends and the third mission starts in
take a ride, once there try to walk up the ramp at the back, when you
start to walk up it you think that all is normal, but when you reach
the top you will fall through the ramp and land on the ground, you
can't make it onto the platform, which is a bit of a pity because
there seems to always be a train there!!
*Crowd Surfing*- Once you've opened the stadium as you normally would to get the
secret car, walk up the ramp, once at the top turn around and face
the baseball pitch.
Now walk into one of the two tops of the ramp itself, you will now
be able to walk into and on top of the crowd, on the right hand
side of the barrier you can't drown at all, but if you walk on the
main crowd area if you walk backwards into the crowd you will
drown.
**how to get in the stadium See File:8 Hidden Areas**
*Navy Pier Part 2*- Sometimes when you lose the tail at the navy pier after you dump
the car you can have the police cruiser still chasing you??, he
will drive through you and won't be able to damage you.
I can't remember what happened when I got a new car but I think
he smashed me and the car went through a wall (it was a while ago
that I had this happen to me!)
**To view the first part of this See File:10 Interesting Stuff**
*Ha Ha!!!*- When driving around in Chicago and you get chased by the police head to
the carpark in downtown (marked with a J shape and four triangles), once
there you can drive into the carpark and the police will just be
reversing and driving forward towards you but they will not pass through
into the carpark.
All that you need to do now is drive around to another one of the
entrances to the carpark to escape the police.
*Sidewinder*- When driving over one of the rising bridges I decided to wreck my car
by driving it into the gap between the two bridges, as I did this the
car ended up rolling onto it's side and nothing!!!
When you land your car on it's side on top of the lowering bridge you
seem to have a longer time to get back onto your wheels than if you
were to land on your side elsewhere in the city!.
-Yergin's Notes-
I think that if you don't have your wheels spinning the game does not
recognize that you aren't on your wheels?!,
By that I mean, when you stop for a red light it doesn't tell you that your
vehicle is wrecked, but when you land on your side the wheels are always
spinning so the game registers that the car has no traction?,
Probably far fetched but just an idea behind why this would happen!!.
*Odd-World*- I imagine it works with other cars but for me I parked a skool bus on
the raising bridge in Chicago and waited for it to raise.. when it
did the bus slid down and went a few meters on its back end.. then
sunk below the floor.. that was odd but then as I started running
around to find myself a new car suddenly cars started falling from
the sky.. car shadows were driving around and from time to time a
sidestreet would take me below the map.. all in all.. a very chaotic
world was born.

**To read about this Bug See File:11 Rumours**
-Yergin's Notes-
I added this to the Rumours section of this FAQ because i could not
confirm it's truth, i asked for any e-mails on the subject to which
i got a reply from WazzupGenius90 who said that it is random, so still
the way that Bastard11 did it may work or not it was most likely a
fluke and this bug can happen in various ways to which we will never
know!!.
**To read WazzupGenius90's E-mail See File:11 Rumours**
*Chicago Pileup*- Take a ride in Chicago and go to any of the raising bridges. Park
as many cars, busses, firetrucks etc on the bridge and then watch
the carnage as the bridge goes up. This can cause very weird
glitches. If you park one car at the foot of the bridge in line
with a truck, bus etc., the car will go flying for a helluva long
ways once the truck comes crashing down on it.
**Submitted & Named By: Swiftshark, Regular on the Neo Forums**
*Ghost Cop*- When a cop follows you over the drawbridges in Chicago. Sometimes if
he falls in, you can see the shadow of his car on the ground, and
sometimes even hear the engine of the policecar, but it's nowhere to
be seen!!
**Submitted & Named By: DrFred, Forum Moderator on the Neo Forums**
*Short Cut*- (Mission 7 "Caine's Compound"): When you come to the road for the
second time and encounter the van, I actually went right into the
trucks attempting to cheat my way and squeeze through. I succeeded
once, but only once.
It was the far right, up against the wall. I drove into the corner
jammed up against the wall and the truck. When the van came and rammed
me, my car managed to be pushed through. It was a massive fluke however
b/c I have since tried a few times and haven't been able to get it
again.

-Yergin's Notes-
This is possible but extremely hard to do, I wouldn't bother trying to do
this scortcut and just stick with the longcut.
-Havana-
*Dead End*- (Mission 10 "Hijack the truck"): with the escort taken out you cannot
drive too far away from the truck or else you fall off the end of the
road so you can't leave the truck to attack the other escorts in the
area.
This bug is unfair to the player who is having problems with this
mission.
You can tell where the road ends because it will look like the water
does and you will need to use the normal brake if you are driving fast
along the road.
**This bug is also in the next mission after hijack the truck,
(Mission 11 "Stop The Truck")**
*Which Way Did He Go George?!*- (Mission 10 "Hijack the truck"): right at the start
before giving the escort a chance to chase you, jump
out of your car and when you look back, your car will
no longer be there!!
*Whoops!!*- (Mission 10 "Hijack the truck"): When you make it to the end of this
level after you have driven the truck into the lock up drive it outside
again and shut the door, although the truck is outside you will still
complete the mission.
*Whoops!! #2*- (Mission 10 "Hijack the truck"): Steal another car then drive off
from the lock-up, when you drive back to the lock-up, there will be NO
cars at all, none, zip, nil, but you can still shut the lock-up and
complete the mission?!.
*Rain Ride*- (Mission 13 "Escape to ferry"): Start this mission with immunity on, now
drive around but don't go to the ferry, you can now drive around like in
take a drive mode, only you will be in the wet, you can dump your car
and steal a new one if you wanted to.
But if you drive to the ferry it will drive off into the sunset and
disappear, but you can still drive around??, YOU CANNOT FAIL THIS
MISSION!!, I tried waiting for the ferry on the other side but it
doesn't come over!.
*Abra Cadabra*- (Mission 13 "Escape to ferry" & mission 14 "To the docks"): When you
complete the first mission in the original car you have a Red car,
But when you start the next mission, you have a Green car of the same
type, %*POOF*% I should be a magician!!
*Immunity Chase*- (Mission 14 "To the docks"): Start this mission with immunity on,
and after you drive through the tunnel, continue straight, you</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
should see a roadblock of two police cars with lights flashing,
now hit one or both of them, their lights will turn off and they
will give a very lame chase.
*Lake Drive*- If you head west away from the base along the south road you will come
upon some raised bits in the road at each raised piece it looks as
though it is water!!
But you can drive over & along it.
Also you can drive to the edge and drive along the outside of the grass
area to the next raised piece of land!!
*Bargain Basement*- Go to the place where you get the secret car, and open the gates
after you have opened the gates go back to the road and get a cop
to chase you back down the road into the base and down the
corridor at the end,
While going down this the corridor the cop will smash into every
single wall on the way down until he completely kills himself,
After you lose the cop go to the room where you found the Mini,
and smoldering in the middle of the room will be the cop that
you just lost.
*Smash Job*- Go to get the secret car, once you have gained access to the base and
worked your way down to the mini, press the button to lower the platform,
once the platform has lowered, smash into the mini with your car, when
the mini is completely wrecked the game will say "You wrecked your vehicle"
and the game will be over.
*Inverted Letter In Cop Cars*- Havana cop cars have a letter and a phone number in
both sides of the cars, but that signs are inverted
in their right sides.
**Submitted & Named By: Gabriel Pinzón**
*Language Error*- The buses in Havana has letters that say "Havana", as that city is
called in English. That letters should say "La Habana" cause this
is its name in Spanish (remember that the island "East Havana" of
the map is translated as "La Habana del Este").
**Submitted & Named By: Gabriel Pinzón**
*Cellular Division*- (Mission 10 "Hijack the truck"): When you have driven the
ammunition truck inside your garage and the "close the door"
letter appears, if you have enough time you can get inside of a
blue sedan located inside the garage and facing north (that's
the only other car in the garage). If you get inside this car
you can see that when you try to move it forward (with gas or
burnout) or reverse the car will transform in two like a
cellular division but featuring a strong wreck side by side and
you'll stay in the new left car
Note: If you crash the blue car before getting inside it, the
division will not happen!
**Submitted & Named By: Gabriel Pinzón**
-Yergin's Notes-
This is weird when I did it the car just flew off into the wall,
mad find Gabriel, keep it coming mate.
*Water Wings*- Go to the area where the ferry is in western Havana(the main part) and
get out of your car. walk up the ferry just enough to get in the
water.
Without getting on the ferry, run left or right. you can walk really
far away from the boat on the water without you drowning.
**Submitted & Named By: Solomon Caine, Regular on the Neo Forums**
*Vanishing Act*- In Havana, when you find the truck with the flat bed (it's down by the
docks), if you get far enough away from it, it will disappear but the
shadow will be on the ground, moving with where the truck should be.
I tried this with all the other cars but they stayed visible until the
pop-up graphics took them into oblivion.
You have to be about 50 feet away. Not so far away that it disappears,
but just far enough away so that the truck disappears and the shadow of
it is still on the ground. Try trailing it and slowly dropping farther
and farther back.

-Vegas-
*Floating Train*- Drive to the train that you raced in the mission 'beat the train'
(found at the north and right of the ghost town) and exit your
vehicle, now run over to the train and press triangle as if you
are entering a car, you will now be stuck inside the train with a
message stating that you have drowned.
*Magician's Act*- Drive to the garage explained above from the first mission in
Vegas and open the garage now place a car in the way of the door
and shut it now as the door hit's the car it seems to fall off the
edge of the map.
Occasionally the vehicle will re-appear with about 40%-50% damage,
not a useful bug but funny to watch.
**See File:7 Step-by-Step Walkthrough**
*Mission Instructions*- Drive around the city until you find a stationery police car
(most found in poolside) that is showing on the map (so if a
cop is at a set of lights stopped try it) when you have
found one jump out and press triangle on it now a message
will be shown saying 'change vehicles and get out of there'
this may be a secret mission or part of a mission I don't
know.
-Yergin's Notes-
I got an E-mail about the secret mission bit, it turns out
these are the instructions at the end of the beat the train
mission, Sorry about the confusion people:).
*What Happened!!*- Go to Flamingo drive and head north along the only curved road that
goes off it, after you have gone around the first curve you will
see a building on your left, drive around this building on it's
left side, when you are on it's left side have a look at it, you
will notice that there is nothing there, you can drive into this
and the game will be over but if you head over to the left hand
side of the building you will sometimes be flipped onto your side
and you will slide along the void until you die from being on your
side for too long.
Further more sometimes this part can stuff up the whole level and
buildings will be missing, walls and barriers will be missing, if
this happens just drive to Lakeside and by the time that you get
back everything should be fixed.
*Silencer*- (Mission 23 "Bank Job"): Nick a police car before getting to the bank then
after you have picked up Jericho turn on your siren to hear...............
NOTHING?!?
You get a silent siren no matter how many times you turn on & off your
siren!!
But when you go to replay your siren works?!?
*The Trains*- If you head to the ghost town find your way to the Train, if you head
east you will find one end of the train, if you hit this end, no matter
how softly you hit it, you will go flying into the air and backwards
along the track, but if you travel west you can drive into this end
of the train and drive as though you are driving along the road, you can
spin it up but then it will stop and you can listen to the engine as the
car would normally 'pick up speed'?!
**added because I got so many E-mails about this**
*Get Up There!!*- When driving a limo around you can't drive up and get air off the
the walkways along the strips because the car is too long, but if
you drive towards the airport along the main freeway that leads away
from Lakeside, you will see a raised piece of the freeway that is on
the right of the road but leads left, now drive up this off-ramp,
you will now hit an invisible wall!!, you will eventually be able to
get through the wall but by this time you would have already done
a lot of damage to your limo.
*Going Up!!*- When driving down the strips you will sometimes be involved in a pursuit
if you are pinned down near one of the overhead walkways just drive the
car underneath it and when the cops hit you, you will fly up through the
bottom of the walkway and on top of the walkway itself,
When you are on top of the walkway have a look down at the cops below
using the camcorder view, after a while the cops will kill themselves
and you can drive off safely.
*LimoSEEN!!*- Steal a limo and go to the place you get the secret car. once there jump
out of the limo and hit the switch. After you hit the switch turn around
and the limo's gone!
*Smash Job*- Go to where the secret car is, once you have opened the gate to get to the
4X4, drive in and smash into the 4X4 with your car, when the 4X4 is
completely wrecked the game will say "You wrecked your vehicle" and the game
will be over.
*Missing Instruction*- (Mission 24 "Steal the ambulance"): If you replay this mission
with the inmunity turned on, the mission will start with no
escort (cop car), but when you have wrecked the ambulance and
you get in it the "Take him over to the safe house" instruction
will not appear and you will stay with no destination to go to
in order to finish the mission within the remaining time (and
that time will not be enough to arrive to the safe house).
**Submitted & Named By: Gabriel Pinzón**
-Yergin's Notes-
Well I managed to make it to the safe house with about 15 secs
remaining and the door would not open at all!!,
as the saying goes, cheaters never prosper and this proves it!!.
*Highway Reserve*- From the start point on Take a Ride, go straight. At that
intersection, make a right. At the next intersection, make another
right and go straight. Eventually along the right side during a
left hand curve, there will be breaks in the concrete barriers
guarded by small posts. You can't drive through them, but you can
walk through them.
Anyway, walk through the first opening and walk back through the
way you came. You might run into "invisible walls" that you can
walk around by going left or right. Eventually, you'll be walking
through a long narrow area that ends near a curve. Around in this
area, you'll drop through the ground, but you'll be able to look
up at the bottoms of the nearby roads while you get to read the

-Yergin's Notes-
You can actually get a car in this area and it is really fun to do!!
**How to get a car in this area See File:13 The Glitch Report**
*Walk In & Drive Away!*- (Mission 19 "Casino Getaway") Before you pick up Caine's gang,
get out of your car and run to the arrow instead. The game will
take over and automatically give you a brand spankin' new,
crisp, orange Mustang.

-Rio-
*Invisible Wall #1*- (Mission 33 "Boat Jump") Sometimes when you drive off the end of
the boat you hit an invisible wall and fall into the water, this
can be a sad ending to a mission you may have problems with.
*Invisible Wall #2*- When driving through one of 4 or 5 tunnels around the city you will
sometimes hit a wall when you travel too close to the actual tunnel
wall.
*Invisible Wall #3*- When you have unlocked the secret game of the Race Track, drive
into the grounds and try to drive around the track, when you go to
drive over some of the jumps you hit an invisible wall, you won't
be able to drive around the track in take a ride, you can only
drive around it in the secret game mode.
*Jump*- Turn the invincibility cheat on and go to 'take a ride' mode once in Rio turn
right and then right again,
You will now be going along the road that has the beach to the left, you will
have to drive along this road for a while, but you will eventually find a small
bridge with water going under it.
Drive into the water on the left and try to drive under the middle of the bridge
as you do so you will fly up into the air, this will happen every time you hit
it.
*Ha Ha!!!*- When you are being chased by the police head to the fort that you go to get
Lenny in the mission-Lenny Escaping, once there you will notice an arch,
drive through the arch and have a look at the cop(s) they will now reverse
back then drive forward but will not pass through the arch.
occasionally when there is two cops one will eventually pass through and
chase you, when this happens just hammer him and then go back to taunt the
other cop.
In order to lose the cops just drive up the ramp at the back and to the
furthest point you can get to, once you have lost the cops drive halfway
back jump out of the car and then walk back to the road.
**See File:7 Step-by-Step Walkthrough**
*Boat*- Go to the boat from the mission 'boat jump' and go onto the pier and slow right
up and land the car in the gap between the pier and the boat so that the car
starts to fall now jump out of the car and watch it for a while, after a few
moments the car will be nearly completely sideways, now jump in and the car will
bounce up a fair bit to allow you to drive out.
*Quick Asphalt?!*- While I was driving around I decided to grab a Bus and take it for a
spin, I took it west along the winding road the connects Cosme Velho
and Flamengo, (Above Botalfogo and below Santa Tereza),
when I crashed the bus at the most prominent S curve (Last one
heading west) I got out and saw a car drive along the road then
disappear into the road, his shadow drove along the road and
continued until it disappeared through the nearby buildings, after a
while of pissing myself laughing I decided to see what the other
drivers had done,
When I drove off into the road I disappeared under the ground and my
screen started spinning and my damage bar went up slowly (Like it
does in the water in Rio), after my car was wrecked I ended up being
in the brown section on the map just below the curve.
*Invisible Hubcaps*- While driving around in take a ride mode take a corner too harsh
and one of your hubcaps will fall off,
But you won't be able to see the hubcap, all that you see is a
shadow of the hubcap floating along the ground.
*Water No-Fall?!*- Turn Invincibility on and drive into any of the water near the edge
of the map (Copacabana),
Drive to the end of the water until you can see that there is no
where else to go,
Slowly drive over the edge and you will start jumping about on one
corner of the car only, sometimes you will get stuck suspended in
mid-air,
Something similar can also be done at the mountains of the secret
game 'Mountain Pass'.
**How to get the Mountain Pass See file:9 Secrets**
*LimoSEEN!!*- Turn immunity and invincibility on. (I'm not sure if they're required). Get a
limo and go to the place you get the secret semi. Get out of your limo and
hit the switch. Now turn back around and your car's gone! Disappeared into
thin air!
##THIS IS PART 1 OF A TWO PARTER##
**Submitted By: Bejiittenkusu**
**Named By: Yergin**
*Smash Job*- I then stole another car and went towards the semi. When you have
invincibility on, you can completely demolish a car and get back in, so I
demolished the semi.
Then, my screen read: "You wrecked your vehicle." But the vehicle I was in
was completely fine.
##THIS IS PART 2 OF A TWO PARTER##
**Submitted By: Bejiittenkusu**
**Named By: Yergin**
-Yergin's Notes-
The above two were separated because of the fact that they can be done
separately for example, you can smash the semi without even touching a limo!!,
Also for both of these you don't have to have any cheats enabled you can smash
the semi and have 30% damage and still die!.

/File 13:The Glitch Report\
================================================================================================
The other day I found out a cool glitch in the game and the reason why I didn't add it
to the Bugs section was because there is sooo many places that you can do this and I have
only hit the tip of the iceberg,
I am no longer taking submissions to this section, thanks to all that were asking about this
on the net and the people who actually told some places to check out.
**CONSUMER WARNING**
------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FOLLOWING MAY AGGRAVATE YOU SO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM BREAKING
THINGS, THIS INCLUDES, CONTROLLERS, MEMORY CARDS AND MOST
IMPORTANT OF ALL, THE PLAYSTATION. (I ONLY BROKE A LITTLE PIECE
OFF OF MY CONTROLLER!!)-(SO FAR!!)
------------------------------------------------------------------
-All Levels-
*You Can Do It*- I did this purely by accident, Turn Invincibility ON, Immunity
doesn't matter if it's ON or OFF, now drive towards any wall
around the levels and handbrake spin the car,
Now as the car spins press Triangle and Up to jump out of the
car, if done correctly the car will spin a little further and
will pass through the wall but only half-way, you need the car
to have at least one of the doors on your side of the wall,
Walk up to the cars door and get in, the car will now pop
through the wall and onto the other side,
If it pops back onto the side you were on the car was not far
enough through the wall, also if the car hits the wall after you
jump out Invincibility was Not turned on.
When driving around outside the fences you will need to watch
the ground, if you start to drive over a no texture bit you are
in danger of falling through the ground and the game will be
over,
Sometimes you can drive on these no texture bits but watch out
because you don't want to fall in before you have a chance to
explore this new area fully.
I have noticed that you can't do 'The Trick' at a place where
there is two fences close together as the car won't pass through
the second fence.
* Will be referred to below as 'The Trick' *
-Chicago-
*The Beach*- If you drive to the GOLD COAST you will see just above the GOLD is a
90° turn, drive around to the turn then head north towards the entrance
to the freeway,
Before the on-ramp you will see that the concreted wall will end and
you will see a grass patch,
In between the concrete wall and the grass patch is a small area
where the wall will curve in and then meet the concrete wall, this is
where you want to be,
walk into this gap and walk into the end of the wooden wall, now you
should pass through the wall and into the grass patch, in order to get
a car into this area you will need to do 'The Trick', once you have a
half-way or even the full way through the wall just jump in and drive
around this cool area.
This area spans from as far south as the Navy Pier and as far north as
just above the last on/off ramp to the north east of the map,
In order to get out of here just drive underneath one of the on/off
ramps and you will be put onto the road above.
Another cool thing to do in this area is to not put immunity on and
get police on your tail, when the police are chasing just drive along
and they will be going nuts ramming the walls to try and get to you,
if you are underneath the overhead parts of the freeway and you have
the police chasing you they will sometimes place a roadblock underneath
the freeway, if you hit one of the cops he will give chase, but if you
want to lose him push him under an on/off ramp and he will be on the
road and of no threat to you whatsoever.
While in this area you can walk onto and off of the beach which you
will find along the way, you can drive down onto the sand but there is
not many places that you can get back up on.
-Havana-
**Move Along, Nothing To See Here!**
-Vegas-
*Lakeside*- Have a look at your map and you will see Lakeside written on the map, go
to this area and using 'The Trick' get into the lake itself, once inside
the lake you will find a mad grass banked rally track surrounding the lake
this area is also lined with trees.
To get out of here you must use 'The Trick' again, But you will only have
one chance of getting it right otherwise you are stuck to ride the track
until you crash into the water and the game will be over.
At some points you will be able to travel a fair way out onto the water,
but if you travel too far out you will fall in.
*The Airport*- Have you ever looked at the planes on the other side of the fence in
Vegas and wanted to have a look at them?,
Well I've wondered and now I have had a look for myself, do 'The Trick'
at any fence along near the planes once on the other side you will be
able to drive under the planes, you cannot get into these planes,
however it is funny to walk underneath one to see the planes wings
hanging in mid air,
The planes themselves don't even have wheels they just sort of float
there, in order to get out of this area you will need to do the trick
again, you will only have one shot at this!.
You will also notice in this area there is an oblivion just to the
front of the planes, if you drive off this the game will be over.
*Highway Reserve*- Go to the area explained in the Highway Reserve above, once there
do 'The Trick' to get a car into this area, walk in and jump into
your car, drive towards the highway and watch the ground very
carefully,
Keep to the right wall and follow it towards the highway, you will
soon find yourself at the off ramp of the highway, drive carefully
around the corner and into the small area next to the off ramp,
this area has no texture on the ground,
At the end of this part you will find yourself driving up the
outside of the off ramp on an invisible wall, you can drive along
the outside of the highway for a while,
If you fall off this you will fall through the ground and the game
will be over.
You can't get a car in the area under the highway, this is because
it will fall through the ground and disappear, however if you get
the car under the highway itself the car will sometimes end up on
top of the highway,
If the car ends up like this just hit it with your car and you will
fly off into the air, quite funny to watch.
**How to get here See File:12 Bugs**
-Rio-
*Take Me To The River*- Have a look at the map and you will see that there is a place
called Lebion marked in the bottom left corner, just above the
E there is two blocks and then one long block,
Head to the bottom of the long block and use 'The Trick' to get
into this area, once inside you can travel up the length of the
whole long block,
If you try to get to the two bottom blocks you can't because as
soon as you hit the bridge you do the 'Jump' and you can't pass
through, in order to get out you need to do 'The Trick' again.
Another way to get in is to drive to the north end of the long
block and heading east over the bridge jump out and let the car
fall off the bridge onto the ground on the east side,
once the car has landed walk around to the east side of the
bridge and walk in between the bridge and the fence to get to
your car.
**The Jump explained See File 12:Bugs**
*The Blue Building*- Have a look at your map and you will see a place called Praca Da
Bandeira, go to the grey square in the bottom left corner,
Once there use 'The Trick' to get into the fenced off area with a
blue building in the middle,
Inside this area you can drive through the walls of the middle
pieces of this building (Close to the wall only), you can't drive
through the long rectangle shaped pieces at either end,
To get out of this place you will need to do 'The Trick' again,
also if you go too close to the middle of the blue building you
will fall in and the game will be over.
*Under The Highway*- Go to the on/off ramp near where you had to chase the gunman in
the undercover mode, heading west towards the south side of this
ramp do 'The Trick' and get into the area under the highway,
This place is pretty cool, you can drive under the highway which
has pillars lined along it holding it up, it is also lined with
trees,
To get out of here drive underneath the off ramp or drive
underneath the lower section of the highway, you could also do 'The
Trick' again but that would just waste too much effort,
The best thing about this area is being able to look up and see
through some parts of the highway and see the cars driving along,
Occasionally you will see a car fall off the highway and slide
along the ground and disappear through one of the surrounding
buildings,
Another cool thing to try here is to jump out of your car going
down one of the off ramps as you jump out you will see your car fly
off crashing into the on ramp across the way and then disappearing
into the background,
If you leave immunity off you will be chased by the police while
you are here, if the police set up a road block you can drive up to
it as it sits there under the highway, if you hit a cop car it will
chase you.
*Under The Highway #2*- Have a look at your map and you will see a place at the top left
called Praca Da Bandeira, heading towards this along the main
road west from Centro you will come across an overhead highway,
Do 'The Trick' to get into this area, once inside this area you
can travel as far south as the north side where you chase the
gunman,
At Santa Tereza force your way through south along the outside
of the on/off ramp, you can't force your way back north as this
will send you flying off into the oblivion through the wall
giving you game over,
To get out of this area use the freeway on/off ramps, you can
also walk into this area on the south east side of the underpass
that is just north of the Santa Tereza area.
*Knee Deep*- Head to the big lake marked on the map at the left hand side, (Lagoa
Rodrigo De Frietas), once there do 'The Trick' to send the car flying
through the wall and into the lake, if the car ends up half-way through the
wall, steal another car and lightly tap it, both you and the other car will
come flying off, but if you ram the car it will fly off and you will be
fine,
I haven't managed to get into a car on the other side but my guess is that
it just drives around the exterior of the lake until you fall in!.
*Volcano*- Go to Irca Island and on the south side of this island you will see a volcano
do 'The Trick' to get through any of the walls near the volcano,
Once inside you can drive around and through the volcano but if you drive or
walk too close to the east edge you will drown,
In order to get out this area you will need to do 'The Trick' again with this
area you will only have one shot at getting out with 'The Trick'.
*Trains*- Head to where you get in at The Highway #2, on the North East side of the road
you will see behind a fenced off area is two trains and two train lines, to
get in here you will need to do 'The Trick',
Once inside you can hoon about from one end to the other and even drive
through the trains themselves, you can't get onto the platforms on foot or in
the car,
To get out of here you will need to do 'The Trick' again.

*Destruction Derby*- My friend did this and I couldn't believe it even though I
saw it, in Rio there is a carpark looking thing next to
the beach at about the middle of the east side of the map,
this structure has a ramp that you can jump off at the
side facing the road, from this side he placed various
vehicles one at a time next to each other to do an 'Evil
Kninevil' from and when it got too long he hit the last
car and did the following damage:
Cars Completely Destroyed:
1x Car 1
3x Car 2
5x Car 3
1x Bus
Cars That Survived:
1x Car 1
The car that he was in
Total:
10 Cars Destroyed
2 Cars Survived

*Death From Above*- One time when I was driving along in Chicago I had a full
felony bar, I had just lost the cops and was heading
towards one of the drawbridges, at the time I got there it
was starting to rise so I raced up to it as fast as I could
I managed to get up it but as I was in the air I saw a cop
just strolling the streets, so I tried something I never
tried before, Get Out of My Car While I'm In The Air
(Before I saw your FAQ) and I got out and what do you
know...It hit the cop car SMACK ON! I was laughing so hard
seeing a completely innocent cop car being destroyed from
a car that appeared out of nowhere!!

-Notes-
*Note 1*- With this code, if you steal a car with a felony, to make your felony
bar go back to zero, all you have to do is get another felony :).
</pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
*Note 2*- With this code, its best used with the Ultimate Levitation Code and the
Cant Die From Flipping Your Car & You Can Get Out Of A Fully Damaged Car
code as well. This way, if you start to sink into some water, you can
levitate and hopefully get out.
*Note 3*- With this code, its a very kick ass code, press L1 and your car will
levitate off the ground. Press R1 and all other cars on the road will
levitate, and if you press both L1+R1, all cars will levitate, makes for
some good mid-air collisions.. very nice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Q:- What does the Out Of Tape in the bottom left corner mean?
A:- This just means that the replay tape has run out which means that whatever you do after
that will NOT be able to be replayed, Out Of Tape comes up at exactly 37 mins and 50
secs (I timed it myself using the checkpoint mode because I got bored!!).
**Unknown** - I lost the E-mail!
Q:- How do you control the Burnout?
A:- Well will wonders never cease I got this E-mail the day after I had started writing this
and mate the best way to control the burnout is to NOT do it while turning as you will
spin-out, just feather the burnout button with the handbrake to do a mad slide round
corners, this comes with practice as does all functions with the burnout but you will
master it one day.
**Submitted By: Anonymous** - Wanted to remain anonymous (can't blame him!!)
Q:- In Rio you can't sit down on the chairs but you say above that you can, are you lying to
us or is there some trick to sitting down in Rio?
A:- Spiteful!! yes Rio is a pain in the arse to sit down on the chairs in but I find that
you just find a chair where people are sitting scare one off and take his seat, but
really how often do you sit down?? I only use it as a makeshift pause if I am near a
chair and I have no felony, furthermore there is no mission that requires you to sit
down so quite frankly mate GET OVER IT.
**Submitted By: Jericho's_Bro**
Q:- Hey man, Is there any way to get past that dang invisible wall bug at the end of the
boat jump level in Rio? I've played that stupid level so many times that I know it
inside and out, but I hit that wall every time I jump off the boat.
Thanks.
A:- There are 2 ways to combat this, park your car at the back of the boat place the bombs
then floor it over the ramp, or move your arse placing the bombs and drive off the boat
onto the pier.
**Submitted By: Mojo Jojo**
Q:- I was wondering if you had any button cheats. You know the kind of ones which may press
start and then some buttons to get cheats. If you do I would be very grestfull if you
sent them to me. Thankyou
A:- I know what you mean, and No there are no button cheats, too bad so sad!.
**Submitted By: Tom Bransby**
Q:- Have you really accessed the secret area in Las Vegas in Driver 2? The one where you
have to flip a switch near the airport to open a gate and get the 4x4. I found the
building (the one with 4 cones in front of it, right) and the switch but no matter how
long I pushed on "triangle" or where I stand, it won't work. I can see the switch but
Tanner won't flip it. Does this really work?
A:- Yes it does work, maybe you are in the wrong place because I got it, keep looking &
don't worry you'll find it.
If that doesn't help the place that you need to be at is the start of the steal the
ambulance mission.
**Submitted By: Thomas**
Q:- There is a Statue of Liberty in Driver 1: you have to drive North on the river side and
you can see it: it's not very big, faraway and green. I stumbled on it when I was
playing the game in chase mode, the one which starts near the twin towers.
A:- That's nice, I don't care, when I referred to them not putting a statue of liberty in
Driver 1 I meant a full statue that we could look at NOT see something and have to put
on our glasses to see it!!!
BTW, thanks for telling me the colour of the statue of liberty, I never would have
guessed otherwise!!.
**Submitted By: Thomas**
Q:- When I jump to ferry, okey, it seems to be going fine. But when I continue, a car is on
the sea. :-) what is wrong?
A:- What is wrong??, I know, I have no idea what the hell you just asked me!!!, maybe I
should ask my 7 year old cousin to decipher it!!
**Submitted By: Mika M**
Q:- I need some help - on the "Chase the Gunman" mission im pretty close to killing my
playstation thanks to the stupidity of the programmers on this level. I know you said
you had alot of trouble with it, but im at a total loss as to what to do. I have
literally had about 100 restarts and its not even funny anymore.
A:- Mate the programmers have accomplished what they set out to achieve, give us a mission
that is possible but BLOODY hard, keep at it and kill a boxing bag instead of the
Playstation, good luck, you'll do it.
**Submitted By: Dave G**
Q:- Just wanted to say thanks for the walkthrough you posted... it really came in handy at
the most critical frustration points... I too surrendered a controller to a fit of rage
lol... Anyways, thanks again.....
A:- WOW!!! a compliment, glad to be of service mate..
**Submitted By: DirtyWyyteboy**
Q:- The Hijack the truck secret works in Take a ride. (if you are meaning the lockup)
A:- Well I can't seem to open it maybe it just don't open on the PAL version who knows,
but it's not that important anyway so I'm sure I can live!!!, Maybe!.
**Submitted By: Swiftshark, Regular on the Neo Forums**
Q:- Thank you for writing such a good FAQ about playing Driver 2. I found it very helpful,
especially on some of the more difficult levels. I am glad to say that all my
controllers are still intact. The bug and cheat guide were also very helpful and
detailed, Thank You.
A:- No problems, bugs and cheats sections are mainly supplied by the readers so in some
cases I don't even touch what the person has written because they have done such a great
job of telling where to find everything.
**Submitted By: Some_guy** - that was what he wanted me to put!!
Q:- I'm not sure if you ever get emails about it anymore but I was reading your Driver2 FAQ
page recently and I must say, very thorough, my congratulations.
A:- I get E-mails all the time still to this day about my FAQ, thanks for the submissions to
the Interesting Stuff & Bugs Sections of my FAQ
**Submitted By: Nathan**
**See File:10 Interesting Stuff**
**See File:12 Bugs**
Q:- Congratulations on making a successful guide - it was the best one I could find and was
of great help, Thankyou.
A:- No Worries Mate.
**Submitted By: Phil**
Q:- Thank you so much for writing an actually good FAQ for this godforsaken game.
I am on the level that u broke your controller on. That is the worst level in this
stupid game. And all other FAQ's say "bump him much". Thats it. At least you give a
stradegy for it. Thank you again and I look foward to any other FAQ's you write
A:- OK a couple of thing's, 1: the game ain't stupid!! and 2: I'm not sure if I will write
any more FAQ's but if I do you will be able to find them.
**Submitted By: Ds41477**
Q:- I just wanted to let you know how much your FAQ has helped me. It was particularely
useful on escaping Caine's Compound. Thanx
A:- No worries mate, Caine's Compound is the best mission in Chicago, and is hard until you
figure it out!!, when I first did it I thought "why didn't I do that the first time?!"
thanks again for the compliment
**Submitted By: Pholmes**
Q:- I was thinking about writing a FAQ for this game and when I saw yours I said NO WAY.
Your FAQ is great!
A:- Thanks a lot, but you should never be discouraged from writing your own FAQ, even if you
think mine is great!!, But I suppose I only wrote this FAQ because I thought the others
weren't detailed enough!!, Thanks also for your Unreal submission.
**Submitted By: Chris Wasnetsky**
**See File:14 High Scores and Unreal Stuff**
Q:- Are there any cheat codes for Driver 2 that do not require a gameshark?
A:- The only cheats in Driver 2 are Immunity and Invincibility, there are No button cheats
for this game, At all!!.
**Submitted By: Razorrider89**
Q:- How do I use game shark codes I mean were do I write it in the game
A:- You type these in when you start the playstation up, it should go to the gameshark codes
menu before starting the game itself.
**Submitted By: Elís Már**
Q:- How do you get the codes in the rumours pert to work i've tried at least 100 times to
get them to work but they won't, also you can't get that damb tank I tried it's a load
of crap, and your a ******* ******** artist!
A:- All of the codes in the Rumours section are fake because if you took the time to read it
you would see that this is what I wrote:
**Rumours section**
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section is here to stop any of the Spam that has been started by people
that have waaaay too much time on their hands, these are a quick list of them
so far, if you get more send them in.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that I have gotten your E-mail I have added a note under that for the dumbass's like
yourself, the codes are all fake codes that people have spread around, so in a quick
sentence, NONE OF THEM WORK!!!
**Submitted By: Anonymous** - I think that he doesn't need to be named!!
**Also don't swear in your E-mails or I will not answer you next time**
Q:- I have looked all over and can't find the police impound in Rio. Can you tell me where
to find it? Thanks.
A:- It's at the North-East corner of the lake at Lagoa Rodrigo De Freitas, have a look there
and you should find it.
**Submitted By: Brittany Caldwell**
Q:- What happens when I change the cop difficulty?
A:- It means exactly what it says, now the cops will be easier or harder to damage, but this
does not change how much they will hammer you at full felony it just means they have
crap or good armour.
**Submitted By: Demonz_666**
Q:- Can I get onto one of the trains?
A:- As far as I know the answer to this is No, but if you find a way to get onto the trains
tell me. Also I am on the assumption you are talking about the ones in Chicago, because
you can get in the train in Vegas.
**Submitted By: Demonz_666**
**To read about the trains in Chicago See File:11 Rumours**
**To read about the trains in Vegas See File:12 Bugs**
**To read about the trains in Rio See File:13 The Glitch Report**
Q:- Is it possible to get into one of the planes?
A:- Give me a break mate!, this is a driving game NOT a flying game.
**Submitted By: Demonz_666**
**To read about the planes See File:11 Rumours**
Q:- Is the secret car in Chicago the superfly car from Driver 1?
A:- No it is not the Superfly car from Driver 1 but I wish it was the Superfly because the
air that you could have gotten off of the drawbridges would be phenomenal.
**Submitted By: Demonz_666**
Q:- Is there a secret city in this game?
A:- Well mate I didn't get one so I guess that's a No, but it might be like Driver 1 where
you could only get the secret city in the PC version or by using gameshark codes that
only worked on NTSC and PAL(UK) versions only.
**Submitted By: Demonz_666**
**To read about a secret city See File:11 Rumours**
Q:- Play undercover and when it says "please wait" and a black screen, press some buttons (It
doesnt matter which) and the time will either increase or decrease on your mission.
it really works. (maybe you don't have to press the buttons but that's how I found out)
A:- Get away from me you moron as if *ANY* cheat code would be a random button press code!,
you just got a mission with a random timer,
Now go crawl back under the rock from which you came you twit!!, oh and by the way I
wouldn't trust a cheat from a person who doesn't even allow me to write them back!!
**Submitted By: Pwlego**
Q:- hey how do u ride the ferry in chicago I cant ever get it to work?
A:- well there's good reason for why it won't work and that's because the ferry doesn't move,
you have to jump onto it in a mission but that's about it i'm afraid!.
**Submitted By: Formul1hereIcome**
Q:- There is a staue of liberty in driver1 if you want to know were it is I will kindly make a
map so to speak youknoe like:left3blockright6more. more clearer tho. I read your game faqs
walk threw.i am very pleased.
A:- Normally I would attack a letter such as this but you were kind about it so I will be kind
back, thanks but no thanks, this is a driver 2 FAQ not Driver 1!.
**Submitted By: David E**
Q:- Your Playstation cheat site for the game "Driver 2" is cool. I read your part about all
the cars and how they handle. I noticed that you haven't found the "truck with tray" in
Havana.
A:- I have had this car in my FAQ for ages, the car listing was one of the first things for
me to complete however I have added your rating of the car to my car listing (no matter
how nice you were for the cars rating!!)
**Submitted By: Unknown_A**
**To read his rating See File:4 Car Guide**
Q:- this is about the jones' black car cheat it does work but they made a mistake u have to
press the next button 24 times to get it(I think) or as soon as u get to 21 slow down and
stop at the first car it shows(you know when u choose a car the first car it shows look
for that one)it works I always use it I don't know if its any faster or what but its a
pretty cool cheat
