Driver 2 Advance does, in many ways, mimic it Playstation brethren to its' fullest. I'm impressed. Other than Spyro,Crash and Rayman, I hadn't seen any other series that has made the transition so closely. For that, the developer should be given its' props. They did a great, great job. Although, I must admit..being a diehard Driver fan- I was able to tell that they made certain changes in the game in order to accomodate being made for the GBA. Yet, that didn't stain my experience with the game. I really enjoyed it. It's definitely worth recommending to Driver fans out there.
Now, if we can just get other developers out there who are handling certain licensed properties to did this good a job, we'd certainly have more game to buy...that's for sure.

This is my favorite game for gameboy or gameboy advance. I've never played a game with better grapics, not to mention cool music, great gameplay, and fun but chalenging levels. If you like the Playstationversion of this game, you will defintly LOVE this game. You can play multi player multiplayer whitch is very cool, you can play undercover mode, witch has many different fun levels to play as you work as a detective, ther is also Take a ride where you can get chased by cops, take cars and vans, and even blow 'em up. this is over all a great game that I recomend to everyone.

I just bought this game yesterday, and have enjoyed playing it for several hours. It has good graphics(for a gba game),two huge levels to drive in,excellent driving games, the best driving physics ever on gameboy, and tons of levels. And new to the gba version is new multiplayer. That's right, 4 player driver!!! The best multiplayer is definitely cops n' robbers. One person is the robber, and however many others are playing(1-3)are the cops.This mode is so fun because it brings even more strategy to the game.
The sound on this game is absolutely horrible...if you use the speaker. With headphones on you can hear the music and car sounds.For instance, the van actually sounds different than a small car.
Now for 4star reasons. Although this game is 3D, it has some sprite and level design issues. There are 6 angles in total to your car, one behind,in front, and partial angle sideways from front and back. One of the things I liked about driver 2 for ps was the jumps and off ramps. And how could they take out the raising bridges!! Also there is no film editor or any replay due to save space.
Overall this is a good game to buy, especially if your friends have it too. If you've never played driver rent it or borrow it from a friend first.

The grapics are good, it has nice 3D, although the car sprites could have been made up of more frames.
When you steer left or right, the back view car sprite turns to a complete new one without any in-between sprites to make a smooth steer.
There are some gfx issues. Car sprites pop up on a corner even though you didn't reach the point where you'd actually see the car.
Overall, the game feels exaclty as the PC version, although the frame rate could use some tweaking. Plus, you get GTA3 gameplay cause you steal cars and stuff.
RENT IT, then maybe buy.
