Driver 2 Advance
Publié le 4 octobre 2002 sur Game Boy Advance par Infogrames, Driver 2 Advance est un jeu d'action et de conduite en vue de dessus développé par Sennari Interactive. Il constitue une adaptation portable de Driver 2: Back on the Streets, le design ayant été adapté aux capacités de la console portable en remplaçant les environnements 3D de l'original par une perspective aérienne.
L'intrigue suit le policier infiltré Tanner et son partenaire Jones alors qu'ils enquêtent sur un réseau criminel. Le gameplay, basé sur des missions à travers plusieurs lieux internationaux, permet aux joueurs de conduire divers véhicules, de remplir des objectifs et d'échapper aux ennemis qui les poursuivent. Classé dans le genre course, le titre affiche une durée de jeu principale et complète estimée à deux heures.
Concernant l'accueil critique, TotalGames.net a salué « A hugely engrossing game that is varied and challenging enough to last you a fair while ». De son côté, GameSpot a estimé qu'il est « astonishing just how much Driver 2 Advance looks, feels, and plays like the PlayStation version of Driver 2 ». Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont également partagé un avis positif, notant que « Driver 2 on GBA has two impressive open worlds and is a joy to drive around in » et que « The drifting feels just right and there's a great skill curve in this game ».

« A hugely engrossing game that is varied and challenging enough to last you a fair while. »
« It's astonishing just how much Driver 2 Advance looks, feels, and plays like the PlayStation version of Driver 2. »
« Looks and plays incredibly well. »
« This was born to be on the GBA. [Nov 2002, p.150] »
« Not only was this game graphically epic, featuring two large cities, but it sported a 3D engine that had some flaws, but never failed to turn heads. »
« The pace and the missions are all that get in the way of an otherwise strong gamen »
« Painfully inconsistent. It has great control, and myriad single-player and multiplayer modes. Unfortunately, it also has abysmal music and a spotty graphics engine that cannot achieve the sense of speed the Driver games need. »
« If you're cruising for vehicular action, you'll be in hot pursuit of Driver 2 Advance. [Sept 2002, p.166] »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Driver 2 on GBA has two impressive open worlds and is a joy to drive around in. The drifting feels just right and there's a great skill curve in this game. However, due to a bug. You can't finish the campaign on an original GBA, since it lacks the power to load the game fast enough. So in the mission where you have to plant C4 and escape. The game just freezes and lets you die. So play this on an emulator to get the full experience! Rating: Gameplay: 5/5 - Everything you'd want from an open world driving game. Level Design: 5/5 - 2 great open worlds with varying difficulty. Soundtrack: 0/5 - Horrible. Seriously, play this game with the sound muted if possible. Story: 5/5 - The story from the PS1 game was greatly ported here. Graphics: 5/5 - Great and impressive for GBA standards. Length: 5/5 - There's just loads to do here. Replay Value: 3/5 - There's a fun free play and some great challenge modes. Plus there's apparently multiplayer. Enjoyment: 4/5 - Absolutely loved it. But hated that I couldn't finish it on my GBA SP. Overall rating: 32/40 => 8/10 Verdict: Absolutely impressive and worth giving a shot on an emulator. »
