/File 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 E-mail me
and it will be added.
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

/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 upto 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 coz 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 is 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 manoeuvre 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 it's 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
manoeuvre, 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 upto 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 race car 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: Monkeydude107**
**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 bus' 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, hard to steer etc. 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)
Overall - 14

/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 mission's 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 defence 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
infront 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 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 send me an E-mail and I will help you out.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**
-------------------------------------------------------------
This Walkthrough is 100% complete in terms of the missions,
If you think that something is not explained properly tell
me and i will add more help to that mission.
-------------------------------------------------------------
-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!!
-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 Pinz�n**
-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.
**Submitted By: Gabriel Pinz�n**
*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 upto 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 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 Oli 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.
*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 infront 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
smouldering 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.

-Extra Help-
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 Pinz�n**
*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.

/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.

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.

*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

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 impound's car door now you will see three doors
on this building go to the far left one that is on the corner and press

**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 triangle 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 send me an E-mail and as above I
will post it and you may name it but if you don't I will etc.
-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).

*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.

-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.

-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.

*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.##

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 Pinz�n**
*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
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##

*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!!
*Strip Bar*- 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 180� 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.

*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 Pueto 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 through's the one that i believe
you are reffering 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.

*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.

*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.

*[email protected]?*- Going north of the mid strip to the upper strip you will come

The Yahoo.com sign in Las Vegas is actually a "Yahoo! Games" advice

Strips. But there are two more Yahoo! Games ads in the west face
of that mall.

-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.
(It is at the lower corner of Flamengo Bay where
the two curved roads meet)
