Driver 2: Back on the Streets vs Driver: Renegade

Driver 2: Back on the Streets expands the original’s high‑octane driving with an open‑world setting across four iconic cities. Players control undercover cop Tanner and partner Jones as they hunt the double‑crossing money‑man Pink Lenny and confront rival mob bosses. The sequel adds on‑foot exploration, allowing you to leave your car and investigate environments directly. Missions blend story‑driven objectives with free‑roaming freedom, letting you chase suspects through Chicago, Havana, Las Vegas, and Rio de Janeiro.

Tanner returns in Driver: Renegade, a gritty action‑racing adventure set between the original Driver and Driver 2. After quitting the NYPD, he teams up with Senator Ballard to clean up New York City his own way, delivering nonstop 3D car chases on the handheld console. The game blends sandbox freedom with a story‑driven campaign, letting players barrel through traffic, evade police, and take down rival gangs across iconic NYC streets, all rendered in stereoscopic 3D for the 3DS screen.
