San Jose, CA -
Driver 2 is the sequel to last year's best-selling video and PC game, Driver, that sold in excess of four million units worldwide and generated sales of more than $150 million dollars. With major technical advances, Driver 2 takes car chases to a whole new level.
Violence ignites Chicago when a U.S. crime lord's bookkeeper, Pink Lenny, cuts a deal with his greatest rival, a Brazilian gangster. Tanner (played by you) and his partner, Jones, go undercover to defuse it. They realize that Lenny's deal unsettles the balance of power in the crime underworld in the Brazilian's favor. The U.S. crime lord, Solomon Caine, is also hunting for Lenny, who's sighted in Vegas. In Vegas, Tanner and Jones use Caine to get to Lenny, and begin working for the crime lord, helping him resist the Brazilian's onslaught. When Lenny is sighted in Rio, Tanner and Jones head out with Caine to capture him from the Brazilian who's still protecting him. Tanner double-crosses Caine and captures Lenny himself, thereby restoring the balance of power and the equilibrium.
