Ports, who says they're a bad thing? Carrying the title Driver 2 Advance, Driver 2 faithfully re-creates the action and intensity of the original PlayStation version. Posing as an undercover cop, players must take on a variety of missions for crime lords in the hopes of capturing them. Driver 2 Advance will make use of Sennari's proprietary X2 engine technology that allows for visual vehicular damage and various particle effects.

As in the original, the player controls undercover cop Tanner, who investigates the murder of a Brazilian criminal, leading him facing both a Brazilian gang as well as the Chicago mob. The story is mainly told through cutscenes that employ stills from the rendered scenes of the original, with dialogue adapted in accordance with the cut-down story. While the original moved through four cities, only two remain in the GBA version: Chicago and Rio de Janeiro.

The game also includes the same five mini-games as in the PlayStation version, involving ramming a car, losing a police tail, following a path set out by traffic cones, a checkpoint race, and a demolition survival. The game also includes four-player-multiplayer via link cable, with four exclusive modes: checkpoint and cross-town racing as well as free-for-all (solo) and cops-n-robbers (team-based) survival.
