                                  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 affilliated 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

                                   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

-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 recieving hits from the police for the times
                      you just stay there and take 'em on (not incuding 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 compaired 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-
        *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 manovere but it has a siren
                       but thats 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 strengh 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 s#@t 
                      different smell.
                       (S -3) (D -3) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -3)
                        Overall - 12

-Havana-
       *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
                          are pretty crap but are 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

       *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-
      *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 section:4 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-
    *Cop Car*- I seem to find that this cop car is boxy and hard to steer compaired 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 strengh 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.
              **Tip for car see section:4 Tips and Hints**

==========================================================================================
                                Secret Cars Guide
==========================================================================================

     There are 4 secret cars one in each city, which is hidden (see section 7: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.

-Chicago-
        *Black & Yellow Buick*- This car has sum 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
                  four it is that it is strong and a good thrash around car not overly
                  useful for police chases.
                   (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
                  600HP truck can't beat it - Stupid and unrealistic
                   (S -5) (D -5) (A -1) (TS -2) (T -1)

==========================================================================================
                                 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 alot of damage but sends you flying backwards
                       most of the time.

-Being chased-
             *Weiving*- this is the best defence mecanism as you can weive in and out of
                        on-coming traffic poles and traffic in the same direction as you
                        all that you need to watch out for is not hitting anything 
                        yourself.

             *close tail #1*- when the police or enemie 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 weiving.

             *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*-  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 availiable in Vegas & Rio.

-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 get a head-on collission 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 persue you but if you
                             miss them then you can drive off without any cops (no cops that
                             will persue you will be nearby).

                                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

                         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

                            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

                              slow) try not to crash as Jericho is a fast driver when you
                              get to where he wants you the game will take over.

        *Caine's compound*- This mission is confusing at the start and 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

                            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.

        *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.

-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 you
                          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.
                             **Bug in mission see Section:9 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.
                           **Bug in mission see Section:9 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 enemie car and always steal a new car after
                        you jump out of the suspect vehicle.

       *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.

       *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.

       *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 done some busy back streets so
                       don't get stuck behind a civilian car, this one is harder than the
                       others and a good challenge compaired 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 are to weive
                                the poles and cars.

                          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 section:4 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

                  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 switdh on the
                  right of the door and shut it. 

      *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 infront 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.

      *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

                        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

                          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

-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 (see
                         Section:4 Hidden areas) and open the door and turn left the cop 
                         car is there take it and drive up the freeway and take the 
                         turnoff 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.

    *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 upto 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 (see section:4 tips and hints) 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.
                    with this mission the rain and crap handling off the limo make it hard
                    so be careful when turning.

    *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 Section:9 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 upto 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 upto a left turn into an 'S' bend road
                        go along here and jump out of your car and run upto 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
                        infront 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.

    *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 of 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 infront 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 raod 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 lennie, these guys will have you ripping
                         out your hair if they hit you on every attempt.

      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.

                                      Bugs
==========================================================================================

      There is bound to be alot of bugs in the game so if you find one tell me via e-mail
and tell me the city and area in which you did it and i will test it. IF i find it to be
true i will post it if i cannot get it it will NOT be posted so explain it carefully to
me and i will aknoledge you for it.
      You may also give it a name as if you do not i will name it myself and you will have
no say after that point UNLESS i am making an update or a spelling mistake i refuse to do
something because you do not like it.

-Main Menu-
          *free cutscenes*- when you unlock a new city you can view all of the cutscenes by
                            clicking on previous when you do so the picture will be fuzzy 
                            but just click select to view it.
                            if you go past a cutscene you would like to view you need to 
                            click previous the whole way back to get the cutscene again
                            because clicking next on an unavailible cutscene will return you
                            to the first cutscene.
                            when you complete the city this option will obviously be removed
                            but you will no longer need it.
                            I found this out purely by coincidence and haven't seen it 
                            anywhere else which surprizes me.

-All Levels-
           *Now You See It*- when you steal a car and you turn too sharply one of the 
                             hubcaps will fly off, but when you get out of the car the hubs
                             are back on.
                             if you decide to get back in you will not get the hubs back
                             which sucks coz i like seeing them fly off.

-Chicago-
        *Jump out of a flying car*- When driving in take a ride you will find many bridges
                                    that raise and lower, for this cool bug you need to 
                                    speed upto the rising bridge and just as you hit the 
                                    top press triangle and up.
                                    if done correctly tanner will hop out and slide down
                                    the other side of the bridge and the car will fly off
                                    and stop when it runs out of momentum.

-Havana-
       *dead end*- in the mission of hijack the truck with the escort you cannot drive too 
                   far away from the truck or else you fall off the end of the road so you
                   can't leave the truck to attack the other escorts in the area.
                   this bug is unfair to the player who is having problems with this 
                   mission.
                   You can tell where the road ends because it will look like the water 
                   does and you will need to use the normal brake if you are driving fast
                   along the road.
                   This bug is also in the next mission after hijack the truck

-Vegas-
      *magician's act*- drive to the garage explained above from the first mission in 
                        vegas and open the garage now place a car in the way of the door
                        and shut it now as the door hit's the car it seems to fall off the
                        edge of the map.
                        occasionally the vehicle will re-appear with about 40%-50% damage,
                        not a useful bug but funny to watch.

      *Floating train*- drive to the train that you raced in the mission 'beat the train'
                        (found at the north and right of the ghost town) and exit your 
                        vehicle, now run over to the train and press triangle as if you 
                        are entering a car, you will now be stuck inside the train with a
                        message stating that you have drowned.

      *Mission instructions*- drive around the city until you find a stationery police car
                              (most found in poolside) that is showing on the map (so if a
                              cop is at a set of lights stopped try it) when you have 
                              found one jump out and press triangle on it now a message 
                              will be shown saying 'change vehicles and get out of there'
                              this may be a secret mission or part of a mission i don't 
                              know.
                               * possible secret mission *

-Rio-
    *Invisible Wall*- When attempting the mission of 'Boat jump' sometimes when you drive
                      off the end of the boat you hit an invisible wall and fall into the
                      water, this can be a sad ending to a mission you may have problems 
                      with.

-Notes-
      *note 1*- With this code, if you steal a car with a felony, to make your felony bar go
                back to zero, all you have to do is get another felony :).

      *note 2*- With this code, its best used with the Ultimate Levitation Code and the 
                Cant Die From Flipping Your Car & You Can Get Out Of A Fully Damaged Car 
                code as well. This way, if you start to sink into some water, you can 
                levitate and hopefully get out.

      *note 3*- With this code, its a very kick ass code, press L1 and your car will 
                levitate off the ground. Press R1 and all other cars on the road will 
                levitate, and if you press both L1+R1, all cars will levitate, makes for 
                some good mid-air collisions.. very nice.

==========================================================================================

     the following are the people i wish to thank:

1.- Reflections and infogrames for making the game.

2.- you for reading it.

3.- thanks also to the Game Software Code Creators Club at
    www.cmgsccc.com
    for the gameshark codes.

   and last but by no means least to all my mates who helped me write the first 
incarnation of this faq.

i will also write names here of people who tell me more secrets....

 Great care has been taken to erase any spelling mistakes but if you see one please e-mail
me the section and paragraph (if walkthrough put mission) and i will fix it. 

 I also did not add a Version History because nobody cares when you fixed a mistake and
When you added a cheat.
 Although i should say I don't so i won't bore you with one.

   This FAQ should only be found at:
www.gamefaqs.com
www.psxcodez.com
