TRIVIA
— Voice samples from cutscenes from Driver 2 for the Playstation are left unused in the ROM, along few other voice samples.
— On January 1st 2022, a June 2002 prototype surfaced on the website Hidden Plaza ⇱ where the « We Lost Him » cops line is functionnal when losing the cops (and the mobs as well), while other elements were unfinished.
— Thunder Alley, developped by Pronto Games and released by XS Games only in the U.S. on June 13th 2004, is the only other Gameboy Advance game featuring the engine of Driver 2 Advance going by the X2 Engine. The game is a one-to-one copy of Driver 2 Advance as it features same gameplay, same graphical elements such as Map tiles, sky gradient, wheel smoke, orange cones and road pillars Sprites, same menu selection and car engines sounds, same HUD, Main Menu and Pause Menu layouts — configured into a generic racing game. Yet a terribly poor one looking like a joke of a game, featuring dreadful musics, only 4 tracks, a « Secret » Derby mode with only one arena, no Multiplayer and no Highscores (the game size is only 4Mb and probably had no save battery to make the cartridge even cheaper).
