The story starts off two years after Driver Vegas. Tanner surprisingly looks younger and during the two years was a racing car driver. 'Chuck' the chief of police reemployed you not because he wants you back but because the HQ wants you back. You go undercover to take down the 'LA Mafia' by working your way up the ladder. You start off by proving yourself to Slick E. which then leads you onto his boss Mme Babs which then leads you onto the 'LA Mafia' crime boss; Don Lug.

[edit] Gameplay

[edit] Content

Most missions are driving-based with some on foot missions. You are able to take a ride around the 3D city, do up your car, repair and put NOS(Nitro)in your car, shoot while driving, shoot on foot and try driving games and bonus content. The missions consist of escaping the cops and gangsters, shooting up streets, racing gangsters, shooting gangsters, delivering packages etc. There are:

- New 3D gameplay with a console-game feel, hurling the player into the heart of the action.

- Explosive storyline offering more than 30 missions on foot or in cars.

- Total freedom of movement in a gigantic 3D city (4 neighborhoods).

- Ultra-realistic driving sensations, thanks to the 3D view simulating a camera placed behind the car.

- Two shooting systems: Free aim for missions on foot and automatic aim for missions by car.

- Lots of possibilities for stunts: explosions, car crashes, dizzying jumps, and much more.
