I purchased a box set that was bundled with a large amount of terrible B-movies, and this happened to be one of the films that caught my eye. So, being the stupid person that I was, I decided to watch the film with a friend.

You can expect inconsistent writing, bland acting, goofy special effects, absolutely atrocious audio mixing and random segments of violence and nudity interpolated throughout.

The story of the film itself is filled to the brim with campy over-exaggerated trope nonsense with pacing and random plot holes that are the size of meteorites.

The characters are basically just poorly written cardboard cutouts, and the line delivery from these actors is just extremely laughable. The audio mixing itself is just as bad, if it makes you feel any better.

Random sequences of over-the-top violence and nudity are also placed in the film randomly. These sequences really don't aid the film that much, other than the Swiss cheese styled story that I had to endure.

It's almost like the filmmakers wanted to capture the campy and goofy tone of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, although they forgot that the series was built off of intelligent and charming satirical writing.

This was my first ever piece of TWD media that I consumed, because I wanted to experience the entirety of the series canon.

Honestly? The premise of the game is intriguing, playing as Daryl Dixon and all, but all of that usually gets massively overshadowed by technical issues that the game suffers from.

Low quality textures, frequent frame rate drops, poor quality artificial intelligence, and a weird assortment of other glitches are what I experienced when I endured my first playthrough of the game.

However, there are some great qualities from the game, despite how few there are. I enjoyed the premise of the story (although the topic of the game being canon is debated), as well as the attempts at making the game feel more like an intriguing piece of survival horror.

I did enjoy the inventory and survivor management gameplay element, despite how basic it was, although I was a bit annoyed that there wasn't any sort of gameplay mechanic that would let me carry over my inventory into a new playthrough.

Overall, the game does deserve the criticism that it gets, although it can be a fun experience to enjoy.

Compared to the weaker final title in the original Driver trilogy, Driver 2 seems to do a fantastic job at implementing new features and mechanics that make the gameplay experience more enjoyable.

I found myself being hooked on the narrative of the game, and I was charmed by the many FMV cinematics in-game, which I viewed as a great reward along with the vast unlockable content available.

My only complaint is the sheer spike in difficulty compared to the previous title, but each challenging mission can be overcome with time and patience.

Overall, Driver 2 is a really great title, and I would suggest playing this game over Driv3r, any day of the week.
