Like the first game, its story is told through a series of animated cutscenes: disguised as a geologist named Melanie Shaw, Daisy Duke's childhood friend Missy Law comes to Hazzard County with plans to rob Hazzard Bank and frame Daisy for the crime.[2][3] Gameplay is similar to its predecessor and primarily consists of the player completing tasks and beating time challenges, collecting icons, delivering passengers to specific destinations, and running errands for characters, while avoiding Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and Deputy Enos Strate.[2][3][4] The player plays as Bo Duke, Luke Duke, and Jesse Duke.[2] Unlike its predecessor, the game also allows the player to play as Daisy, and introduces an open world environment.[2] A free-roaming joyride mode removes all enemies and allows the player to explore all of Hazzard County,[2][3] including locations from the television series such as the Boar's Nest.[2]
The game features 18 levels, most of which are played while driving the General Lee; six levels are played as Daisy,[2] who drives a Jeep.[3] Country rock music plays during each level.[2] The game features a total of eight soundtracks, which can be changed by the player.[3] Items such as wrenches can be collected to repair the player's vehicle when it takes too much damage, while nitro gas can be used to give the player a temporary increase of speed. A multiplayer option is also available, in which players can compete against each other in a variety of game modes.[2][3][4] Other vehicles, including Jesse's truck, can be selected during multiplayer mode.[3]
