Most of them are, as you might expect from a game called "Driver," focused on operating a motor vehicle. Instead, you'll follow the story path by taking on a variety of missions. But considering the cars in the game are as disposable as you'd expect from a game like this, spending money on engine upgrades seems like a waste of time, so earning money usually isn't your goal. There are a few side-missions, like races and repoman jobs, that you can use to earn money, which in turn can be spent on car upgrades. The gameplay in Driver puts you in a big open city that's broken up into three areas by bridges. It's a potentially interesting premise that falls apart because none of the individual characters are very compelling or likeable in either era.
TK gets out of the joint in 2006 with revenge on his mind, and the story picks up from there. This fast-forwards the game to present day. This being the late '70s, "making it big" eventually turns out to mean "start a cocaine empire." But, as these things normally go, stuff doesn't pan out quite so well for TK, and he gets locked up for 28 years. You're pretty good behind the wheel of a car, and you quickly catch on with a crew of criminals looking to make it big. You, as an 18-year-old named TK, have moved to New York City in search of excitement. Add to that some pretty drab mission design and you've got a game that looks good on paper, but simply can't add up to a game worth playing.ĭriver: Parallel Lines has a very Grand Theft Also feel to it. The characters fall flat, the story is uninteresting, and the gameplay controls are often inadequate.
Either way, Driver: Parallel Lines isn't broken, but it's almost completely uninspired and devoid of the little things that make these sorts of games entertaining.
Considering that GTAIII was, in many ways, picking up where the first two Driver games left off, maybe this is just a case of turnabout being fair play. Parallel Lines is a mostly competent game that's probably the most blatant Grand Theft Auto clone to date. Considering how completely jacked most of Driver 3 was, that's not really saying much, but it's still worth saying. Driver: Parallel Lines isn't nearly as messed up as the last Driver game was.
