If there's one thing you can count on in Hollywood, it's sequels. It's no surprise that Driver, the franchise known for riveting storylines and authentic racing sequences worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster, has spawned some additional installments. Driver: Parallel Lines continues the franchise's mastery of the action-driving genre. Follow T.K., a driver for hire with plenty of skills but zero conscience. Embark on 35 multi-path missions set in the New York underworld during 2 different eras, 1978 and today, both re-created through stunningly realistic open environments. Parallel Lines brings 80 customizable vehicles, improved character control, enhanced AI, a better-than-ever vehicle damage system, and online multiplayer for up to eight.

good but not the best
this game is a huge step up from that heap of trash DRIV3R. I expected more trash but hoped that wasn't going to happen and it didn't. (hooray!) the damage system is definitely in the top 3. #1 juiced #2 flatout #3 this. And I love the variety of cars. it's almost like a real city. and when you're in a car there's not a whole bunch of that car everywhere like in gta 3. another plus is the customization. you can buy stuff like engine parts, suspension parts, body kits, bullet proof glass and tires, and more. The music is good to. Except one song, the saxophone song. If you play xbox at night i suggest you keep the stereo volume down. you'll know the song when you hear it. (its loud and obnoxious) BUT!!!! YOU CANT SWIM---but you don't drown!! you just sploosh out of the water and yell at your self . and then there's the main part of the game... the storyline. Its SWEET. there's lotsa action and speed and guns. And a huge shocking twist!! i wont tell you what it is though :) even though its great its to short i beat it in 12-14 hours then sent it back. but those 12-14 hours kicked a~$. i seriously recommend this game to any one with a tv and a game system. p.s. its only rated (M) because like one tenth of the story has c-o-c-a-i-n-e in it and they say the "f" word about ten times total... maybe

Back on Track or is it Wack?
We all know how upset we got with Driv3r. So what's the deal Bauc, does Parallel Lines Redeem itself? Yeah it does. I'm sure you saw this coming, but I'm going to compare this game to GTA. The graphics are better in Driver, however, there isn't enough in the city to explore so the open-world gameplay isn't as good. The cut scene graphics are AMAZING, they really look that good. And I think it's a definite bonus that they made the main character closely resemble Steve Nash. That was cool. The targeting system is intuitive and easy to use. The actual driving part of the game was surprising. It wasn't bad but the brakes are way too sensitive so you'll be working on that awhile, though I got the hang of it with some practice. The storyline throws a wicked curveball at you so get prepared for a shocker. This game was definitely a step up from Driv3r and I enjoyed it. I give it a 7, out of 10.

Back on track
Definitely a step in the right direction and much better than Driver 3.<br><br>The gameplay and mission variety are outstanding. The story line is good enough if you care to follow it and if not, you can skip to the action without missing anything important. Playing in two different eras is cool. There is plenty of vehicle variety from both eras.<br><br>Vehicle control is pretty good however the brakes are too strong as is the e-brake. Moving around on foot is easy but shooting/combat is a little difficult. It works well enough since this is not really a shooter. Shooting from the vehicle is a nice touch and works well also.<br><br>Graphics and sound are both acceptable but nothing special.<br><br>The gameplay is what makes this game good. If you are a fan of the series, you'll like parallel lines.

pretty good
Parrallel lines is a realy well rounded game good story outstanding graphics and good game play. The only 2 things that kept this game from being a 10 was the fact that it tool to long to get to the present day and once you did the game ended to fast. I definitly like the concept of the game and hope to see more games like this in the driver franchise.

Better than Driv3r but how hard is that?
The game is ok. It is better than the last installment but it tries too hard to be GTA and fails. One of the first things I noticed was flying down the road at 80-100mph and then hitting the brakes. The car almost stopped on a dime with no skid marks. Tried to turn a corner with the e-brake only to spin a 360.<br><br>Music is great, driving controls are good (except the above mentioned braking), on-foot is HORRID. Manual aiming is hard to control and way too random when trying to take out tires of a stationary car. Being able to upgrade cars is cool but with how quick you wreck a car it is not really worth it.<br><br>Here's to hoping they go back to their roots with the next installment.

Cool
I thought that this game was cool because it took place in the 70's in NYC where you end up as a street racer. Not only are there sweet cars but also there were GUNS. You are kinda a hippie but u get used to it.
