Driver®: Parallel Lines

nice, nostalgic and whats that? oh yea a bug, nice, i want DRIVER 1, 2, 3 please

An open world with good driving but lacking in cinematics.

For its time it was a meh game and now in 2025 it's just a bad game. It's the same type of missions you've seen millions of times done worse with fustrating time limits and bad gameplay. Only play this if you just want to try something out for a little bit or you really love driver because finishing this game would not be enjoyable at all.

good game just as i remember it but no controller support ruins it for me abit

Good game for the time and a natural progression from Driver games which came before it. Unfortunately, as this game is a product of its time sadly i do not think they had the budget/time to maximise the potential of this game, and whilst the storyline and environments match the aesthetic of the time era they represent, as you explore the game environment you begin to realise that it is in fact quite an empty world to explore. The voice acting and sounds of this game are extremely good, and also the graphics for the time are very strong except for when viewing places such as storefronts close up. Beyond the storyline of the game, the world just doesn't have enough to keep you interested, easter eggs are limited, secret spots are limited, unlockable items are scarce or very obscure to achieve. Older driver gamers had very fun easter eggs and things to find placed around the game worlds which made exploring fun and worthwhile, however i didn't get the sense that this game world was all that big and lacked the variety of older games, especially when you consider driver 2 had 4 different cities to explore throughout the game. The vehicles and driving do handle well, but again a lack of variety spoils the fun and the vehicles which are supposedly sports models etc all control in the same way with similar levels of power. Overall it is a good attempt but a downgrade from previous games in the series and there are much better open world driving games available today.
