Driver: Parallel Lines brings us back to the 70's of New York. Check out the screenshots of this GTA-like game.
Steam’s deal of the day for September 27th is Driver® Parallel Lines. Also the sale will end in 24 hours, hence the “deal of the day”, so you have until 1pm EST or 10am PST tomorrow to grab this deal. Below is a description on the game as well as some important information.
I like the way these articles are approved only a few hours before the deal ends.
Better than no approval though, I guess.
Booth from Fangwheel gives us the background on Driver, leading up to Driver: San Francisco.
Like Grand Theft Auto, the Driver series of games have always embraced the fast cars/cops versus robbers dynamic to varying degrees of success. Previous outing Driv3r suffered from poor 'on foot' missions and the unfair speed advantage the cops had when it came to catching you.
Parallel Lines does take bits and pieces from Driv3r but mostly things have been improved, with the game concentrating more on the driving (makes sense seeing as that's what the series is called). This time there's no sign of undercover cop Tanner though, as you play a cocky young getaway driver called TK (The Kid).
Finally something that resembles a decent sandbox driving game for the Wii. Hopefully the controls are good and this one may actually be a hit.
i already played through it on ps2.
it was good, but not that amazing.
seems like a waste of a port.
its just came out 2day and let me tell u (since i didn't play it b4) it is pretty decent.. though i liked GTA:VC better.. but graphically its pretty good and controls are spot on when it comes to the 3rd person stuff.. a lot better then anything i played with b4 including ANY GTA on any CONSOLE (PC version with mouse was decent for controls)
DRIVER looks better though so if they use SCARFACE style controls and good game mechanics then this game will kick ass..
i love sandbox style games..
only problem i have with SCARFACE WII is that i'm still using GODFATHER BLACKHAND EDITION controls for driving.. and GODFATHER graphics were a lil better in my book but the scarface gameplay is more fun..
maybe this will be the ULTIMATE MIX until ROCKSTAR decide to give us GTA on the wii.. even if its just the previous ones ported.. like how XBOX got em
