    Famous reviewers make me laugh, this is definitely NOT a GTA clone, just because it has a free-roaming city and missions to choose across the map doesn't mean it's somethign to avoid if this is not called GTA.
    Although this game doesn't really feel like the older Driver games (even if it has the same dark and gritty atmosphere), it's worth a shot. I'll give it a 7 out of 10 because this

    Although this game doesn't really feel like the older Driver games (even if it has the same dark and gritty atmosphere), it's worth a shot. I'll give it a 7 out of 10 because this game lacked features, especially when you finish the story, but you can get a couple of hours by beating it 100% and drive/customize your cars. Also, there is no film director, it was something special for the Driver series, but they've deleted it to improve the AI and other stuff.
    But let's think positive now, even if the on-foot gameplay isn't that enjoyable, it's still better than in its predecessor, and the storyline is simple but very decent, cutscenes included. Whenever you are watching the cutscenes or driving during a high-speed chase it's like you are watching a movie.

    Not sure what this game tried to be. It's not as fun as original Driver 1 or 2 and not as open and crazy as GTA games. But still, I had a good time playing it.

    I really liked Driver 1 and 2 but this game never interested me for a long time.

    Empty-souled, dated GTA clone. [Aug 2007, p.84]

    For 20 quid, it's a half-decent ride while it lasts. [Sept 2007, p.73]
  3. Driver: Parallel Lines looks seriously outdated on the PC. Its dull story and gameplay prevent it from being recommendable.
