The Kid aka TK, the new main character, received Game Informer's 'Biggest Dork of 2006' award.ĭriver: Parallel Lines takes place in an entirely open world environment. This is the first game of the Driver series that does not follow undercover cop Tanner. The game was received better by critics than DRIV3R, but still was criticized, including its simple gameplay, hit-or-miss controls, and derivative storyline.
Due to the underwhelming performance of Driv3r, particularly the often-derided on-foot sections, Parallel Lines returns to the formula used in earlier games in the series, focusing on driving, although shooting remains in the game. Diverging from previous Driver games, Parallel Lines takes place in just one city, New York City, instead of multiple cities, but in the middle of the story you change to different eras of the city - 19.
