Driver® Parallel Lines

One of the most memorable aspects of Parallel Lines is how it divides its story into two distinct eras.

But even the soundtrack that's there is really good.

The gameplay mechanics aren’t much better.

This is one of my favorite open world driving game from the 6th generation, this game ain't going to win any awards but I don't think it was trying to, The story while interesting is a bit short and not well fleshed out, the two eras are really cool and it's fun driving the vehicles from the 70's and awesome to see them placed in the 2006 era alongside with the new vehicles, car customization is great being able to modify most of the vehicles including police cars and taxis, the CGI cut scenes still hold up very well and the voice acting is good, The driving physics and car crashes are excellent as with most driver games, the on foot portion is a bit clunky as with the shooting, but it gets the job done you spend most of your time in a vehicle anyway, The soundtrack is great along with the original score for both eras although the PC version is sadly neutered as most of the original songs were removed from the console versions but can be easily added back in with a mod, graphics are pretty decent nothing fantastic they're pretty much the same as the console versions just uncompressed so everything looks a bit more cleaner, this PC port is pretty stable although I have noticed some strange lag spikes when using a Bluetooth controller and 9 times out of 10 the game will crash when exiting back to the main menu, more on the controller support it's decent with support for a xbox one controllers and analog triggers and being able to map most actions to the buttons, it even has vibration support!
