Story

75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Experiencing the same city through two different time periods adds depth and variety without needing new locations, and it gives the narrative weight as TK pursues revenge with the experience and bitterness of someone robbed of half a lifetime.
Gameplay

Driver: Parallel Lines represents a distinctive turning point in the long-running Driver series, stepping away from the undercover-cop formula of earlier entries and leaning fully into the fantasy of street-level crime, high-octane getaways, and open-world vehicular chaos.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The 1978 portion is thick with period atmosphere: muscle cars dominate the roads, the city feels grimy and dangerous, and the soundtrack pulses with retro flair.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

I think the film grain helped it age a bit more but behind the grain, you can appreciate what was surprisingly good graphics for this era.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can also connect your controller (There is a setting you need to enable it first) And you can play with no problem with a controller.
