Driver: Parallel Lines

First off I'm not gonna mention how similar this game is to the current lead game in this Genre. You know the one I'm talking about. It's similar in many ways but everything that has been copied from R* has been ruined by Reflections.


The Story:
TK (The Kid) gets framed in 1978 and sent to prison for 28 years. He gets out in 2006 and seeks revenge on those that framed him 28 years ago.
You start the game in 1978 and progress through missions as normal, then halfway through after you come out of prison 28 years later everything has changed, clothing, cars, city and of course TK himself.


The Graphics.
The FMV is pretty good, smooth and crisp. That's the good news. The In-game graphics however leaves you thinking that it's a PS1 game. Okay I might be exaggerating a bit there but it's not far from the truth.
The city (New York) I'm told does look like New York and the cars match their era.
It's definitely not the best graphics...

INTRO
Driver: Parallel Lines(DPL) is the fourth installment of Reflections' long running and often delayed history. This time around the focus is thankfully again much more on the driving while the on foot action has been drastically improved from Driv3r. Sadly, Film Director mode and the mini games are no longer there.

STORY 8/10
You play as TK or "The Kid", a young wheelman who pretty much will do any job for some scratch. Unlike previous games where you played as an undercover policeman, this time, you are out for yourself right from the get go. The story starts out in 1978 New York and after being framed by several of the bad guys who employed you, TK gets to spend 28 years in the pen. Once you emerge it is 2006 and the City is completely updated. The story then becomes a tale of revenge as you go after the entire crew that left you holding the bag 28 years ago. The story is decently thought out and very Hollywood like in it's progression.
