Screenshots+My impressions. All screens by me, requests anyone?

So, I have the game, and will be uploading a bunch of screenshots for whoever wishes to view them.
Impressions:
Well, I am NOT a fan of Driver Parallel Lines, though I do like everything made before that. Mainly the handling, and I just couldn't be bothered finishing the missions. I figured if I could take it with me I might play it more, as I've stopped playing my PS2, it's in my brothers room, an inconvenience, and DPL was the last game I bought for it. So having it portable is probably going to be better.
Graphics are about up to par with what the PSP can do, which is quite good, very respectable, I already see areas I recognize from DPL, and the cars look reminiscent as well. Same old kick-arse sound track too
There seems to be an area of finish with this game that the PS2 version never achieved. If you'll look at the menu screenshots, you'll notice that you use shoulder buttons to change screen. Very interesting. Wait, no, I don't have any screens that show that. It's there though I promise. Makes the game feel better; more fun than a random boring game that feels like the rest. The handling has also been changed quite a bit, and feels a LOT better, and a lot more fun to drive with. I've only played for a couple of minutes so far, homework needed doing, but impressions are good. The game has character

Awesome. Thanks for he insight Ville_Valo.

for me, it doesnt matter whether it is free roam coz i really enjoyed mafia: city of lost heaven. (i still havent tried free ride or free ride extreme) i expect driver 76 is like that. u think it would be in any used game stores now? anyway, great work ville. keep it up.

Demonstrating the menu, and the shoulder control buttons. Pretty nifty I think, very original.

Award after a mission.


Lol. Happy fish.

Me towing a car, in the film camera view. You can turn it on and off during gameplay at the touch of a button.




Shooting on the back of a truck for a mission.

This is the comic book layout of the cutscenes. Instead of using actual videos, which waste the limited disc space, they use a very effective and classy comic, it's great fun.

One of many many alley ways in the game.

Raven car from Parallel Lines.

SPOILERS: If you don't wanna find out about the end of the games story line, skip ahead about 10 images.
The following screens are from the last mission. You're chasing a guy in a helicopter, you jump the car off the pier into the chopper, he dies, you appear to die, then it's revealed that you're not dead.







Final scene in the comic strip.

Final credits

END SPOILERS
Garage. No 360 degree view of cars, but it works good enough.




Buying guns…


Raven from Parallel Lines, nice car

This is my Melizzano that I modded. Modelled off the Lambo Miura, that's why I like


Times square! Most of these are from Times Square, you can start 'take a ride' mode there.







The next few screens are about guns














I'm in ur polees car, makin ma ezcape!111








Ooh. watch this. They're following me, so I throw it into a reverse 180, and shoot them while reversing, then keep going.








A jump I found on a carpark. Driving up was good fun, should've taken some shots.


The whiteness is from the flash you get when switching to 3rd person mode.






Second time over the jump, first one was a bit boring. Got that big star! They're set around the city for you to collect.


Lost a wheel

New car!








See that bridge? I'm going there. Things fade slowly in, instead of popping like in GTA: VCS. It looks great, and handles the PSPs limited power very well.


That's the Bonsai from Driver Parallel Lines, same old car.


Well then, I'm finally done. 32mb of screens on a shit computer with shit internet…God. They're all the screens I've made 'till now, and since I've stopped playing it, having finished it, these will probably be all unless someone requests any. If you need any help, post here, I'll reply in a day, no more.
Enjoy!

Anytime, nice to be appreciated

Quite a bit different, but not as good. No free-roamer can match what GTA has had going for the last few years, but it's got character and it's a good game.

No, it's nothing like those games really. Driv3r is the true sequel to those games, Parallel Lines and '76 aren't.
