Driver - Parallel Lines Review

Such Tomb Raider, the series of the Driver knew to be dissociated as of its exit before being seen catching up with by a latent stagnation of which largest can themselves suffer. The third episode was particularly pointed out by its service in half-tone, fact whose developers are well-informed logically.

At the beginning, Driver stressed the police control and continuations. Under the pressure of a stop watch, the player saw himself in the constraint to arrive in time and in hour with go fixed under penalty of having to start again the mission in question.

From the third opus, many phases with foot were put at contribution as a diversification. These phases had all the same the merit to exist and fill our merry afternoon of play.

Left more than one year ago, the play met a success in half-tone due in major part to its poor diversity. Far from imitating the references, Driver on the matter: Parallel Lines is satisfied to get a thin handle of secondary missions to us whose finality remains more than debatable.

One year after its exit, the developer had the reflex all the same to adapt it on the PC and other Nintendo Wii so can be to prepare its future peacefully. Under cover of handing-over on level, the concept does not remain unchanged even identical about it.

One will incarnate a young person and ambitious racing driver of the name of “The Kid”. Not very conscious of its potential, this last will be satisfied to propose its services with the shades of second zone before seeing true professionals of the organized crime.

From there, its destiny literally will change and lead it to the top of its art. In search of money and recognition, our hero will gather around an old band of shades whose objective is to pile up a maximum of money through a ransom.

The play is divided into two great parts separated by one period from imprisonment 28 years, period during which our hero thoroughly will prepare his revenge. With the orders of various and varied racing cars, we will have to achieve a broad active panel of missions of the simple track race to the flight of car while passing by the convoying.

That means our statute of criminal will lead us to make use of weapons with fire and explosives in any kind. Handy and precise, the weapons can be shown and be made hear while at the same time they occupy only one shy person left the game play.

It will then be necessary to be general-purpose and effective in our destroying tasks worthy of Rambo. To track, destroy or protect will be our principal occupations in margin of our automobile activities.

Motor bikes are also available and playable, unfortunately these last are shown often delicate to control. The fall is often synonymous with defeat during the track races, but during my periods of transit that does not pose any problem. It is also possible of customizer our vehicles through specialized garages.

Finer than its predecessor, Driver: Parallel Lines knew to benefit from this long time and to make bear fruit its knowledge to make. One finds oneself with final with a play optimized and free from major faults. Nevertheless, it does not manage to join the demanding one normalized imposed by the current plays PC which are to tell the truth richer and varied in terms of textures.

Equipped one lifespan estimated between 8 and 10 hours, without counting the secondary missions, the play offers feelings to us which one lived many times. Waited a long time by the fans, this fourth opus draws some overall well and this in spite of the few defects technique. A return to half succeeded for a series which played in theory like in practice with the Russian roulette.
