  1. A genuine and triumphant return to form for the Driver series, and even shows the mighty Grand Theft Auto franchise a few cool new tricks along the way. [April 2006, p.65]

    It gets the series back on track, but its lousy on-foot controls and AI restrictions really kill a lot of the major fun factor.
  3. It just doesn't have that unique style or irreverent humour of GTA. It's a driving game, first and foremost, which has stepped somewhat tentatively into a much larger gaming pool.
  4. Parallel Lines at least shows that the studio is on the right track.

    It's a really good gta type game with a few bugs but it's much better than Driv3r.
