Nostalgia pur is an absolute gem that continues to impress, even years after its original release. As a fan of classic driving games, I was beyond excited to revisit this thrilling open-world action game, and I can confidently say it exceeded all expectations! From the very start, the game captures your attention with its engaging story, set in the vibrant city of New York, across two different time periods—1978 and 2006. The narrative is captivating, full of twists and turns, and keeps you hooked throughout your journey. The dual timeline is a unique feature that adds layers to the plot, making it an unforgettable experience. The driving mechanics are smooth, precise, and incredibly satisfying. Whether you're zooming through crowded streets, engaging in high-speed chases, or executing jaw-dropping stunts, Driver® Parallel Lines delivers an exciting ride every time. The variety of vehicles is impressive, and the open-world environment allows for endless exploration and fun. What really stands out about this game is the level of detail in both the world-building and the soundtrack. The city feels alive, with pedestrians bustling about, cars whizzing by, and every corner offering something new to discover. The soundtrack, which perfectly complements the '70s vibe, brings a sense of nostalgia and energy that keeps you immersed in the game. Despite being a bit older, Driver® Parallel Lines still holds up remarkably well, offering a fun, action-packed experience that never gets old. The combination of exciting driving, engaging missions, and memorable characters makes it a standout title that any fan of the genre will enjoy. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, this game is a must-play. The timeless appeal of Driver® Parallel Lines proves that great gameplay never goes out of style! I really love the Drivers game and I hope that one day I can buy Driver 3 on steam! 10/10 ! Get Goo Goo Alu!

I bought this game with low hopes thinking it wouldn't be like the other Driver installments, but it was one of the best games I played in a while, not to mention the music is hella good -- albeit I wished it was easier to select songs instead of having to flip through a good chunk of them.

This is actually a really fun game that reminds me of what games aren't these days - No DLCs - Cheat cods - Cool unlockable items - 4 GB storage space - No weird bugs

The rating for this game back in 2006 was incredibly unfair. The gameplay and driving physics were fantastic and way ahead of its time. The police would chase you if you sped or drove on the wrong side of the road, and if you swapped cars on foot without them seeing you, they’d lose track of you. The 70s setting, with its music and cars, was amazing, and the twist in the story was one of the most memorable ones in my childhood. The on foot experience wasn’t good as GTA, but most of the game involved driving, which is where it truly excelled. It’s one of the few PS2 games I can still play today without feeling its age.
