Gamespot not what it used to be.

User Rating: 8.4 | Driver: Parallel Lines PS2
Phew, I just don't get you guys. Flat characters, stupid story, questionable gameplay & controls. Where do you guys get these things. Parallel Lines' characters are on par with all other games in this genre (better than GTA3 and VC, not as good as San Andreas), the strory is compelling, the time shift also changes the gameplay a bit and the control you have over your car is the best even. This game is called "Driver", and you can realy BE the best driver in the game. Cutting corners, getting away trough oncomming traffic, car chases have never been this thrilling. Driver always had the the best driving physics, and it still has. The gamespot review is just negative because you guys hated the previous one (which wasn't half as bad as you guys said), and Atari is on the gaming press hit list. Nothing these guys do is good enough anymore. I bought Parallel Lines the moment te store opened (I'm on a 2 week holiday), played more than 10 hours and loved every minute of it. 6.5, give me a break. 8.5 would be more appropriate.
