Driver seems dead :(
The driving around the city isn't that good between missions and the twitchy handling combined with the huge amount of snails pace traffic makes for some rather annoying collisions. The one and only good point to Driver 4 is the size of the city as its huge and has been created with create detail and is as big if not bigger than GTA SA.
On foot action hasn't changed that much from the mess that was Driver 3 but at least there is less of it this time round which is good for a game called Driver! The lock on targeting system for shooting on foot or doing drive by shooting works 75% of the time but sometimes it may target the wrong object making it frustrating at the best of times. This by far makes it the least enjoyable aspect of the game.
Police AI isn't great and are sometimes rather annoying. The slightest offense causes them to chase you resulting in you constantly looking at the little map view to pick them out to avoid them. Forcing players to follow the rules of the road is just plain ludicrous but you can just ignore the rules as they are easy to outrun and lose.
Bottom Line:
Graphically Driver 4 Parallel Lines is ok but the game on a whole isn't much better than Driver 3 which is a shame for a franchise that started off so well. You’ll find a few hours of entertainment here but I wouldn't recommend a game that is trying to hard to be a GTA clone.
