For the Wii version, the felony bar has been replaced with Grand Theft Auto-esque 'stars' which light up when the player attracts police attention. The same principle applies to out-of-car activities, such as weapon use, and allows the player to holster a weapon in order to lose police attention until spotted committing illegal acts again. It can be reactivated, though, by spending too much time in the sight of a police officer, who will eventually recognize the player as 'wanted'. If the player attracts police attention on foot or in a certain vehicle and then loses the police and enters a 'clean' car, their wanted level will be suspended. Many changes have been made from DRIVER, including visible blood when someone is shot, a money system, fully modifiable vehicles, environment destruction (i.e., lamp posts can now be run over and fire hydrants can break, spewing water into the air), and a new felony system that differentiates between personal felony and felony 'attached' to vehicles the player has used. Instead of choosing minigames from a menu as in previous Driver titles, minigames are now accessed from the in-game world. The Kid aka TK, the new main character, received Game Informer's 'Biggest Dork of 2006' award.ĭriver: Parallel Lines takes place in an entirely open world environment. This is the first game of the Driver series that does not follow undercover cop Tanner. The game was received better by critics than DRIV3R, but still was criticized, including its simple gameplay, hit-or-miss controls, and derivative storyline. Due to the underwhelming performance of Driv3r, particularly the often-derided on-foot sections, Parallel Lines returns to the formula used in earlier games in the series, focusing on driving, although shooting remains in the game.

Diverging from previous Driver games, Parallel Lines takes place in just one city, New York City, instead of multiple cities, but in the middle of the story you change to different eras of the city - 19.
