Driver: Parallel Lines vs The Italian Job

Set in a single sprawling city, Driver: Parallel Lines lets you experience the gritty streets of New York in two eras – 1978 and 2006. You play as 18‑year‑old T.K., a countryside kid turned wheelman, navigating the criminal underworld while mastering high‑speed chases and on‑foot gunplay. The game returns to the series’ classic driving focus, offering open‑world exploration, vehicle combat, and a story that weaves heists, betrayals, and a final showdown that lands T.K. in Sing‑Sing prison. It blends racing thrills with shooter elements for a uniquely cinematic experience.

Step into the shoes of Charlie Croker and his crew as they plot revenge after a double‑cross in Venice. Based on the classic film, the game thrusts you into a chaotic Los Angeles where you must create the biggest traffic jam ever before making a daring escape in supercharged Mini Coopers. Beyond the story mode, the game offers stunt driving, circuit racing, and split‑screen multiplayer, delivering fast‑paced action for up to two players on the PlayStation 2.
