Fun GTA-like experience, but lacks depth and liveliness
Pretty fun game. It's like Grand Theft Auto, but for the Wii. Racing, shooting, and of course, getting chased by the police. However, unlike GTA, the story hardly captivates, and the city feels bare and empty. Driver: Parallel lines is enjoyable, but not for long.

Personal tip:
How can I shoot unnoticed and evade agents?
Fancy some shooting without the hassle of the police chasing you in Driver: Parallel Lines? First, check the map to see if the police are around, then you can go ahead and do your thing! If the police do show up, they won't realize it was you, so you can just hang around like nothing happened!
Personal tip:
How to shake off the police?
Are the police on your tail once again? Well, you've got two great options to shake them off. Firstly, check if there's a large park nearby (on the map) in Driver: Parallel Lines. If there is, head over there and tear around for a bit. Nine times out of ten, you'll lose them there!
No park around? No worries! There's always water nearby in the form of a pond, river, or ocean. Get into a vehicle and make sure the police are following you. Then simply drive into the water, and the police will follow you! Unlike the police, you'll just come back out of the water! This won't affect your life meter in the top left corner of the screen.
Be careful! This only works if there are 1, 2, or 3 police cars chasing you, not if they come with a van or helicopter!
Personal tip:
How can I escape from the police in Driver: Parallel Lines?
If you have the police on your tail in Driver: Parallel Lines, just keep on driving. The key is to find a road that continues straight ahead (or a bridge). If you keep driving fast for a while, you'll notice the stars at the bottom of the screen, indicating that the police are onto you, disappear and you can just carry on!

This isn't really a tip, but it's quite noticeable: When you progress further in Driver: Parallel Lines (just out of prison), all the weapons look very strange.
