| Atari's 'Driver: Parallel Lines' Takes Off Atari, Inc. has announced that Driver: Parallel Lines, the upcoming Hollywood-style action driving game, has shipped to retail stores worldwide. Driver: Parallel Lines is the fourth instalment in the blockbuster Driver franchise. Developed by award-winning studio Reflections Interactive, Driver: Parallel Lines is available for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system and Xbox video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Driver: Parallel Lines offers an open, fast-paced driving action-movie experience and features an unfolding storyline of double crossing and revenge set over two distinct decades in New York City. Driver: Parallel Lines places gamers in New York City during two distinct eras - the 1970s and today - and centers on TK, an 18 year-old driving prodigy seeking fortune and fame. Gifted, popular and arrogant, TK is one of the best drivers-for-hire in town and is known by everyone - from street hustlers, petty criminals, and racer boys to the shadowy crime figures that pay for his skills at the wheel. TK gets involved with a scheming group bent on taking down one of the biggest names in the underground crime scene. However, TK gets double crossed and ultimately is imprisoned for 28 years. Fast forward to 2006 where the action kicks back in, and TK is older, meaner, and determined on settling some serious scores. TK needs to call on every driving trick in his considerable repertoire to tame the over-powered road machines that 2006 presents him. After twenty-plus years in jail, it's time to hit the streets once again. Driver: Parallel Lines boasts a diverse in-game soundtrack consisting of 80+ songs from both eras. A number of hip-hop, punk, rock and dance tracks from a varied roster of artists like Blondie, David Bowie, Funkadelic, Iggy Pop, WAR, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Roots, LCD Soundsystem, TV on the Radio, Kaiser Chiefs, Secret Machines and The Dead 60's are included on the soundtrack. Driver: Parallel Lines also features several amazing new exclusives from ground-breaking artists such as Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash, Suicide, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arthur Baker, Mylo, Paul Oakenfold, Lifesavas featuring Vernon Reid, and the Audio Bullys. Driver: Parallel Lines tempts gamers to modify and juice up cars while engaging in a thrilling Hollywood-style game. Driver: Parallel Lines provides a free roaming, stylized New York City. The game offers over 30 diverse missions and nearly 50 mini missions that load without wait times, realistic driving physics, a brand new story and a top-notch soundtrack. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
