Play:
Driver: Parallel Lines (PC) - finished the story missions, I only had
a few left as it turned out. I suppose overall the game was... sort of
not too bad, with probably the map being the best feature, such as it
is. I might have been a bit more enthusiastic if I'd actually played
the Wii version at the time (assuming that was a bearable port), but
now it's hard not to see this as leaning too much on the twin time
periods gimmick with not a whole lot else to distinguish it from other city-based sandbox games involving crime, cars, and combat, like the
obvious example everyone always thinks of, Lego City Undercover.
Want:
Nothing.
Bin:
DPL having NPCs flying around in helicopters at times, but seemingly
not letting you do that yourself - actually making it inferior in that
respect to LCU. Similarly, there's an inexplicable lack of
chicken-assisted gliding and cannon-powered pig collection available
to the player, though at least in those cases the NPCs magnanimously
choose not to taunt us with such profligate lifestyle choices.
