To the surprise of nobody, Driver: Parallel Lines is now officially set for release on Nintendo's new console. The game appeared conspicuously on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board's official website, which has been known to inadvertently debut upcoming titles, several weeks ago. Shortly thereafter it popped up in magazine scans and now Ubisoft has come right out and revealed that a Wii version of Parallel Lines is indeed well into development and scheduled for a summer release in America.
Steam’s deal of the day for September 27th is Driver® Parallel Lines. Also the sale will end in 24 hours, hence the “deal of the day”, so you have until 1pm EST or 10am PST tomorrow to grab this deal. Below is a description on the game as well as some important information.
I like the way these articles are approved only a few hours before the deal ends.
Better than no approval though, I guess.
Booth from Fangwheel gives us the background on Driver, leading up to Driver: San Francisco.
Like Grand Theft Auto, the Driver series of games have always embraced the fast cars/cops versus robbers dynamic to varying degrees of success. Previous outing Driv3r suffered from poor 'on foot' missions and the unfair speed advantage the cops had when it came to catching you.
Parallel Lines does take bits and pieces from Driv3r but mostly things have been improved, with the game concentrating more on the driving (makes sense seeing as that's what the series is called). This time there's no sign of undercover cop Tanner though, as you play a cocky young getaway driver called TK (The Kid).
