Diverging from previous Driver games, Parallel Lines takes place in just one city, New York, instead of multiple cities. This game takes place in two time periods; 1978 and 2006. Due to the underwhelming performance of [[DRIV3R]], particularly the often-derided on-foot sections, Parallel Lines returns to the formula used in earlier games in the series, focusing on driving, although shooting still remains in the game. This is the first game of the Driver series that does not follow the series' undercover cop John Tanner.
