Driver Wii

[Wii_Rulez]

Yet another port from Ubisoft. This time like the title says it's Driver: Parallel Lines. The game came up on ESRB's official website proving that it's coming soon. Although Ubisoft made no comment about it yet.

I've seen game lists with this title on it, sounds pretty fun. Driv3r was badass.

I've never been a huge fan for Driver, the only ones I have are 1 & 2 on the PS.

DRIVER?!?!?!?

My God i loved that game on the PC, forget which one i had. Too bad my PC version was buggy from when i bought it, this is one of the games that i grew up with lol.

But i probably wont buy this unless they get some new features or at least a small graphics update. Either way Ill definitly keep this one on my list for now



:thumbsup:
PS: Nothing wrong with Ports.

Loved Driver: You Are the Wheelman and Driver 2... Never did end up playing anything after that though. I'll check this one out though.

unfortunatly I had it on the Xbox, and not only are the graphics no where near as good as in those screenshots (unless it has been 'updated' for the wii) but the game was riddled with aweful bugs and the missions were dull and badly designed.

I am gonna wait for the reviews personally, but as someone else says ports aren't bad, not by a long shot, I'd love to see some of my fav xbox and PS2 games on my Wii, this one just isn't one of my favs. (GTA is better, but the character design, graphics and physics in Driver : PL is shedloads better than GTA, GTA just 'plays' better.)

I remember once renting a Ps2 from blockbuster and renting Driver 1 and 2 along with it. The games were decent but I liked free roam/ride more than anything, which tured out to be pretty boring. I also played 3 but i didnt like that too much. If this Driver is good it can really help out Wii, not that it needs it. But if it were more successful on the Wii than the other systems, oh boy, thatd be sweet.
