PRIMA OFFICIAL GAME GUIDE

Basic Training

INTRO

Before we get to the individual job strategies, vehicle descriptions and in-depth weapon comparisons, make sure you read this entire section first. If

there was an “invaluable section” of this strategy guide, the Basic Training area would be the clear winner.

Driving

Techniques

Below you’ll find the basics of controlling and manipulating TK both in and out of the car. This includes tactics for ditching the cops, buying vehicle

upgrades and even in-depth tuning techniques. You’ll also find important game structure layouts, including maps of all the available story jobs and info

about the all-too-critical side jobs on offer.

Game

Structure &

Progression

Regardless of your playing style, the vast majority of your time in Driver: Parallel Lines is spent behind the wheel. As you’d expect, the abili-

ty to properly control your vehicle greatly influences your overall success in the game. Of course, your success also depends on your knowl-

edge of the game’s idiosyncrasies. This section will get you where you need to go fast.

THE BASICS

The following are some basic techniques that you might or might not already know. Either way, these represent the core of Driver: Parallel Lines.

Collisions

Dealing with Police

Wrecking your car is the most common way to screw up or even fail a job.

Collisions are usually a direct result of either travelling too fast or having

a cop (or third party) ram you into something. Learning to control the

throttle, brakes and steering is something that can’t be taught, but

instead, should be learned through experience. Once you have collisions

somewhat under control, the game flows much easier.

Make no mistake; running from the police is a hugepart of this game and

for most jobs it’s unavoidable. Sometimes though, keeping your car at

controllable speeds and avoiding collisions with other cars is a good way

to keep them off your back. When you see a cop on your Minimap, try to

behave until they’re out of range. This will save you a lot of headaches.

Managing Your Health

Controlling Your Speed

If you’re down to 45 percent health, and it’s time for a new job, it’s proba-

bly a good idea to stop by one of the garages to grab a Health Pack before

you give it a go. Nine times out of ten, you’ll actually save time by having

a full health bar and entering the job 100 percent rather than attempting

it with less than full health.

Although your first instinct is to blast around NYC as fast as possible at

all times, it is notnecessary best to drive everywhere at full tilt. You’ll

quickly find out that driving fast only leads to ridiculous repair bills and

unnecessary police pursuits . The New York City traffic is crazy — equally

so in both eras — and it’s just one of those things you have to learn to

deal with to be successful in the game.
