I decided to buy both Driver : Parralel Lines & The Godfather. I have to say Driver is a lot better than i expected. I think that's mainly due to the fact that Reflections (the original team behind Driver) were involved in the making of this game. It feels like the sequel everybody always hoped for after it was announced that there would be a sequel to the Driver series on the PS2.
It certainly salvages some pride for Atari after the shambolic effort of Driver 3.
I have to say though that the Godfather is a much better game. It's perhaps my third favourite game of all time. Best mafia style game i have played since Mafia on the PC.
My overall score for both games :
Driver : Parralel Lines = 8/10
Godfather The Game = 10/10
