1: Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi everybody, this is my second text about a video game, the first was an
extended Driver 2 (the best game of the Driver series) guide in Spanish. But
this time I didn't want to write another extended guide because it gets some
boring (like happened with a guide project for Driv3r, a game which besides
is actually bad) and I rather did a guide of the best tricks I have
found to complete the story mode more easily.
This tricks guide is based in the English version for Playsation 2 but it's
also useful for the Xbox one.
To see the guide's ASCII art graphics well, you must choose a monospace font
like Courier New o Fixedsys, although I recommend Lucida Console.
-If somebody wants to translate some of this guide to another language
and put it in a website you are free to do so, but I put the condition of
giving me the credit as the maker of this guide.

2: The game and the story
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Driver Parallel Lines was created by Reflections Interactive and released in
2006 under the distribution of the same French company which released the
other three games of the Driver series: in 1998 its name was GT Interactive,
between 1999 and 2000, Infogrames (infograms in French) and since December
2000, Atari (Infogrames has acquired this brand by buying Hasbro Interactive
which in his turn got it from JTS Corporation, which in his turn had united
with the former hardware division of the original Atari).
Driver Parallel Lines's story breaks with the series of adventure of the
"wheelman" Tanner and changes completely:
New York, 1978. TK is a driver who was earning a living from short jobs
until a friend called Ray who owns three car repair shops introduces him to
a sort of less trustworthy entrepreneur called Slink, who gives TK works
more and more important and later he introduces him to another guys of his
kind ("The Mexican" and Bishop) whom gives more jobs to TK till they
compromise him first in the release from prison of Candy (a guy who knows to
plan the job very well) and later in the kidnaping of a Colombian drug dealer
for ransom, all that to the orders of the lately known boss of the group,
Corrigan. TK becomes the main executor of the kidnaping but also the only
one who falls convicted for it, to 28 years in prison, so when getting freed
in 2006 (he didn't even got a punishment reduction for good behavior!) what
he wants the most is to take revenge from those who used and abandoned him
such as a punk.

3: Graphics of jobs/missions order
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
En Driver Parallel lines les pusieron dizque trabajos a las misiones, pero
yo prefiero llamar trabajos a las "misiones" que otros nos encomiendan y
misiones propiamente dichas a los "trabajos" que hacemos por cuenta propia o
como parte de la venganza de 2006 contra quienes nos traicionaron.

5: Tricks on jobs and missions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LAST CHANCE
Search for a Yamashita motorbike because porque it's the fastest (it exceeds
100 MPH); the Chopper is the slowest (you better avoid it).
There are two shortcuts in the climb curves, one of them is a piece of grass
you can cross... and then TK will say "Time to get some off-roading". And
soon after, another one, a narrow pass, when you enter there, TK will say
"I'm the man".
BREAD RUN
Go first to the farthermost club from the starting point, this way it will
be lesser the course you will have to do being pursued.
ROSALITA RACER
The customized Andec Slink gave you is useful in this "job".
After completing this job, it's possible to find one of the punk cars which
you ran against, prefer a Cerrano Punk and store it at Ray's garage in La
Guardia.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
When each race is about to finish, it's better to take a Cerrano Racer of
those parked on the pits, so that after the finish you have a car that will
be useful later. In fact, you will need the Cerrano Racer you take near the
finish of the first race to use it in the second one, and the other one you
take in this race will be useful for side races or jobs and you can discard
it when it's wrecked but you will have the Cerrano Racer you won by
finishing this "job".
AIR MAIL
Here it's needed to use the handbrake button to make the motorbike spins in
less space (in motorbikes the "handbrake" makes you spin with your leg
instead of the solely motorbike brake, which surprisingly is a handbrake).
PADDY WAGON
Recommended cars: the Cerrano Racer and the Andec Slink gave you.
To avoid time delays, it's better to park the vehicle to the South in the
point where this job starts.
Instead of shooting against the convoy, it's better to crash another cars
against the leading cop car so that it will take damage, also this will make
the cop cars and the wagon crash from time to time against other cars and
obstacles till they will wreck and the wagon get jammed between the stranded
cop cars. Then Get in the wagon and that's all, job completed.
JAIL BREAK
Before touching the area to enter the jail, steal the prison bus, take it to
Ray's Autos in La Guardia and store it there. You'll have to restart the job
later but you'll have won the bus.
GIFT WRAPPED
You have enough time to go first and store the pickup truck in La Guardia's
garage.
KIDNAP
Before stepping the point where you start this job, get out by the little
space between this area and the exit of the building where your safehouse
is, then go to where the teleport area toward any of Ray's garages is and
there select the Cerrano Racer, later relocate yourself to your safehouse
again and being in the car now step the area of this job.
In the area where you have to detonate the first bomb, park toward South
so that you don't have to waste time making an U turn to continue.
There's an alley useful as a shortcut to the bridge where you diverted the
Colombians, to avoid they shoot you before is better to come first to this
alley's entrance and from there detonate the pickup truck bomb, this way
you'll be able to escape by the alley and take a great advantage to them
to the next point where you'll have to put the third bomb.
RANSOM
Before stepping the point where you start this job, you should enter any of
Ray's garages and repair all vehicles you have stored until your money runs
off because in the game all prices of 1978 get multiplied by 10 in 2006.
Moreover, after completing this job and entering 2006, you lose all the
money you had in 1978 and start again with $0.
THE MEXICAN
Before stepping the area where you start this mission, steal a standard car
(a sedan, although a sport car would be better) and drive into it to the
area where the mission starts. This way you'll be already inside a car when
the pursuit to the train where the Mexican goes starts.
TAILGATE
The garaje is just to the left of the car you start this mission in, you
just must to make two U turns to enter to store it.
RAM RAIDER
To be able to use the Ram Raider in later missions, you better go to Hunt's
Point garage to store it. You'll have to restart the mission but the Ram
Raider will be very useful in such later missions!
SHELL SHOCK
Enter completely to the garage to store the pickup truck of the weapons
before stopping in the point where this job finishes.
RIDING SHOTGUN
You have enough time to take the motorbike to Hunt's Point garage, store it
and after that do deliver it to Candy's client. This Antilli V03 Special is
the fastest motorbike of the game and can be very useful in some later
missions.
RUSH HOUR
I recommend two types of vehicles for this job: the Ram Raider and the
Antilli V08 Special motorbike, just the vehicles you can win in two early
jobs.
To avoid time delays, it's better to park the vehicle toward the street in
the place where this job starts.
SLINK
Before stepping the point where this misssion starts, choose the grenade
launcher so that this is the first weapon that appears when you start
pursuing Slink.
When the pursuit starts, take the first turn with the handbrake, this way
you'll be closer enough to destroy Slink's van with the first shoot you
launch.
The "Pimp wagon" you start in is very rare, I recommend you store it.
que empiezas esta misi�n es muy rara, recomiendo que la almacenes.
BISHOP
Step the area where this mission starts riding the motorbike located in the
entrance of the forest, this way it's possible to complete the mission.
CANDY
Get to Candy's in the fastest vehicle you have, this way is less hard to
reach Candy before the effect of the drug worsens.
HOME WRECKER
You better pursue Corrigan's limousine in the Ram Raider.
CORRIGAN
To go to Corrigan's safehouse, I recommend the Antilli V03 Special or the
Ram Raider.

6: Curiosities about Driver Parallel Lines
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-During the mission "Bear cage", in an office of the police department,
there's a sign which says "Driver 4" with a photo of Tanner, the main
character of the other three games of the Driver series.
-The game has only a reference to the historic reality: in the cutscene that
appears after the first 8 jobs, TK's clock radio wakes him with the news of
a Jimmy Carter's speech, although the radio is turned off quickly by TK.
-Parallel lines is also the name of an album that the pop-rock group Blondie
released in 1978; one of its songs, "One way or another" sounds in the 1978
part. However, it was an error because the song was only released in the US
in 1979.
