With the game already released and available for purchase, here's some sweet eye-candy in the form of three gameplay videos for those of us who have yet to nab a copy of Ubisoft's Driver: Parallel Lines for the Nintendo Wii. We get you the skinny on what's in store the minute you stick it in - the game disc, I mean.

The first video isn't really gameplay at all, but more of a cutscene, and it pretty much shows off the fact that the game has strippers. Not quite the car-bouncing variety we're used to from Grand Theft Auto, but it's certainly attention-grabbing for the most part.

The second is the game's introduction that lets you bop your head to the groovy soundtrack while you get filled in on just who you are, and where you'll be tearing it up on four wheels. The final video's all about driving skills, and it shows us how to use to Nunchuk attachment to perform flashy (and useful) tricks with the car's handbrake. Neat.

Enough spoilers from us, enjoy the videos!

The rest of the videos after the jump!

Ubisoft released a new trailer for its upcoming video game Driver: Parallel Lines. The video shows a lot of in-game footage interspersed with a guy holding the Wiimote and Nunchuk showing fans the excitement of acting out all the driving and shooting one can find in the title.

At first, the trailer has this funky feel reminding us all of the game's background story. The plot of Parallel Lines begins in the year 1978 when the main protagonist TK (The Kid) is part of an infamous crime gang. Then the tone shifts to a rather dark one as TK was sent to prison until his ultimate revenge on his former "friends" 28 years later.

Driver: Parallel Lines is part of the successful Driver franchise and is actually the fourth installment in the series.

As promised, we have put our internet hamsters to work to bring you more updates on Ubisoft's game, Driver: Parallel Lines. They did find us another batch of screenshots for the upcoming Wii video game.

Driver: Parallel Lines is the fourth incarnation in the game series, and is also the first one without Officer Tanner. TK (or The Kid. It's cheesy, we know) is the new main character in the game. He gets framed for a murder and sent to prison... well, you probably know what happens next. In the new screenshots, we see some fast car chases and shootouts.

Anyway, Driver: Parallel Lines will be screeching toward the shelves in a couple of days, June 26 for North America and June 28 for Europe. In the meantime, check out the screenshots.

More screenshots right after the jump!

The first Driver game for the original PlayStation was a good mission-based game of the genre that produced a significant following. Since then, its popularity waned through the succeeding generations and lukewarm reception made the series look as if it was running on empty.

As a result, Ubisoft eventually took over developer Reflections Interactive and absorbed all 80 members of the studio. After a short pit stop, they're ready to roll out again with the new Driver: Parallel Lines game for the Nintendo Wii.

The trailer shows a glimpse of things to come and it looks like there's going to be a breath of new life in the franchise. It's still early to rave about it but at least we're seeing a glimmer of hope for a series we'd all hate to see break down. Here's hoping for the best!

What we have here is the latest batch of screenshots for upcoming video game Driver: Parallel Lines. Publisher Ubisoft recently announced that the action/driving title will be available across Europe this coming June 28. The franchise used to be owned by Atari but Ubisoft acquired it late last year.

Parallel Lines first appeared back in 2006 on the original Xbox and PlayStation 2 (PS2). The Wii version has been enhanced with various improvements, such as the addition of compatibility with the motion-sensitive controllers. The Nunchuk will be used to drive vehicles while the Wiimote is for aiming at and shooting down enemies.

Focusing on the game itself, Drive: Parallel Lines offers around 35 different missions to be accomplished all over New York City. Another interesting thing about these missions is that they are divided between two eras, with one from the late 70s and the other one occurring around the present time.

Driver: Parallel Lines has finally gotten a European release date. According to an Ubisoft announcement, this Nintendo Wii title will be released across Europe on June 28.

This new Ubisoft title is the fourth edition of Reflections Interactive's action/driving game. Driver: Parallel Lines is set in New York City and features an open mission structure that presents players with a story full of double-cross and revenge set against a backdrop that spans two distinct eras of New York City.

As a Wii title, Driver: Parallel Lines will intuitively make use of the Wii console's Wiimote and Nunchuk combo. Players can use the Wiimote to select their targets and shoot them down. The Nunchuk, on the other hand, will be used to drive vehicles and control the main character.

 

After the few information that trickled in for Ubisoft's Driver: Parallel Lines, it's now time to open up the dam and let screenshots flow out this time. Our catch may not be enough as of yet to satiate your craving to know more about this title. But we say that five is always better than nothing. Or even just one.

Anyhow, there still isn't any new updates regarding Driver: Parallel Lines. So keep that interest parked just a bit longer. Now that the screenshots have started trickling in, we're expecting to hear more about this game from Ubisoft (hint, hint). So keep those fingers crossed (include your toes if you want); as for us, we'll be on the lookout for more details on this game as they come. In the meantime, check out the screens.

   

This is a little follow-up to our earlier report about the sandbox title Driver: Parallel Lines. Ubisoft only mentioned that the game will utilize the Wiimote and Nunchuk intuitively. But seeing that these controllers can't be generally called as common, fans are still wondering how exactly they will be put to use.

The Barcelona-based Ubi devs gave a few pointers about the matter. According to them, the Wiimote will be used to select the target, master the weapon, as well as shoot down the enemies. The Nunchuk, on the other hand, will be used to drive and adjust the speed. It will also be used to control the character as well as it gestures.

The development team then added that the controls for Parallel Lines will totally be different compared to the PS2 and Xbox versions. They explained,

We have also implemented a new controller concept. There is no auto-target; so the player will be able to point and shoot everywhere on the screen. We have changed the camera to an OTS (over the shoulder) view. The advantage is that the experience is similar to a FPS so it's more fun as well.

As we mentioned, Driver: Parallel Lines comes from the sandbox genre. While these pointers will prove to be useful, the real fun lies in discovering them for yourself. With that said, be sure to get the game when it arrives on March 30.

After Ubisoft's acquisition of the Driver franchise from Atari late last year, it's been revealed that the deal's first-born child will be a re-release of Driver: Parallel Lines, slated to come out on the Nintendo Wii on March 29. Just recently, Ubisoft has seen fit to let some details out of the bag regarding the game (the "Specific Wii special effects" thing sounds interesting). Read on for the dirt, straight from Aussie-Nintendo.com.

After much speculation and meandering scuttlebutts, ESRB finally confirmed that Ubisoft's Driver: Parallel Lineswill indeed be heading to the Wii. It shouldn't come as a surprise really, especially after Ubi acquired the Driver franchise way back in July. But anyway, let's leave memory lane for a while now and shift our attention to the goodies we have with us right now -- the first batch o' screenies!

Little is known about the game, no word yet on multiplayer and online modes, but what we do know is that Ubisoft is targeting a March release for this one. And I dunno about you guys, but based on these screens, it looks like the guys at Reflections Interactive are doing a good job in developing Parallel Lines. As for gameplay details, we're gonna have to wait for more info to come out. So while we do that, go on and ogle at these screens we have today. We'll keep you posted.
