Driver: Parallel Lines is a 2006 action-adventure video game developed by Reflections Interactive as the fourth installment in the Driver video game series, following Driver 3 (2004). It was released by Atari for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, followed by ports to Microsoft Windows and Wii released in 2007 by Ubisoft, which had purchased the franchise. In a departure from previous titles in the series that focused on multiple cities, Parallel Lines takes place in New York City, within the periods of 1978 and 2006, in a fully open world environment.
