Driver: Parallel Lines for Wii Reviews by Gamers

Frankly, the lame excuses I see for poor ratings on this game are from people who play every console available. So it has no cheats, big deal.. tone up your skills like everyone else.
The graphics are better than most I've seen, especially for being a Wii racing game.. unless you're hooked on Mario Kart. Overall, it's not as bad as what most people are making it out to be.

The controls are not customizable. You have to steer the car with the nunchuck joystick. Why would Ubisoft ignore the awesome accelerometer capabilities of the Wii remote and force you to steer with your thumb?

Movement on foot is especially frustrating. Panning the camera is done by pointing the Wii remote to the edge of the screen, and it is very hard to control what you want to look at while you are walking.

Also, the throttle is controlled from a nunchuck button, so its either full throttle or nothing. This is lame because at full throttle, the tires spin for a while before they grip. You cant feather it and give half throttle at all. Oh yea, cops don't like it when you do burnouts (which are impossible to avoid) so just driving anywhere near a cop causes them to chase after you. Lame.

Poorly thought out controls make this game no fun to play and if I had purchased it before playing, I'd promptly return it for a refund.
