Icon25 Driver: Parallel Lines Demo

The German Magazine "Offizielles Playstation 2 Magazin (OPM2)" released a demo of Driver: Parallel Lines.

I haven't played it yet, but I'll try to get an issue as soon as possible.

Are you sure its playable? Sounds good if it is. If they're giving people the chance to play it before they buy it this time, then maybe the games good and they know people will buy it after playing the demo

The second link says: Driver Parallel Lines - 1 borough/quarter (is this the right word ?^^). So you can cruise around without a time limit.

But as said I've to test it by myself.

Yes, it's strange. Normally the States are a little bit faster than Europe in most cases.

I coldn't find the mag in the shop. I hope I can get one tomorrow.

Wow. lol, we'd build a crappy boat, and by the time we are about a week out to sea and starving for food (I assume it would take a long time to get across the ocean on a home made wooden peice of junk), the demo would have already released in america.

Well, since there will be no PC version, I don't think there will be a PC demo.

Well it's true. The Germans were "The Meanies" throughout history. Think about it. The Revolutionary war, WWI, WWII and other wars and conflicts. Yes I was joking. I want to play D:PL SO BADLY!

But what have I to do with that ? Just because I'm German ? Today's generations didn't experience these conflicts, but are still made responsible for them. Do I hate Americans just because of Mr. Bush having started his "war against terrorism" ? No, I don't......sry, my English is getting worse....I must stop here.....

What I wanted to say: Don't use those comparisons any more, please!

Sorry, I didn't know you were german. I was just joking. If England got to play it first I'd say England would be starting a new Revolutionary War. I just want to make sense. I'm sorry Jay83, I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, germans are good people today.
