Man, I loved the survival mode. My friend and I called the cops “super cops” because they were impossible to wreck, and they were so fast! We figured out we could cheese it by going to a hilltop in the San Francisco map and watching the cops fly over us, wrecking themselves on the way down.

I think it was the San Francisco map too. The cops would fly over the hills, and sometimes they’d land on a car and get launched into the air. It was like a Michael Bay movie, so fun!
@Remy
Yes! I used the same strategy in San Francisco. It kind of ruins the survival mode when all the cops are wrecked and you can just wait forever…

I used to find places where you could crash and glitch out of bounds. I told my parents I was exploring. It was awesome.
Good stuff 
No other game has ever captured the vibe of this one. I spent hours with my cousin doing crazy police chases. We even had a replay mode where we edited the best chase sequences into mini movies.

A great way to bond with family, huh?
Wait, this game wasn’t just a parking garage?

I spent most of my time in the garage though, haha.
Nostalgia is a powerful thing. I remember thinking the graphics were so good back then.

The way it all works is so confusing. I still don’t fully get it.

Looking at these clips now, I’m amazed by how much better the PC version looks compared to the PlayStation version. I don’t remember it being this clean!
What am I watching here?
This game was ahead of its time. I spent so many hours just trying to escape from the cops. I was also excited that you could smash through windows and tables in restaurants.
I couldn’t get M-rated games when I was younger, so I always played Driver instead of GTA. Loved them, especially Driver 3. The 70s vibe in Parallel Lines was amazing, I wish they’d make another game set in that time.
“It’s the cops! Get out of there.”
Flies away
I never got that far. Didn’t have the internet and had no idea what a slalom was back then…

Haha, exactly!
Can you land on any roofs, or do you just glitch through them?
