I would say no, mainly because I'm crap at video games
I could never finish games, the first Driver one I finished was Driver 76 when it came out. I then finished Driver on PSOne a few years later. I never finished Driv3r properly - that "Unlock all missions" cheat should come with all games!
I finished Parallel Lines with help as far as I can remember. I got past Chicago for the first time last year playing Driver 2 on my Xperia Play. In fairness though I did finished San Francisco in a day or two.
So maybe I'm better at them now.
Still though, keep them easy!
