Description
SynopsisBeneath the exotic, sun-dappled surface of Barcelona, a sinister criminal underworld thrives. Only by infiltrating this dark and dangerous realm will undercover agent Milo Burik be able to gather intelligence key to thwarting a covert heist. Relying on his sharply honed driving skills, Burik poses as a driver-for-hire. But in the course of his investigation, he'll find himself in the midst of unimaginable corruption and chaos, caught between rival gangs and local law enforcement. Only by driving like he's never driven before will Burik be able to save his own hide and take down his enemies in the process.Take to the streets of Barcelona for high-octane, Hollywood-style action in Wheelman. Play as expert driver Milo Burik — voiced by and based on the likeness of action star Vin Diesel. Demonstrate your skills behind the wheel as you navigate with incredible speed through streets teeming with traffic and pedestrians. Experience thrilling car chases inspired by some of Hollywood's most legendary action sequences, and perform such death-defying stunts as Cyclones and Air Jacks to stay one step ahead of your enemies. Blast away windshields, sideswipe vehicles and even hit the pavement on foot as you destroy your enemies and prove you're more than a mere Wheelman.

Great Game

I thought this game was just going to be another copycat video game. Actually it sets itself apart from others. Sure there are some factors in this game that stand out from other games, but Wheelman gives itself some of its own space. You play somewhat of the runner guy or driver and you're on this missions. I don't know this game is more centered around the cars and putting in action inside the vehicle. I had fun playing this game. The visuals was cool, the stunts and many added feature. Plus the chase scenes. Get this game and get it now!

Midnight Club meet's Grand Theft Auto!!

Wheelman is like a cross between midnight club and GTA, with the use of Fast & the furious and XXX's Vin Deisel as the main character Milo. You have to do different missions and drive people places and stuff like that, so basicly it's like your playing as an extreme taxi driver. The stuff you do while driving is awsome! You can drive backwards and shoot your enemie's, and even jump from one car to the next! Wheelman rocks!!!

good thought, poor execution

this game starts off similar to the first review...it rocks...for the first 5 minutes. after you start playing it and doe a few stunts to switch vehicles (which is cool) the game runs rather dry and boring. i kept it for about 3 days after i bought it and got rid of it..i wasted my money, and since it wasnt great the price decreased. to be honest i should have been smart enough to download the demo...so if you are thinking of getting this game...download the demo since it is free of course. do keep in mind that driving and stunts is all you will be doing..so if you have fun doing that over and over again buy it, if not you will probably not like the game.
the game needs more diversions besides driving 99% of the time. i would recommend the demo, then a rental becuase in the demo they will probably have one mision which teaches you some cool moves and make the game seem great..rent after if the demo does not discourage you..if you do that, i know my advise will save a few people some money.

I normally don't play games like this but for this I'll make an exception. This game has very good gameplay, graphics, and seems to have a good storyline (I only have the demo). Do not sleep on this game...

Save your money

You should save your money for a different game here, this game is fun for about 5 minutes. Then after that all interest will be lost. The AI characters you fight, do the same thing over and over again, they are completely predictable. This is the reason, the game is on sale simply just a few days after being released for sale. If this is a gift, just get the person a gift card so that they can purchase a different game of their choice.
