    You will of course see this kind of behaviour in other games for sure, and Wheelman collectively smacks of other titles... but, well, I can't knock it as much as perhaps it would be sane for me to do so. Putting most of what you look for in a game aside and switching about 60-70% of your brain off and Wheelman ain't that bad. Read more

    As a game reviewer and certainly as a gamer in general, there is always an inevitable amount of skepticism when a game comes out that is based on a movie. There isn't a real need to say this, because as a gamer, you've already realised that the skepticism is ultimately caused by the fact that games based on movies are generally awful and rushed experiences, designed often to try and make some quick cash upon release of the film that the game is based on. So here is The... Read more

    After dipping his toe in family friendly fare The Pacifier and flop sci-fi actioner Babylon A.D, Vin Diesel wisely came to the conclusion that he does his best work behind the wheel of a fast car. With that in mind, he joined with Midway Games to create The Wheelman and a movie version is currently being made by John Singleton, who 'directed' 2 Fast 2 Furious. Read more

    Car enthusiasts may well be disappointed by The Wheelman's unoriginality, but at least it doesn't take itself too seriously and the action is as fast and, er, furious as promised. Read more

    Wheelman is a third person driving adventure title working as a starring vehicle, no pun intended, for action movie star Vin Diesel. The player takes the role of Milo Burik, a wheelman who returns from retirement to help out a friend by interfering in a gang war in Barcelona, Spain.  The generic story is presented in a suitable movie style with several effects points and overly stereotypical thug...

    Wheelman is a decent action based combat heavy racing game with elements of open world gameplay in it. You play an undercover cop trying to bring down the criminals by doing various missions for them and gaining trust. This has been done before yes, but the game is a lot of fun, mainly due to the fact that it's quite fast and furious (pardon the vin diesel reference) the fact that you can leap between cars mid chase and use special moves that are actually helpful is a...
