    Starring Vin Diesel as the Wheelman, you're on the run from the mafia in the U.S. and returning to Barcelona, a place where you have a dark past and criminal gangs infest the city. Read more

    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

    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.

    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

    Wheelman contains some good ideas and original touches, which could have been an inspired game. However it is knocked back into neutral from when it should be hitting top gear by average execution and inconsistencies. Wheelman can be an ultimately frustrating experience, and so might be the reason why many game retailers always have this in their special bargain category. I would say this can be a nice rental for a few days as it brings me back slightly to that arcade... Read more

    Fast paced action/driving game. Finished it in 2 days (not played constantly). Quite enjoyed it actually and liked the side missions. Was not sure what to expect after reading other reviews but think it is definately worth a rental. Read more
