    It's one of those games where you can just jump in and have some fun driving and destroying everything around and go back to your daily life feeling satisfied and relaxed. It doesn't have the depth and complexity of GTA for sure but who cares? I don't think it's ever meant to be GTA, it's designed to be fun and it delivers!

    Fun game, but the pc version doesn't let you redefine the keyboard and mouse mappings, (it has different presets you can switch between)which is pretty bad, especially if you have a non standard keyboard like I do, buit the default mappings are mostly usuable. Graphics are not bad in 1920x1200, slightly above average quality for an Unreal Engine 3 games.

    The so called "official" reviews of this game have been so unfair to this title. The game offers massive over the top movie style action and it does so at a frantic pace. I think too many people have GTA4 in their minds when they look at another sandbox driving game, and I have played all the GTA's to death.

The game offers massive over the top movie style action and it does so at a frantic pace. I think too many people have GTA4 in their minds when they look at another sandbox driving game, and I have played all the GTA's to death. I've also played Saints Row 2 on the Xbox360 and if I had to pick one out that gave me a boost of adrenaline during missions, the Wheelman so far (without completing it) wins it hands down. I am an 'older' gamer of 39 years, and in many games, if I fail a mission in a game that has taken 10-30 minutes to do I tend to put it down and come back to it the next time. Wheelman keeps me at my PC and I have incentive to complete them because they are so much fun. Add into the mix, an amazing Soundtrack that fits in perfectly with the action going on, and you will be impressed. Listen to gamers views, not these so called experts who write biased reviews in their magazines and websites. This game should easily have a few scores of 90+. A big thumb's up from me. Oh, and on a last note, I run a q6600cpu, an 8800gtx with 4gb ram. On Vista x64 running at 1680x1050, forcing 16xAF and 2xAA via control panel I achieve over 80fps average. The game has never crashed ONCE since installation, and it is the only game in the past 12 months I've bought where I can remember never having to scrounge around forums trying to find fixes. The game is extremely stable and optimized for PCs.… Expand

    Yeah...the people who are getting paid to review this game really got it wrong. This game has a variety of challenges you can do. The driving portion of the game is extremely fun air jacking just to boost your focus and use it to your advantage is a really great concept.

    completely agree with Sarah L here, the game is addictive, been wanting this since i played the demo, i see it as a mix of GTA, Burnout and Descruction Derby (oh my god i wanna play DB 2 now..)

    It really is not a bad release for thier first. i wouldnt trust the reviews, i feel they are FAR too misleading.

    No Multiplayer Server Files = Non interested gamer. I bought the day it was released hoping to really nail some online noobs, not knowing the server files weren't released for the Multi-player side of the game. Honestly, do you buy a game just for the single player if your a hardcore gamer?

    LOL. Just come here to see some guy making a bunch of accounts to raise the score. 0! The game was terrible. Just doesn't compare to much better games like Saints Row and GTA. Sorry.

    Very interesting, Karolina M, SarahL, RaymondF (and so on) reviewing this title. Obviously, it's 1 person, 1 fan, with multiple accounts, but LAME as hell, doubled his name same style and writing reviews same way. Amateur are you...
    The game: enjoyable game with many bugs, failures. Recommended, if you like GTA, but GTA is better.

    Самолюбование Вина Дизеля, странная физика и всего лишь лицензированный автомобиль в игре. Как это получилось? Игра сумеет поджарить пятую точку своими сложными заданиями.

    I just didn't give this game a 10 because of a bug in the sky and a horrible shadow bug that bothers me a lot, other than that the game is "perfect" almost everything in the scenario and destructible apart from the physics which is also cool

    best vin diesel game out there

    The collaboration between Vin Diesel’s software house and Midway has given birth to something original and exciting, with fast paced action and Hollywood blockbuster’s style as the best elements in the game. Longevity, around 15 hours, is another strong point in the production, making of this game a must have for all the free roaming action game lovers, who will find in Wheelman the right dose of adrenaline and cinematic action.

    Wheelman is best described as a B-movie. Bad production values and a lousy script. However, the funny one-liners, bad dialog and over-the-top action make up for lost ground. Wheelman is by far a good game, but still a very enjoyable one.

    Carjacking is quick and fun, at least the first few times. After the first few missions, things feel awfully repetitive.
