    I wanted Wheelman to be a guilty pleasure, like 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, but it's just guilty of being a poor game.

    It’s like an ironic mustache or mullet. Like having a Steven Segal DVD in your collection. You’ll never get any real use out of it. You just have it in with your other games to show you friends you have a sense of humor.

    although it has lots of content, challenges, arcade modes the game drags on alot near the end of the game via the story. it gets tiring to play. If you dont like chase sequences, dont buy this game there is alot of chase/ escape from a gang of car sequences lool. itll drive you crazy.
