    Spectacular car chases, cinematic jumps and collisions with cars and motorcycles, as well as provide exciting shootouts throughout for all the action.

    MEDICORE AT BEST.
    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.
    if you want a good open world experience play just cause 2 came out aorudn the same    MEDICORE AT BEST.

    if you want a good open world experience play just cause 2 came out aorudn the same time as this game but better in its gameplay loop. Now i will say the mini sub GTA formular wheelman has going on is not bad, the gameplay jsut drags on too much.    … Expand

    It was a worthwhile dig, but it just isn't a patch on genre leaders. [May 2009, p.64]

    Its arcadey addictiveness and cinematic style successfully lands it in a sweet spot right between those two genres, taking players for a ride that's totally on par with the summer movie excitement it emulates.
  3. Game Informer

    Wheelman has enough explosive thrills that you’ll be yelling and laughing the whole time.
