Vin Diesel: Wheelman

Honestly, people are saying the graphics are good... seriously? It looks more past gen then next gen. Plus everything is so bland - just flat open roads surrounded by repeated buildings. Which part of Barcelona is this supposed to be with so many empty streets as well?

As for the gameplay, well, if you like your vehicles without any form of accurate handling then this is the game for you. The on foot shooting sections are okay but as it's called Wheelman I didn't expect to have to do so many of them. Then again, every driving section seemed to amount to 'go to A, pick up B, drive back to C... and here comes the countless bad guys all spraying thousands of bullets at you'. The build for each mission might've been different, but they just became the same boring drive/ram/shoot moments. Plus, how come every vehicle was always faster then the Wheelmans? Even if you had the same vehicle as the enemy. Never any chance of out running anyone, just shoot or ram them... until the next… more »

Also, it's clear Vin and the rest of the cast weren't really that bothered as the acting is terrible. Also they could've at least matched the script to the game action. I recall an ending line "the streets are so busy" - yet the streets are empty, as always. Also, I may not have been paying attention but I found the whole storyline confusing. It just didn't make sense - here's a driver working for every criminal gang and everyone seems okay with that, screw loyalty and the fact he's killing gang members left and right.

There are some good parts - such as the Air-Jack to steal other cars, and some of the side missions are interesting, but as with the main game, it just gets all too repetitive.

There's better driving games out there, and better open world city crime games out there, so why buy this one? Honestly the people who made this should feel ashamed as it's clear no play testing was involved. And if they can't be bothered to play their own game, then why should anyone else.
