Wheelman Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wheelman is a bit of an enigma.Usually when games are bad, they're just BAD, not so bad they're good, as films often are.It's hard to enjoy something that one could label as bad, as far as games go.

Yes, Wheelman has bad acting, bad dialog, weird mission structures, ugly faces on every character outside of Vin Diesel, but its also a lot of FUN.And when it comes down to it, the fun factor is the number one reason a game is worth your valuable gaming time or not.Wheelman is a ton of fun.

It's got ramps and destructible objects littered all over a massive cityscape.It's also got a ton of side missions that offer a lot of replay value.It's got your standard street races, but here you have a pistol that targets the 'tyres' of your opponents, and you can physically ram or dodge with your vehicle by moving the right stick.It's got slow-motion shooting events, while you're still driving your vehicle.You can play 'hot potato' and try to grab as many cases as possible and return them 'home' in a limited amount of time.Sounds boring, but when some of the cases are located on the second story of buildings and you have to find a ramp to get to them, you have a great arcade mode that begs for a leaderboard companion.

It's also got a rampage mode (destroy everything before the time runs out), taxi mode, and several others.The story mode is nothing special, but its still fun to progress through.And the better you do on your missions, the more upgrades you can unlock.

The game threw in a ton of great little gameplay elements that street racers have been missing.You're not just a faceless driver a la the Burnout series.You have a character that develops and builds street cred along the way.

That said, the on-foot segments are pretty stale.Just run and gun.Nothing special.

Another point to mention is the 'T' rating.Wheelman doesn't have the aggressive language, gory violence or sexual content that many other crime-based sandbox games (a la GTA and Saints Row) flaunt.That makes it fun for teens or even preteens.If you try to gun down a civilian or police officer, your bullets only push them away or hinder their movement.No bloody deaths.No deaths at all with the exception of other criminals.

It doesn't try to be everything to everyone.No boring dating sims.No complex sniping missions.Just vehicle focused mayhem.Great game, a lot of fun.
