Let's get something out of the way: if you enjoy Vin Diesel movies, I very much doubt that you consider picking up this game for its...cultural value. I for one did not.
This is fast driving, impossibly jumping, using-your-car-as-a-weapon, how-oh-how-can-it-be-exploding kind of game. Fun? You bet!

The graphics are beautiful (similar to NFS:ProStreet but less shiny than Undercover) and the cars acquire (more or less) realistic dents, scrapes and damages when hit. There are objectives marked on the map and cops giving chase. There are beautiful women giving orders, getting double-crossed and relying on your driving skills to drive through everything and see them right. Need I say more?

Keep in mind that with WHEELMAN UBISOFT continues the trend of releasing DRM-free games. So, one can not only greatly enjoy this game but can do so with peace of mind that his computer will come to NO harm.

RECOMMENDED!

This would be a mediocre game for all the hardcore gamers out there. It's pretty fun at first, but after a while you only get to do a few things and it gets boring. Nothing special jumps out of the game, and somehow it just keeps lagging after 1 hour of gameplay. It's definitely not my computer, maybe the cd or something. The only fun part of the game is jumping from a car to another, which is nifty but not after you do it 20 times. All in all, Vin Diesel pretty much is running the show. The gameplay is average, the graphics are mediocre, and the cars are not that cool. Except for the bikes, which is pretty fun.

Well... I had been looking forward to this game for quite some time, being a fan of REAL CARS, and Vin Diesel, and any amount of mindless violence... So it does satisfy those requirements...

BUT...

The game play is lacking any real substance. The physics are nonexistent, Ive seen arcade style games with better vehicle physics than this, I mean it's like all the cars weigh 2 pounds and are made of rubber bands... The game world is basically empty of any signs of life... The graphics are not only last generation, but I would say nintendo64 had better graphics than this. And I am running a quad core 3.0ghz processor, and top of the line RAM, Graphics, and Motherboard... I cannot believe how much of a let down this game was... And this isn't even a made from a movie video game! It is its own game! Usually games this bad are only made to coincide with the release of a related movie.

It is NOT, I repeat, NOT, a sandbox style game like the GTA, DRIVER, or SAINTS ROW series.

Now for Vin Diesels job on this... In all honesty he is normally a very intense actor, but it seems here that he was the only one that even cared, and that even was sub par.

I honestly wish I could get my money back on this... It is obviously a rushed product, or just a really, really, really, really, really, really, bad port job from the PS3 or 360, and nothing as advertised save for Vin Diesel.

Maybe it needs a patch or some downloadable content to fix it, but for now, I'd say wait till it hits the bargin bin price of $9.99

Would you like to know why I rated this game as GARBAGE ?

Its not for the graphics or anything like that,in fact I don't even know how the game plays.

Its seems that the developers of this game did one of the most dumbest things and that making the game so that you cannot...here me out...YOU CANNOT CONFIGURE THE DRIVING CONTROLS.

It only gives to 2 configurations that are preset and thats it so if you like driving a game while trying to look down and trying to hit the right keys while playing the game then go ahead and buy it.

Out of the dozens of driving games that I own ,every single one of them allows you to set up your keyboard the way you like and most player will set up the UP,DOWN,LEFT & RIGHT Cursor Keys for driving but you can't do it in this game so hats off to the company idiots that made this title and allowed the short fat dumpy donut crumb crusted dimwit who signed off on the idea of not allowing us to customize the driving controls.

when will i get my DVD it's been years now when will i get it? or can i have my money back
i have got a lot of order that i have to full fill but recent weeks when i checked i did not get my dvd nor my refund on the amazon

Wheelman is the best video game I have ever played. It has all the fun of a racing game, with all the craziness of a shooting game.

I first had skeptisism that this game might have viruses that could damage my computer. IT DOESN'T!!!! It did not damage my computer in any way, neither did Wheelman slow it down.

Wheelman works fine on a nvidia 8600 GTS graphics card, and 2 gigs of memory.

I would highly recommend this game for everyone (especially those who didn't want to buy grand theft auto 4 because of its violence, viruses and the M rating).

Outrageous game!!!
