Didnt expect this game to be so fun. Ill go through some pros and cons of the game.
Pros:

Very Nice Graphics, much better than the Saints Row game series.

Great Storyline.

Open world envirnment.

Hours of fun, dosent get old fast because of the endless side missions.

AIRJACKING, this is the #1 pro for this game, it is and awesome feature that should be in all open world games.

Controls are very smooth and easy... no interface problems works great.


Cons

Cant kill people on the streets, cant kill cops. If you shoot a cop he will spin around and start shooting at you again. You can blow up their cars but they'll just stand up like that didnt hurt them. You can only kill gang members and you can only find gang members during a mission. If you shoot a person on the street you will instantly get 3-4 stars and the person wont even be affected by it. Gunplay is not the games strongpoint.

To familiar, it features a star system just like gta determined by what youve done you will get a certain amount of stars then you will get cops after you who you cant kill. If you get more than 3 stars its impossible to get away from the cops.

The Game does have great graphics but vin diseal looks like a patato he was not rendered good.

overall it gets a 4 out of 5 stars because gta and saints row are funner.

I am an avid gamer. I watched/read some reviews on Wheelman and found out it was supposed to be Ok. I held off purchasing until I downloaded a demo from PSN, and I loved it! I played it through 3 times. The graphics are great and the gameplay style is well put together. Personally, I find the voice acting amazing and even though the story is confusing it is definitely intriguing. The gameplay style is open world and GTA like but don't take that the wrong way, this game is nothing like GTA (violence, etc.). I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who wants a unique gaming experience.

I don't understand the other reviews.. This game is a pretty fun one.. I really had a good time playing this.. Graphs and story are not perfect, but ok.. You will find lots of missings if you compare with GTA IV (like not so many cars, not too long playability, not so realistic etc), but this comparison is unnecessary. I believe the game makers could have made the game more realistic like GTA, but they decided to choose to be more on the fun side and less on the reality.. Overall, all games are intended for fun...

Wheelman is far from perfect but it can still be a lot of fun. It's almost like Driver meets Hulk. You go around in Barcelona doing missions, racing, destroying the city, and this is surprisingly fun because of the ability to smash into things using the right joystick. But no, you don't just hit the cars and they crash into a wall, there is a ridiculous barrel roll followed by an over the top explosion! This is what makes Wheelman stand out a bit more. There are also on foot missions that are mediocre but not unplayable. The good news is that there really aren't very many of these missions.

The graphics vary from good to bad. The city itself looks quite good but the people look terrible. I almost thought I was playing a Playstation 2 game at times.

At the end of the day I would say this game is worth it if you're a fan of arcade style racing, over the top explosions, and you can get it for the right price. $20 is worth it.

i think this game is awesome this game creates enough explosion and enough challenge to leave you wanting more and the amazing stuff that you have to go through will leave u amazed and the crews that you have to battle are well made and very well hated and you have to watch your back in this game because you cant trust anybody in this game.

with this game we have a lot of fun and you never get bored with htis game.

The action and graphics were amazing. It made you feel like you were there. Very realistic.

This game has more to it than most racing games as in you can actually do more that just drive around. The side missions are fun and not repetitive, you can get out of the car for alot of the missions in a 3rd person shoot out mode.

Both my sons have been talking about this game for awhile. My younger son got a playstation 3 and this game for chistmas and both my sons have played it quit a bit. Would reccomend.

Ok this game is with out a doubt exactly what you expect from a hollywood action movie. Is it GTA4? No, but I tell you what some of the missions in this game are crazy fun. From the tractor trailer heist to the fight at the end you will feel like a wheelman. Is that to say the game is perfect? No. There are some questionable physics and the fact that the npc's soak up more bullets than a bullet proof vest at times but don't let that discourage you from having fun blowing away cop cars, making insane jumps,airjacking helpless drivers and pulling off some of the most spectacular cinamatic driving I have ever seen.
