Wheelman Video Game Review HQ

Publisher: Ubisoft, Midway Games Release Date: March 27, 2009 Genre: Action-Adventure, Driving, Sandbox Wheelman is an upcoming driving game developed by Midway Studios Newcastle and published by Ubisoft and Midway Games for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The Good: - Slo-mo gunplay can be exciting - Great cinematic chase music - Finely tuned driving controls - Easy to jump between mission The Bad: - Terrible on-foot controls - Cliched script and dialogue - Short story length - Static environments limit the 'open world' appeal - No multiplayer Ever since it was announced as both a movie and video game, Hollywood's influence on Wheelman has been clear. The game certainly panders to action game fans, finally answering the question, "What would it be like to spin a motorcycle onto its front wheel and shoot a truck in slow motion?" While the driving is fun and exciting, the on-foot sections are terrible, mired by poor control and weak enemy AI. These weaknesses prevent Wheelman from reaching its potential, and the uneven 6-8 hour campaign leaves you wanting more good content once the game wraps up. Please comment, rate and subscribe!
