Basically, as Milo, your role is to try and get in close with the various mob factions in the city before taking them down. However, once you actually get behind the wheel and take on a few missions you will start to see where the appeal behind this game truly lies as frankly, it is just flat out enjoyable.

With the flat and confusing story, plus the hit and miss graphics, it would appear that the game is due to sink without a trace. Once you are out of a car the game dips significantly too as the camera becomes extremely unresponsive and Vin moves awkwardly as if his on foot animations were thrown in at the last minute. The characters all look fairly decent but obviously most of the love has been lavished upon Vin himself, which makes everyone else seem a bit under par in comparison. There is nothing better than driving around with one door missing, as the ladies love that kind of thing (warning: this may not be true). All of the vehicles on offer look pretty nice too, especially once they start to get a bit beaten up.
You cannot go inside most of the building or interact with anything, in fact, it just seems like it was chosen to act as a pretty vista for the over the top action. The city itself is pretty nice to look at but is far too static to be that impressive. It makes you wonder what happened to his film career really, as he is on top form here. At least the leading man has some suitable gruff and humorous dialogue and he really brings the whole thing to life. Suffice it to say, it is all just one big excuse for some hectic car chases and shoot outs with Barcelona itself providing a nice looking backdrop. If you are asking yourself why the hell he would be part of the CIA or why they would be interested in Barcelona – I have no idea, and the game never really explains it either. The story, such as it is, sees our man Vin take on the role of Milo (oh dear, oh dear) an undercover operative sent to take down some local gang in Barcelona by the CIA.

It seems Vin can no longer command big movie salaries.
It never strives to be the greatest thing since sliced bread and just concentrates on offering up some solid fun. The emphasis here is firmly on the driving side of things (please do not message me to say ‘well it is called Wheelman – duh’) and the game is all the better for it.

In fact, if anything, this game bears more of a likeness with Driver – a game that came out of nowhere back in the day to enchant people with its high octane car chases. In fairness to Midway and Tigon Studios, who developed the game, I do not think for one second that they were ever trying to take a shot at the throne currently occupied by GTA. After all, how many top quality games featuring criminals, on foot combat, side missions and car chases can you think of?. For those of you thinking it has been a long time coming (remember the hidden trailer in a secret room during Stranglehold?) then you would be right, but here is hoping that it was worth the wait. With the critically acclaimed Riddick title already in his locker, it seems that Vin has gone down a more out and out action orientated route this time around. If you find bald headed men with gravely voices sexy then do I have a treat for you (I am not describing myself by the way), as the latest console project featuring the bizarrely named Vin Diesel is ready to hit our screens.
