The Wheelman

[Wayne]

I saw a video of this game yesterday on PlayR and it looked amazing. The graphics look great and the things you could do looked great too. It's out for PS3, Xbox360 and PC on February 16th.



Premise
The protagonist, Milo Burik (a digitized Vin Diesel), is a driver who comes out of his retirement to save a woman from his past which leads him to Barcelona, Spain, and right into the middle of a gang war.

Gameplay
The game is set in an open ended world modeled after Barcelona, full of destructable objects, alleyways, shortcuts through office blocks and a total of 31 story missions and 105 side missions. While most missions are driving-oriented there are also foot missions which are played from a third person and incorporated a cover system similar to the one used in Gears of War.

Online will suck if its TDM It will be like gta4/saints row 2

[Ashley 12344]

Looks ok apart from the screenshot on the motorbike, don't like the graphics on that one.

Not sure if I'll buy it, but if I buy any games next month I think it'll be that.

I gotta agree there It looks like its bad graphics there

[Ashley 12344]

Is it just me or do the graphics actually look quite bad on the trailer? The car looks as if its on ice half of the time.

From the picture of the time trial bike race I can tell I won't like it much. But does still look good.
