Before The Wheelman movie we must know something about The Wheelman game so bellow we have a great review:
Given that 70% of the Wheelman game will be spent at the wheel of cars, attention was placed on "handling" them. The control is responsive, high-speed curves can be performed with ease using the hand brake or Drift. Like the mechanics of GTA IV, here the opportunity to meet and shooting at the car wheel. Can I say something that is easier to use, benefiting from a self-aim with which we can get rid of enemies and be careful and traffic. Tires, engine or even passenger cars can rival such targeting and eliminated fairly easily. A highly innovative mechanical and used a lot - until it becomes monotonous - is "My Vehicle". Moving the analog stick gamepad's right, the player's car is struck by vehicles rivals, that the most effective way to eliminate them. Another mechanic who abuse the game's "Jack Air", in which Milo jumps out and "borrow" another machine on the fly. The first twenty, thirty times in action when we see this move may seem extraordinary, but the monotony is installed quickly if abused.
The game Wheelman has a focus meter that is loaded when sofam dangerous. With its help we can get a speed boost to drive any vehicle at the time, or can execute one of the two movements of the game. It is aimed Shot (1st person behind the wheel of a car a pistol in hand, in a sort of bullet time) or Cyclone (as if aimed shot, just that the car turns 180 degrees and continue the road with Milo discards behind as chasers).
The remaining 30% of the Wheelman gameplay takes place in intense shooting scenes where the game turns into a 3rd person shooter. We have a mechanical auto-aim, and free aim, which lowers the difficulty level of the game. No weapons are not out of the molds, the classic Uzi, AK47, Machine Gun and Shotgun making their appearance. Shooting is not the strong point of the Wheelman game and the lack of cover decreases little mechanical experience.
The game Wheelman is at very high speeds and during missions rarely have moments of silence. Main story missions that advance are few in number. They may be taken to end in 6-7 hours maximum and the driving sections are full and "fight the wheel." There is also a huge number of side quests, which vary from street racing without rules, taxi missions, missions of destruction or simply running against time from a checkpoint to another. Even if they are numerous, after two or three missions the same way, boredom is installed. Not need to run all over town after them, either primary or secondary missions can be accessed directly from the GPS menu by pressing the Back / Select the gamepad.
I finally left for the sound which is clearly not the strong point of the game Wheelman . Even Vin Diesel's voice in Wheelman is not at its previous provision. Are generally stereotypical voices. Inside the car there and a few radio stations with songs that ignored and often do not notice them because of the action in this Wheelman game.
There is nothing wrong with Wheelman, at a fundamental level all its parts work perfectly, but the lack of diversity, a story drawn from hair that becomes tiresome repetition maximum and not at all convinced me. We must recognize that it is a miracle that the game Wheelman arrived in stores, by calling Midway Ubisoft to deliver the final product.
That's all about the game Wheelman now I can't wait to see the movie.
