It's flawed but still a lot of fun

User Rating: 7.5 | Wheelman PS3

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 ridiculuos barrel roll followed by an over the top explosion! This is what makes Wheelman stand out a bit more. There is also on foot missions that are mediocre but not awful as gamespot insists. 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 PS2.

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. Don't pay more than 30 for it.
