OXCGN reviewer David Hilton throws the game around and see what comes up. Does it run on good tyres or bald . . ?

The review is detailed and well worth the read. Full of images and information, so slip on over and check it out if you're on the fence about the game.

New model. Original Parts.
That’s the tag line for Vin Diesel’s sequel film Fast & Furious, currently on film screens at the same time as his driving video game Wheelman has been released. And, strangely enough, the tag line applies to the game as much as the film.

You see Vin Diesel’s Wheelman may be a new game from his very own studio Tigon, but it uses parts from original best sellers of the various driving genres like Burnout, Driver, and the GTAs. The question is if Wheelman has got good tread to compete with big hitters GTAIV and Saint’s Row, or does it run on crappy bald tires (spelt “tyres” here in Oz)?

Tigon Studios have been touting Wheelman as the cinematic video game equivalent of action films like Ronan, with Vin Diesel’s undercover agent persona being involved in many crashtacular ’scenes’. This is presumably to show how it is different to typical free-roaming driving games that involve either just street racing or a bunch of usually un-cinematic missions.
