IncGamers' Tim McDonald looks at the newest driving offering from Ubisoft.
"Vin takes the role of Milo Burik, an undercover CIA agent who's sent in to Barcelona to recover some documents, as the information within could kill thousands. Before long, he's working his way up through the three gangs that rule the city, and playing them off against each other to get what he needs."
From Xfire: "Video game enthusiast and Hollywood superstar, Vin Diesel, has taken his talents to video games numerous times. We've decided to rank all of his games from the worst to the best."
“Ranking every game with Vin Diesel from terrible to bad”
Fixed the title for you.
Butcher Bay was great. From the prolog, fist fighting, knife fights and story. The immersion of the whole package really uped the criteria of what a cutting edge game was back then. I would like another adventure with Riddick, but it would have to be triple A status to live up to Butcher Bay.
In this episode of InRetroSpect RAW, Dan, Pete & Kris argue over which games demand a sequel. Hear Pete confuse us with Prince of Persia timelines, Kris drops the ball with an unprecedented late swap and find out which game makes Dan threaten to leave if it isn’t included.
Remember everyone, Sega thought it was a better idea to invest in Aliens: Colonial Marines than Shenmue 3.
Game Informer - When Wheelman was announced back in 2006, the project was full of promise. It had big star Vin Diesel attached along with his boutique development house Tigon Studios (which also worked on the great The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay). It was tied to a film of the same name and the stories would weave together. Over the years to its 2009 release, however, publisher Midway's financial problems kept getting worse, and the film counterpart never got off the ground (much like Midway's failed attempt to tie a movie to 2006 game Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run). Out of all the turmoil, primary developer Midway Studios - Newcastle somehow managed to turn in a fun popcorn flick of a driving game with ridiculous, yet exciting Hollywood-style action around every turn.
Not a bad score at all for this game.
That's a pretty decent score. Is it like a GTA clone?
Vin Diesel is a nice enough bloke from what you read.
7.7 is high enough score to like it though!
Seems like an okay game. Might be fun to go through those bonus missions with a mate and a bit of booze :)
4/10
