IGN: Wheelman Review

IGN writes: "I don't think my expectations were too high for Wheelman. As a man who enjoys the occasional crappy action film, I came into Wheelman expecting cheesy Vin Diesel dialogue, an unbelievable story and lots of explosions. What I got was a whole lot more -- and not much of it was good. Sure, there's an abundance of cheesy Vin Diesel dialogue and fiery moments, but there's also the complete lack of story, mentally handicapped enemies, a repetitive city and some lame missions.

In short, this is not an interactive The Fast and The Furious. That saddens me."

Well no surprise here after playing the demo, i was left wondering if this game was some really bad last gen game.

KKanjiAnkh5516d ago (Edited 5516d ago )

I just played the full version for about 2hrs, and this score is spot on, and should be worse.

It wants to be, some of the worst, ideas implemented into the core design of this game.

Stranglehold
Pursuit Force
Mercenaries
GTA

Just cause it's an action game, gives it no excuse, for the poor characters, music, city design, script, & dialogue, and much more, this game is a steaming pile, of Triceratops dung.

the Unreal Engine is garbage.

phosphor1125516d ago

The controls could have been better, and its not the best looking game but it plays well.

It had a lot of action and destruction. Also lots of neat moves like the Cyclone and such. I don't see how this got such a low score, especially since everyone else gave it MUCH better reviews. GameInformer, GamePro, and VideoGamer all gave it 80 and above (out of 100).

I knew this game was going to get bad reviews right after I started to play the demo. All that car jumping and car spinning is just so gimicky and overdone.

You to this sh1t hole or something? Funny "arguments" inhere btw.

get2sammyb5516d ago

The game is nowhere near this bad at all.

DelbertGrady5516d ago

Imo it's much more worthy of $60 than Wanted: Weapons of Fate, which is a scam. I've played the retail versions of both and The Wheelman is a solid 7/10.

Major_Tom5516d ago (Edited 5516d ago )

Well this is merely his opinion, I share the same one. I thought it was a bad, bad, bad game.

Elven65516d ago

I agree, its worth at least a 7, I've never really agreed with Greg Miller's reviews, this just reminds me of it.

nix5516d ago

4/10 was what i have been saying. IGN was gracious enough.

Ranking every game with Vin Diesel from worst to best

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.

Venoxn4g1030d ago

Yes it is..such a great game

bunt-custardly1030d ago

Obviously too young or ill-informed to pass judgement. Honestly, Orchard. You just mugged yourself off. Starbreeze Studios' The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is a very well-known classic.

rlow11030d ago

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.

shaenoide1030d ago

You can't you. There isn't any good game :p

boing11030d ago

Butcher's Bay, man. A classic. One of the few games I finished in one sitting.

5 Best Games Featuring Celebrities

MenStuff: "OK, it’s hard to actually recommend many celebrity-endorsed games. They don’t exactly live up to the triple-A standard as some of the big blockbuster movies the actors star in, but there are a few that made for a fun adventure and deserve a shout-out."

I'd like to see another Tenchu, I miss that series

Lord_Sloth3855d ago

COMPLETELY agree. Got a 360 just for Z.

Krimmson3855d ago

Remember everyone, Sega thought it was a better idea to invest in Aliens: Colonial Marines than Shenmue 3.

ScubbaSteve3855d ago (Edited 3855d ago )

I never played the Shenmue games, but I've always wanted another Valkeria Chronicles on a main console. So I'd be happy to lend you all my pitchfork when you rise up against Sega.

Lord_Sloth3855d ago

And accidentally invest in Borderlands 1 and 2 at the same time. XXXD

Sam Fisher3855d ago

Im glad im not the only person that liked otogi and part 2
