Wheelman featuring Vin Diesel

StarJet | April 20, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3 
The latest driving game to be published by Midway, Wheelman, will hit the PS3, XBOX360 and PC this fall. Developed by Tigon Studios which is founded by Vin Diesel and featuring Vin Diesel himself, Wheel man could turn out to be quite a good game if it doesn't turn out to be a GTA rip-off.
Whether its the checkpoint based Midnight Club; the free-for-all Burnout; or the elephant in the room, Grand Theft Auto, open world driving games have an undeniable charm. For those of you who count yourselves among the ranks of gamers who want more than the flat tarmac of the race track, look forward to this fall because Midway is bringing its latest game, Wheelman to the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Developed by the Vin Diesel-founded Tigon Studios and starring Vin Diesel himself, the game is a collage of several vibrant elements, which if combined well, could form an exciting and memorable experience. Furthermore, in an intriguing postmodern twist, the game claims to be inspired by some of Hollywood’s most famous car chases.

    Finally, a release date! Been waiting on this for years! Vin Diesel has proved that his studio can make absolutely stellar games (The Chronicles of Riddick, anyone?) so the expectations for The Wheelman are very high.

      Well, this is not much of a release date, is it?
      Well, I hope this is good on PC just as the 360 and PS3.

        "This fall" is a huge improvement over the "coming soon" we were given in 2006.
