Originally announced back in the beginning of 2006, things have been quiet on Midway’s front regarding their title, The Wheelman. The company broke its silence last night, showing us the latest, and giving us a hands-on with some of the game’s more interesting gameplay mechanics.
Now simply called Wheelman, the title puts you in the shoes of profession getaway driver Milo Burik (who shares actor Vin Diesel’s voice and likeness), as you tear ass through the streets of a digital recreation of modern Barcelona. With a focus on a cinematic, “ultimate car chase” experience (the team drew inspiration from films such as Ronin, The Bourne Identity, and Vanishing Point), Midway and Vin Diesel’s Tigon Studios are hoping you’ll want to tag along for the ride.
Best described as an odd mix of Burnout 3: Takedown and Grand Theft Auto, Wheelman is set to ship this fall for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Hit the jump for my early impressions of the title and to find out just what in the hell “vehicle melee” is.
