Excerpt: Gamers have been breaking the sound barrier with Sonic the Hedgehog for 20 years now since the debut of his classic game back in 1991 on the Genesis/Mega Drive.
Pros: Graphics are good, Modern Sonic's levels are great, 100+ missions to play through
Cons: Main campaign is a bit too short, story is unoriginal and lacklustre, the more modern levels don't translate as well for Classic Sonic.
Excerpt: Given Midway's heavily publicised financial problems and Wheelman's late shift to publisher Ubisoft, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a game to avoid.
Pros: Brilliant in-car action, Looks pretty great, Loads of things to do
Summary: " Wheelman " is a really great concept that has been let down quite badly by some obvious budget cuts. The face that there are only 2 licensed cars means that they stand...
Excerpt: The recent releases of Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena and Wheelman have resulted in a significant increase in my Vin Diesel-related reviews.
Conclusion: VideoGamer - 80 Fun can be found in the simplest of things, and Wheelman nails car combat to the extent that it carries the whole game on its wheels.
Conclusion: This game is actually a lot of fun while it lasts, but the missions soon begin to blend into one another and the side missions are just not that entertaining.
Conclusion: Quite frankly, we’re as stunned as you are. Just take one look at that box, that exploitable genre, that celebrity-endorsed title; everything about Wheelman screams...
Conclusion: Wheelman isn't going to win any awards at the end of the year, I wouldn't think. But it does the most important thing casual gamers look for, and that's ‘be fun'.
Pros: it's a blockbuster film in a game, riveting driving experience, able voice acting, no shortage of things to do
Cons: pretty awful on-foot gameplay, graphical flaws distract, not much of a challenge
