Wheelman (video game)

Wheelman is an open-world action driving video game developed by Midway Studios Newcastle and published by Ubisoft. It was released in March 2009 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows.

The game stars Vin Diesel as Milo Burik, an undercover agent and expert driver working in Barcelona. The storyline revolves around Milo infiltrating various criminal gangs, including the Chulos, Los Lamentos, and the Barcelona Triad, in order to gather intelligence and ultimately bring them down.

Gameplay in Wheelman focuses heavily on driving and vehicular combat. Players can engage in high-speed chases, perform stunts, and utilize vehicular combat maneuvers such as the "Vehicle Melee" and "Cyclone." The game also features on-foot combat sections, allowing players to engage in gunfights and melee combat.

A key gameplay element is the "Focus" ability, which allows Milo to slow down time, perform precision driving maneuvers, and execute special takedown moves. The game world of Barcelona is a sprawling open environment that players can freely explore, completing missions and side activities. The narrative unfolds through a series of main story missions and numerous side missions that contribute to Milo's progress and unlock new abilities and vehicles. The game also includes a destructible environment, allowing players to cause significant damage to buildings and other structures.
