Vin Diesel: Wheelman

[Aus_Karlos]

Wheelman, now at first glance i thought it was going to be a GTA flick. It might still be, but watching a few trailers it reminds of a game called Stuntman.
Now im a great fan on Vin Diesel but at late he hasn't been in the best of movies (I think), so owning most of his movies i say why not get this game.

About the Game

Combining spectacular Hollywood-style stunts with a gripping storyline, Wheelman provides an adrenaline-fueled, cinematic thrill ride guaranteed to leave you breathless. Vin Diesel stars as an undercover agent and highly skilled driver who must infiltrate the Barcelona underworld to gather intelligence surrounding a covert heist. Posing as a driver-for-hire, he ends up caught in a crossfire of corruption and chaos while trying to stay one step ahead of local law enforcement and rival gangs.

VIN DIESEL IS THE WHEELMAN: Action film megastar Vin Diesel and his Tigon Studios are again blurring the lines between entertainment mediums, this time collaborating with Midway in the design and production of Wheelman to ensure an edge-of-your-seat gaming experience. Diesel’s voice and likeness will appear as the game’s main character, expert Wheelman Milo Burik.

THE ULTIMATE THRILL RIDE: Designed to play like a Hollywood blockbuster, Wheelman delivers all the rubber-burning, asphalt-churning excitement of the most jaw-dropping high-speed car chases.

OPEN WORLD DRIVING: Go where you want, do what you want, however you want. Choose your own route through the living, breathing city of Barcelona as you complete more than 30 missions and 100 side-missions, or simply drive around and take in the breathtaking Spanish architecture as you seek out all the game’s hidden cinematic jumps and golden lion statues.

REVOLUTIONARY CAR COMBAT: Sideswipe pursuing enemies with Wheelman’s ground-breaking Vehicle Melee car combat. Execute devastating “slam-n-ram” maneuvers in all directions with a simple flick of the joystick. But be careful, because your enemies can do the same. Once you experience Wheelman’s Vehicle Melee, you'll never want to play another driving game without it!

MAXIMUM MOBILITY: Escape down a narrow alleyway on the back of a tricked-out motorcycle. Drive through an office building to make your getaway. Hop behind the wheel of exclusively licensed vehicles like the Pontiac G8 and Saturn Astra and make your escape in style. Drive it. Trash it. Crash it. You're the Wheelman, it's all up to you.

CINEMATIC SIGNATURE STUNTS: Survive death-defying feats and perform pulse-pounding moves to trigger extreme over-the-top Hollywood-style mobile attack maneuvers including:
Aim Shot: Drive and shoot at the same time while the rest of the world slows to an easy-to-target blur.
The Airjack: Leap from moving car to moving car to take control of a brand new ride.
The 360° Cyclone Spin: Spin around 180° to take out anyone that’s behind you, and then spin back 180° again to resume your route.

HIT THE PAVEMENT: Even the best Wheelman sometimes needs to get out of the vehicle. Take to the Barcelona streets for on-foot action — but make sure to remember your guns.

is there a demo out yet?

[Aus_Karlos]

Nope doesn't look like there will be a demo.

[Jack.Sparrow]

Looks decent :)

[Mcninjaguy]

ohh yea its open world its hard to make a demo for that kind of game.

I had a look at the gameplay trailer and I don't want to buy this game, because I of course will compare it to GTA 4 which has better driving physics, looks ike better story telling and none of random spontaneous exploding

I'll be waiting for Just Cause 2 that looks a lot crazier than this game

[RockmasteR]

Gamespot reviewed the game and gave it a 6.0 score out of 10 for the X360 and PS3 and it's a demanding game (needs a Geforce 7800 GT as min requirements) so I presume that you can't tweak the video options a lot (just like GTA IV or Prince of Persia), so the game joins the Beauty over Gameplay club!
I'll Pass

except GTA 4 has a really physics engine and is a beautiful game to behold.

I thought the new Prince of Persia was nice and better than its predessecors but not so much for combat
