Wheelman is a game that seems right from the start to be a venue to push the (then dying) dead automobile company Pontiac and Vin Diesel, yet in some ways this game stands out on it's own albeit half slumped over. Milo is the main character and most of the dialog can't keep his name straight, often pronounced in both the English (My - Lo) and Spanish (Me - Lo) dialects, yet this isn't the only flaw in this game, oh not by a long shot. You can either cruise around or you can chose to take missions, free roaming the city is enjoyable for a little while until you've been everywhere and driven every car.

The story missions are simple and are infact quite easy to accomplish given a little time to understand your mission, which most times is up to you to figure that out mostly through mission failures. The story missions are the same standard fair as most games with free-roaming open city layouts. You drive and do things, yet in Wheelman they have added the ability to melee with the car! This becomes quite useful and fun for a short while.

Now lets get to the major issues, Wheelman has many many bugs and glitches that drag the quality of this game down. Sometimes you might find yourself jumping from a blazing car to avoid being trapped inside as it explodes, you may then find yourself stuck to the ground in a snow angel's position where all you can do is spin Milo around like the Wheel of Fortune! Sometimes the game will pause for a little while and lock up, or maybe it will return, who knows! You may find yourself doing some missions blindly in confusion and sometimes you may not.

It can not be overstated how easy Achievements and other things within this game can be unlocked. Overall Wheelman is extremely buggy, even more so easy but yet it isn't completely a loss!
