Wheelman Demo - I think it ROCKS!

I totally love the Wheelman Demo!

If you haven't tried it yet.. what are you waiting for? go get it and give it a go! It is the most fun I have had playing a new car game for a long time! I was sat on the edge of my seat with a huge smile on my face!

The game seems to make use of every button on the control pad. It has a very cinematic feel, with the music adding to the tension of the chase. And the spanish vibe gives it a very summery feel, just what we need after a long winter!

You use the Right Stick to slam your car into your opponents, sending them into walls, or up into the air in great balls of fire as the drivers fly out like rag dolls. The D-pad is also used for special gun attacks. I normally get confused if there are too many controls, but I think Wheelman has got the balance just right with adequate on screen instruction and prompting to make it feel very intuitive.

There doesn't seem to be any option for in-car view, but I think this would detract from the cinematic experience. I really enjoyed watching Xandu play, so although there is no online play, it doesn't have to be a solitary experience!

I'm looking forward to getting the full game, it might just be a game I finish!
