ZTGD Review: Wheelman

Professor Chaos writes: So what should you take away from this review? Well Wheelman is a good game, with a bit more polish it might have been a great one. Having some good dialogue, a great soundtrack, and pretty cool premise helps distract from the pop-in that comes up every once in a while. You may also notice longer than average load times, I found that this is fixed by installing the game. So if you are a fan of crazy car stunts, action packed car chases, or just a fan of Vin Diesel you should definitely check out Wheelman.

Pros
+ Crazy Action
+ Awesome car chases
Cons
- Pop-in can be distracting
- On foot action needed some fine tuning

This is a joke right?!, movies as good as pulp fiction and the matrix score an 8.5, games like Saints Row 2 and Far Cry 2 score 8.5. I know some sources are getting generous with game reviews. Gaming journalism on a whole is on a downfall nowadays and games are sometimes scoring as high as 1.5 points over what they maybe should be but this is freakin' insane.

Montrealien5501d ago (Edited 5501d ago )

Sorry but that made no sense.

The online gaming community on a whole is on a downfall, because people make to much out of .5 and scores in general. Its all Subjective! 8.5 is a great score because it seems Professor Chaos thought it was a great game, you might not agree and think is is a bad game, the end.

And by the way, Pulp fiction is an 18 out of 10! Why? because I think so!

lh_swe5488d ago

There has to be some sort of consitancy in the reviews otherwise where are the standards to judge a game by?

Professor Chaos5501d ago

What do you think this game deserves, and why?

lh_swe5473d ago

because it was mediocre in every way,yet had its fair share of fun moments.

Elven65501d ago

Great review for a kick ass game!

Skynetone5501d ago

is the reason i woundnt even consider buying it,

lazy programmers strike again

Elven65501d ago

....seriously?!?!??!??! The game is third person for crying out loud, when your in a truck it even gives you a incar view!

Skynetone5501d ago

when your in a truck it even gives you a incar view

i dont mean to be rude, but you can do better then that

Montrealien5501d ago

gameplay wise I think an in car view would take away some of the mechanics of the car combat, or make it hard for no reason. It was a valid design decision imho.

and when you don't mean to be rude, you usually mean to be rude.

Elven65501d ago

Well you obviusly seem to have some talent with you and I assume you are working on a game that will have said mechanics?

Montrealien: True, in Wheelman they do give you a incar view but not the kind you would expect, think of it like a 3rd person camera for your character.

Ranking every game with Vin Diesel from worst to best

From Xfire: "Video game enthusiast and Hollywood superstar, Vin Diesel, has taken his talents to video games numerous times. We've decided to rank all of his games from the worst to the best."

“Ranking every game with Vin Diesel from terrible to bad”

Fixed the title for you.

Venoxn4g1023d ago

Yes it is..such a great game

bunt-custardly1023d ago

Obviously too young or ill-informed to pass judgement. Honestly, Orchard. You just mugged yourself off. Starbreeze Studios' The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is a very well-known classic.

rlow11023d ago

Butcher Bay was great. From the prolog, fist fighting, knife fights and story. The immersion of the whole package really uped the criteria of what a cutting edge game was back then. I would like another adventure with Riddick, but it would have to be triple A status to live up to Butcher Bay.

shaenoide1023d ago

You can't you. There isn't any good game :p

boing11023d ago

Butcher's Bay, man. A classic. One of the few games I finished in one sitting.

MenStuff: "OK, it’s hard to actually recommend many celebrity-endorsed games. They don’t exactly live up to the triple-A standard as some of the big blockbuster movies the actors star in, but there are a few that made for a fun adventure and deserve a shout-out."

I'd like to see another Tenchu, I miss that series

Lord_Sloth3848d ago

COMPLETELY agree. Got a 360 just for Z.

Krimmson3848d ago

Remember everyone, Sega thought it was a better idea to invest in Aliens: Colonial Marines than Shenmue 3.

ScubbaSteve3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

I never played the Shenmue games, but I've always wanted another Valkeria Chronicles on a main console. So I'd be happy to lend you all my pitchfork when you rise up against Sega.

Lord_Sloth3848d ago

And accidentally invest in Borderlands 1 and 2 at the same time. XXXD

Sam Fisher3848d ago

Im glad im not the only person that liked otogi and part 2
