Combining spectacular Hollywood-style stunts with a gripping storyline, Wheelman provides an adrenaline-fueled, cinematic thrill ride.

If you pick up the controller in the middle of Midway's upcoming Vin Diesel-starring action game, Wheelman, without familiarizing yourself with the game's features and controls, you might think the game is too difficult for its own good. But if you spend some time with the game's tutorial missions, and get a healthy dose of practice and experimentation, you'll come to appreciate the depth of the controls, as well as the sheer amount of vehicular mayhem you can create in this open-world driving game from the developers at Midway Newcastle.

This week, Midway dropped by our office to show off the latest build of the game and to show off the different moves available to the titular hero and the cars he drives. Though Wheelman will have on-foot missions You play as Milo Burik in the game, an undercover agent who is sent to Barcelona and eventually finds himself involved in a power struggle between three powerful gangs that run the city.

As Burik, you'll need to earn the trust of each of the gangs as you infiltrate their ranks, taking jobs as they come and eventually working your way to the bosses that run the criminal activities.

We got a chance to see a few missions in the game--the first was a tutorial mission, where you have to steal three cars for a friend in a certain amount of time. The catch? The three cars are being driven at the time. The mission essentially acts as a tutorial for one of several special moves Milo has available to him--the air jack. To pull it off, you simply drive up behind the car of your choice, then hold down the B button on the Xbox controller.

A red target icon will appear over the car when you're approaching it, and when it turns green, you let go of the B button and Milo will leap out of his current vehicle and into the new ride. With three cars to steal in this particular mission, it isn't long before you get used to the air-jacking feature.

The developers intend for the player to consider vehicles as dispoable in the game; you'll constantly switch between rides as you make your way around the city. Cars do take damage in Wheelman--often in spectacular fashion--so making it easy to switch from car to car, even while in motion, reinforces the idea of always keeping a fresh set of wheels under you.

A motorcycle is pure suicide, and the tiny cars do not work either. For the third part of the mission, stick to mid-size cars, and just gun the vans — meaning get close to them and take out their tyres and then shoot up their gas tanks.

Do not bother trying to melee them, you lack the weight to do it right. Shoot and keep shooting until you take out the two vans you are required to take out, at which point you get a cell phone call telling you to jack a van and go to the paper's offices.

Obviously jack the first yellow target van you can get to — it does not matter how much damage it takes on the way to the paper, just get there as fast as you can — get the CS of you pulling up to the gates and the gates opening, and then barrel up the stairs and through the editorial offices towards the green glow spot in the actual editor's office.

Once you reach that you get a nice CS of you ejecting from the building and a grateful call from the man FtW! You get a 20GP achievement for this key mission, and better still, you have now unlocked the northern section of Barcelona that was previously not accessible to you! Unlocking the northern section also enables a lot more side-quests, and of course you get the chance to read the agency dossier on Radu Negrea, so bonus and kudos to you!

Now would be the time to start seriously doing the side-quests, because the missions from here on in are just going to get harder, and having your car amped up and access to garages, guns, and extras is a big plus! This mission may be a bit on the frustrating side for most players It requires patience and a sort of reckless disregard for physics and burning cars.

Seriously, you need to shoot your way into the area, killing pretty much everyone on the way in without dying yourself. Head for the occupied structure in the center on the right side as you enter, kill the guys there and go up the ramp.

When you walk out onto the platform to the glow spot, you get a CS as the Romanians come in in their cars, and Radu gets the tube. You now need to jump down to the ground, avoid being killed, and get to the silver SUV. Get behind the wheel and drive up the ramp in to the covered ring that runs along the inside of the arena, there to do battle with the cars and motorcycles patrolling there.

Basically you need to destroy a certain number of them after the timer kicks in. You have five minutes, but you should not really need that much time, even if you are driving a flaming wreck by the time you get the CS in which Radu crashes and is ejected from his car through the windscreen.

He has to be dead, right? You start walking towards the tube when Che zips in on a bike and snags the tube — and now it is part two of this mission — catch Che and recover the document! You are not really meant to catch Che on his bike — in fact he is way faster than you are, and you will be lucky to get close enough to be able to shoot — though he has a HUGE army of biker gunners to mess with you.

Just try to drive, don't worry about the rest Stick on Che's back, take out his wingmen as needed, and follow him. Eventually he rides down into a metro station — follow him, then race after him along the tracks, being careful not to get derfed yourself, until he makes a bad jump and loses his bike in a nice explosion. After a CS where you see he survived and that his army has shown up, you need to fight your way up to the upper level.

Be aware that some of his guys are behind you — so you might want to backtrack and take them out first.

You are facing a lot of enemies, so be careful, and when things go red head for cover that they cannot shoot through! Part 2 Into the Tunnels You fight your way through an army of gang bangers willing to die for Che, who it appears is not willing to fight you at all. Maybe people from Spain are just really loyal to their Dominican Crime Boss?

Anyway, fight your way through the train station, killing everyone, as you go! Wait for it Chase the train.

But wait! Somehow Che's minions KNOW you are chasing a train they don't know he is on, on a motorcycle that they don't know you are on, in a tunnel Well, you get the idea. Several machine gun-armed bikers drop in to add to the challenge — so simply shoot them off of their bikes as you feel the need.

Now that you have caught up with the train try to ride along the side and you are shown a cryptic flash of the knuckle plate the thing that connects the train cars to each other but you are not told what to do about it. What you are supposed to do is shoot it out to separate the car from the train. Okay so you figure it out — you are supposed to shoot the knuckle plate! But oh no's! When you do that the train rockets away like it has Evidently it is supposed to do that, since you get on on-screen message saying that Che will speed up as you drop off cars from the train, so okay, it is supposed to do that.

Be aware that you now have dozens of guys on the train shooting at you, and you have to somehow manage to get between two cars without getting creamed by an oncoming train and at the same time shoot out another knuckle plate when Daa dah dahhh!

A guy in a CAR comes driving up to you and starts shooting. Note I do not mean a train car, I mean a car car! From a strategy point of view here is what you should be doing: 1. Watch for the cars approaching you on the tracks from behind — when they appear, Cyclone and take them out. Do not use boost — you will be able to catch back up to the train without it and you need to be able to trigger Cyclone a lot. When you are going to disconnect the next car, wait until you hear the two ding-dongs and the oncoming train passes before pulling out and speeding up to do the deed.

It is better to keep your distance from the side of Che's train, as you somehow can get pulled into it if you are too close. By now you should have taken out around six motorcycles and four cars, and have removed all of the train cars but the one Che is driving of course. Now carefully ease up the right side of the remaining car and kill the gunman there. Pull back behind the train and after the next oncoming train passes, ease up the left side and kill the gunman there.

Pull back again, wait for the next oncoming train to pass, and then pull beside the front of the the train and kill the gunman in the front with Che. Now you are ready to finish this! Wait behind for the next oncoming train, and as SOON as it passes speed ahead of Che's train by about a hundred feet, get in the center of the tracks his train is on, and Cyclone!

Target Che's head and kill him, it is that easy. You get a gratifying CS and you get to see yourself checking out the plans. I managed to do this in one go, and you should be able to as well as long as you are good with riding a motorcycle. After you complete this mission you should get the achievement The Target Revealed 20GP and the next mission Follow a Wheelman will get marked on your map.

Before you head for that mission, it would be a good idea to close the GPS map and save your game now. It would really suck if your game froze, lost power, or glitches and you lost all that progress, right? The documents found on Che mentioned the upcoming Realital political rally. Note: When you accept this mission you should get the achievement Accidental Tourist.

Felipe has been up to something at the rally — you need to shadow him, and find out where he is heading next. You begin standing near a car — don't wait, get in it because Felipe will pass from right to left on the cross street ahead and you need to get following him so you do not lose him at the start.

Keep him in sight — and when he enters the alley you do not, instead take the road that curves around the alley to the left and pick him up as he exits the other end. Stay with him — but not too close — and if his icon turns yellow, back off and airjack another car. Eventually he will pull into a plaza and change cars — you get a CS. When he leaves follow him, maybe a little closer now because he gets cute with the turns. Eventually he ends up at the Cathedral, and you drive into a green glow spot and get a CS where you follow him inside and interact with him a little.

This was pretty challenging and assuming you did not fail it, not a mission you will want to repeat any time soon, so now would be a good time to save your game. Be on your guard. A short CS shows you that it is a trap — and you are told that Felipe is working with the Romanians! Shoot your way in my friend, and take out that weasels buddies. Okay, you had to see this coming right? You take out all of the Romanians and chase Felipe to the loading docks where he grabs a tanker truck — and so do you!

This is not a real complicated mission — just chase him and shoot until you blow away the fifth wheel and his tanker trailer goes bye bye. After that, take out his wingmen as needed, and try to maneuver so that you have a relatively clear shot at the gas tank on the side of his truck — either side will work, and go into Aimed Shot and target its weak point.

Just rinse and repeat until you blow up his truck and get a CS of his dead weasel corpse in the road. You may as well save now — in fact it would be a good idea to save after every mission from here on, d'accord? This is not really a mission, it is more of a briefing. You tell Gallo what you think, and he tells you the way things are. After that, the next mission is unlocked. You take a meeting with Lumi and Javier in which you reveal Felipe's treachery and offer to help arrange friction between the other gangs.

They take you up on the offer — no surprise — and off you go! Adrian gives you a call and fills you in on the balance of power and a suggestion — a good suggestion really, and voila! Three new sub-missions unlock for you to alter the Balance of Power!

You need to be riding in a Romanian car to do this, and according to the on-screen prompt, once you get a car the guy you are supposed to meet to trade cars with is only there for a limited time, so you sort of have to hurry.

Getting the first car is pretty easy, just drive in through the back entrance to the parking lot. The second one not so easy — they have beefed up security and it looks like the guys that were providing a diversion for you are now dead! Fight your way in, grab another car, and get out of there man! A tip on fighting: You seem to be able to shoot through vehicles and objects on this mission, and the easy way to get to the car you need to steal is to ease forward and then kill the bad guys from your car as soon as you can target them.

Once the target ring turns red, you can kill them regardless of what they are hiding behind! The second car has a timer and the drop location is further away. There will be minimal pursuit, so take it easy you have plenty of time. The last car has no timer and the drop point is way far to the north. In addition there will be a LOT of pursuit. The best way to handle this is to drive on the far left so that the passengers in the chase cars cannot shoot at you.

Melee as needed but if you concentrate on driving you should not need to do too much of that. When you reach the drop point you get a CS and instructions that Los Lantos must be destroyed!

Jump in Stavos' car and head for the marker on your radar map. You get a CS when you arrive — the stashes you need to destroy are in the basement of the warehouse down an entrance ramp. Work your way in and target the exploding barrels to take out each of the four stashes, while killing the guards as needed. Once you take out all four, grab the nearest car and head for anywhere but here! Just kidding — head towards the green marker.

I found this easier by jacking one of those big panel vans — it can take a lot of punishment, do a lot of damage, and is not really all that slow. Once you fight your way out of the Romanian zone you get a cell phone call telling you You-Da-Man! And the mission ends. One more sub-mission to go! Man you have quite a set on you! You sit there in the CS and tell Paulo all about the 'new' cars that the Chulos have 'acquired' — his cars if you recall the first sub-mission kekeke.

Grab one of Paulo's cars from the parking lot and head for the green mission marker. When you arrive, kill a few guards, then target the barrels near the cars to blow them up. When you are done redecorating the car lot, head back to the Casino for a cell phone call from a grateful Paulo, and this set of sub- missions is complete!

The CS gives you more information about the plan — who does what, why, and of course, Lumi wants to wear the pants! After the CS more of the sub-missions are unlocked, and it is time to further destabilize the gangs Milo!

The plan? Why to wreck the Canallas street race of course! Jump into the Romanian SUV and head for the race, man. When you arrive at the race you find that you need to take out the four motorcycle riders. This in itself is challenging considering that you are in an SUV, but once you take a few out, the Chulos send in their unlimited and instantly spawning army of gun cars and bikes — and you have to contend with them as well as try to shoot the last two bikes in the race.

The simple way is to ignore the attackers, take the bikes out and then run back to the safe house, but the reality is that you are not likely to be able to do that in one vehicle. The damage that the gun cars do to you is incredible, and annoying.

It is a frustrating mission, and you will be glad you completed it when you do. On to the next sub-mission! Is he still angry about Che?? Yes he is! Stavo has a plan — he wants you to intercept a shipment of merchandise belonging to Lantos, so jump on the Chulos bike and get going! Shoot your way into the marina, grab the van, and race back to the Drugstore marker.

Yeah, I know, this is getting old — it actually feels more like work than like game, but what can you do? They sort of stretched the game out way past what the movie can support you know? So you get back and get your cell phone call, and now it is time for the last sub-mission in this set!

And a CS back at the patio table — Paulo is on the phone getting bad news. The Romanians killed Paulo's nephew, and he wants you to get the carrier and his nephew back — and kill a few Romanians while you are at it. Jump in the nearest car and head to the marker for the Los Lantos car and then get going! So did you think it was an improbable outcome? Were you hoping that this would be the last make-work sub-mission? Yeah, me too.

If you plan on getting all of the storyline achievements and you do NOT plan on playing the game again, turn off auto-save now, and create three separate saves after the above mission. The reason you need to do that is because you are about to pick which one of the bosses you are going to kill — and you only get to kill ONE.

Pick a sub-mission, complete it, and then after you receive the achievement for taking out that boss, load one of the other saves, rinse and repeat.

It really should not matter what one you end up continuing on, but it is nice to have a save for each. Now if I told you that this was easy and that I got it on the first go Well I would be a liar then woudn't I? It is not easy, and you very likely will not get it on the first go because the diffi- culty level is amped up in a major way by the outriders doing serious damage to your ride. When Radu gets in the van and runs, you have a choice — get in the car and fail, or get in the other van and have a fighting chance.

I say fail if you choose the car because the car cannot stand up to the abuse you will take and cannot do enough damage fast enough to the van Radu is driving, so just take the other van, d'accord? Before you start melee damaging him, take the time to shoot out at least three of his tyres — you will be glad you did — because that will slow his turning speed, which gives you time to really mess him up with melee damage. All that you need to do is pretty much ignore the outriders and concentrate on the van and you really should not have too much trouble here.

Fight your way to the Casino and eliminate Paulo Lial — yeah I bet you have been waiting for this! Hook me up to a polygraph? I don't think so buddy! This is basically the same mission as the previous one, except recast to suit the location. Once you fight your way in, Paulo takes off in his armored limo screaming that you betrayed him — well yeah?!

You can pick the vehicle you want — I would take the large van if I were you — anyway I did, and I was able to take his car out on the main avenue past the first roadblock in one go. It sort of helped that I was fresh from doing the previous mission right?

Once you take down the limo, you may want to make your second save now, as you have gotten the achievement for killing Paulo. I wanted to have a save for each fork in the plot so I could come back later and see how they play out differently though come to think of it, it flags the same mission after no matter which you pick so it may not matter? If you have read the previous two mission guides than there are no surprises here for you!

Just fight your way to the Drugstore to trigger Stavo's flight scene — the difference here though is he is in a fast small car and you do not get to choose a truck — not that you would want to Pick the mid-sized sedan, not the convertible. You need to use a different tactic with this one — the motorcycle gunners will kill you if you ignore them so do not do that.

You should be able to get this in one go! And that finishes all three splits in the story line for now. So pick the one you want to follow after this and continue your adventure as The Wheelman! You get a call — Lumi and Javier are trapped in the church and they need your help! Why not? Now I have to admit that this was an enjoyable mission!

You fight your way into the church, meet with Lumi and Javier, and then have a big firefight before jumping a panel van over the alter and through the stained glass window of the church! How cool was that? But the mission is not over just yet According to the on-screen brief, the buyer is at the political rally with the briefcase, and you will need his Limo to gain entrance.

Well that is simple enough right? Now race through town in the van while Javier searches the CCTV cameras that I am guessing the cops do not know he can access for the guy you are looking for. About the time you get to the glow spot, you will have all the intel you need — so go find that Limo! I used a motorcycle but you can probably use anything fast — go to the Limo, chase it try not to damage it and airjack it, then drive to the marker and pick up the buyer.
