Wheelman

Windows - 2009

Description from the publisher:

Vin Diesel stars as Wheelman - an undercover operative and highly skilled driver who must infiltrate the criminal underworld of Barcelona to gather information about a covert heist. Posing as a driver for hire he must raise the tension between the bitter rival city gangs whilst staying one step ahead of the local law enforcement. Combining spectacular heart-stopping Hollywood-style stunts and hard-hitting over the top action, Wheelman delivers an adrenaline fueled thrill ride that will leave you breathless.

  • 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 plete 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 bat. 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!

How to Play

The game has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10, works fine. The game supports widescreen and ultra-high resolutions up to 4k, also you can play in ultrawide resolution by using FOV fix, visit WSGF page of the game for more details

Install & play guide (for DVD version):

  • Mount the .ISO disc image. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 102% or Daemon Tools Lite
  • Install the game
  • Optionally install NoDVD
  • Launch the game and play. If the game doesn't run - open the directory with the game and find wheelman.exe. Right click on wheelman.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP or Vista"

Install & play guide (for repacks):

  • Mount the .ISO disc image. You will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 102% or Daemon Tools Lite
  • As alternative - you can extract files from .ISO image if you have installed WinRAR. Right click on .ISO file -> Extract files. After that just launch the installation with Setup.exe
  • Install the game (NoDVD is already included)
  • Launch the game and play. If the game doesn't run - open the directory with the game and find wheelman.exe. Right click on wheelman.exe - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP or Vista"

Notes:

  • If you want to change FOV - use FOV fix, here's the guide how to use it
  • If the game shows error on the launch - try to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005-2008-2010-2012 Redistributable Package Hybrid (x32-64) (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions)
  • The game has the glitch with skies - on some systems in-game skies are orange or flickering. Unfrotunately, there's no fix for it, it happens on all new operational systems after Vista (Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11). The only way to get rid of that glitch - to install the game on Windows XP or Vista

One of the worse video games that ever existed. It is badly optimized, badly adapted for PC to the point that you can't even change controls. The gameplay is broken in many places, visuals are bugging out and in general, this game is a disaster. Just a waste of time. And yes, I played it back in the days, and it worked the same as now.

This game is a resource hog. I can't get it to run effectively on an AMD E-350 on a Radeon HD 6310 even at the lowest resolution. There are no controls in the game to tweak the UI settings.

We have updated the game, added few repacks with smaller sizes. Repacks has many different languages so choose one on your preferences.

We recommend to use download managers for big files

7.4G are almost impossible to download at current server speed.
Why don't split huge files in smaller chunks?
