Gameplay & Core Systems
As a Wheelman Milo doesn't just drive his car or motorcycle he also uses them as a weapon. By swinging the mouse or using one of the sticks, players rams his car into other cars until they go up in flames. By destroying other vehicles, speeding and generally reeking mayhem in the city, players also fills up his focus power which is needed for special attacks. But his car isn't Milo's only weapon. All this is used to advance in the main storyline as well as in the many side-missions players can take on.
