About the Game
He drives people around who have a need for speed and less of a need for compliance with traffic rules. Milo is also an undercover-agent sent to Barcelona to infiltrate the local underworld but he soon finds himself between the fronts of an all-out gang war between three rival groups. The player takes on the role of Milo Burik looking over his shoulder while freely walking and driving around the city.
Story & Setting
After releasing the corresponding button, he then jumps over, removes the original driver and continues on his journey in his new vehicle.
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, the player rams his car into other cars until they go up in flames. By destroying other vehicles, speeding and generally reeking mayhem in the city, the player 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 the player can take on.
Standout Features
- It also allows him to quickly switch lanes or ram through barricades.
- Utilizing this power allows him to get a speed boost, get perfect aim at high speeds or perform a 180° turn, aim and destroy his chaser with one shot.
- Pistols, machine guns and such too await to be used outside and inside cars and if his own car is about to blow up or if he just doesn't like the color anymore, he can perform an air jack.
