Quick facts: Vin Diesel bench-presses 415 lbs on a good day. On a bad one, he only manages to lift a puny 325 pounds above his head. (I asked what he handled in the weight room during the conference call a few weeks ago. He laughed after I posed the question. Later, after my follow-up question, he called me “buddy.” We’re BFFs.)
If you doubt Diesel's weight room prowess, look no further than Wheelman for evidence of his musculature. To aid you in this epic quest, thereby making it a slightly-less-epic question, we uploaded a launch trailer for the game. While you're peeking at his bulk, take the time to observe his ridiculous gymnastic ability. In Wheelman, Diesel can carjack ... while driving. The result is a hilarious animation of Diesel lunging from his car to the top of another vehicle.
Is the name of the trailer implies, Wheelman is available in stores right now.
I love how he just...gets onto the front of the car he's driving and then proceeds to launch himself 20 feet onto the other car while going probably 70 mph. Hilarious.
This game is suprisingly well done for a movie game. It's still meh though, heh. Kind of a mix between Midnight Club and Saint's Row. With kinda Midtown Madness physics. Fun but for some reason not really that enticing to keep playing.
I'm waiting for the Vin Diesel game about his old D&D character. And I still can't get over the fact that it's a game studio founded specifically to make games that star Vin Diesel. This looks fun, though.
I definitely want to give this game a try. It looks to be like the Transporter movies but starring Vin Diesel, which wouldn't work on film, but makes some sense in videogames.
Not saying I wouldn't play a Jason Statham game, just saying...
Seriously, the gameplay is nice, but If you are making a game that happens in Barcelona, you should stop making the characters look like they are from freaking tijuana...
These people need to keep their passenger windows rolled up. Or at the very least, they need to NOT jump out of their cars when somebody jumps in the passenger window.

Not something I would spend money on, but I liked the crazy shit you could do.
