@@andreasottohansen7338 it's not, In Spain (where the game's supposed to be based on) diesel cars are pretty common, so you just have to get a diesel car to get that line.
I played this game because my parents didnt allow me to play GTA. It was quite fun. You know, i believe these are among the GTA clones made for people who were in a situation like me.
A few years ago, I ended up working retail with one of the developers of this game. He didn’t believe me when I told him I had played the game before. He especially didn’t believe me when I told him I loved it

Mann, you just brought me back to the 30 min demo for Just Cause 2 or however long it was and being able to do everything u wanted lol, then just restarting the game and doing everything else. Good times.
Tbf i don't remember i ever dislike video games when i was a kid, as long it's moving and i can get used to the gameplay, i was always in for the ride. I remember enjoyed the hell out of games like Made Man, Conflict Denied Ops, Charlotte's Web, and Reservoir Dogs the game lol. Now i realized how actually bad those games are.... Ah child innocence..
Whats funny is the fact that even all these years later this game actually aged alot better than the newest Vin Diesel game Fast and Furious Crossroads did!🤣😂
I like thinking that Diesel’s inner monologue every time he jumps off his moving car onto someone else’s to steal it is just “Hippity hoppity get out my property”
I thought this was an average or ok game but if it was a fast and furious game it would easily be the best. Glad to see you consistently give light to games that aren't often talked about or mentioned.
i remember getting this as a gift, it was 2009 and my dad returned from a business trip from geneva and he suprised me with it. ( we lived in South Africa and those games never came here) i loved this game so deerly.
man this game gives me Driver 3 vibes. I never had internet back in the day. so I never knew the controversy around it. it was just a fun game of hilarious bugs. one of my fave bad games to play.
I played this waaaay too much as a kid, was my first GTA clone, got it on launch, I don't remember the story at all just jumping from car to car and getting in to cop chases, the physics are probably super dated but felt great back in the day.
man this made me so happy, this was a staple of my childhood going to blockbuster to rent this game. this was “GTA at home” and i damn sure loved it and the physics.
Yep, I loved this game. I pre-ordered it. Walked into GameStop, asked for it, dude says, "Oh, you're the only one who pre-ordered this game." I'm like, "Cool!" Little did I realize, I was probably the only one who BOUGHT the game at my GameStop >_> Still, loved this game.
Kevduit is like that one time where you’re in bed and suddenly remember about Dantdm or episode 6 of Star Wars while scrolling through UA-cam as you lay in bed, constantly uncomfortable
i think only few people played this game, its was super fun and intense to play, i never played it without some wild 80's music in the background, it made things much more fun this was and still is amazing game to play, gameplay is super fun
nah kev fr you make me realize the best part of my life was being born in primetime gamin era of 360,psp,ds,ps3. Like well never get that ever again xddd
I absolutely loved this game, when i was 6-7 years old one of my relatives gave me a copy of Wheelman for PC. I was always stuck on a certain mission. i got angry and deleted the game fast forward to 2022 i completed this game. It was a one hell of an experience.
The funny thing is I really skip through when a youtuber talks about their sponsors. But in your case I really wait for you to talk about the yacht and my weird dreams. Love your videos man. Your videos has some different taste and I love every bit of it. Thanks for making my day awesome.
Oh man that Xbox 360 home screen brings back some memories. Going for recon armor, gears of war, that first time you wake up in the cart in Skyrim, those were good years lol
Its amazing to think Demon Souls came out the same year lol. Such a weird time for gaming, especially when it comes to licensed games. Just seeing that Midway games logo makes me nostalgic.
I used to play this game everyday religiously on my 360 I don't really remember the story much I just remember bashing into cars and breaking stuff and just cause as much destruction as possible it's a mix of burnout and gta and I sure did enjoyed it
1:11 Heyyy, I didn’t know Midway made tie-in games. For those who aren’t Mortal Kombat fans, Midway either made or published the old Mortal Kombat games before Netherrealm took over for MK9/MKvDC-MK1.
I had this game at launch (still have it). Actually had a bit of fun, essentially a more broken gta with a carjack gimmick where you can jump onto another car while driving.
My favorite part of this game was when Vin Diesel said, “It’s Dieselin’ time.” And diesels on everyone.
Why does that sound like a urination euphemism
@@andreasottohansen7338 when your Diesel is leaking get´s a whole new meaning
If they really wanted to upset IGN, Gamespot they would have made a game with Paul Walker.

@@anon7596 at least they managed to make it more fun than modern gta online
Same here lmaooo
I remember when I wasn't allowed to play gta

That's soo funny lmfao
I remember as a kid I played the demo for this probably a dozen times. This and Just Cause 2 had amazing demos that were so fun to play.
You woulda made a good friend back then cuz both of those games were my top game
Yeah the gave you a window of time to do all the things the game offered. It was always a good time.
Mann, you just brought me back to the 30 min demo for Just Cause 2 or however long it was and being able to do everything u wanted lol, then just restarting the game and doing everything else. Good times.
@@kamikaze01239 Wasn't you limit to a certain area of the map?
VENGA VENGA VENGA
I have great memories of the game, though probably hasn’t aged well lol
Aged better than the identical looking fast and furious crossroads
Dude I absolutely loved this game and it was way before Vin became super popular it was so much fun
Wheelman: A character very skilled in the story
Kevduit: Aiming for every enemy with a comment with their death
I never seen this video game before, but seeing it all I could think about it is “Family, Family, Family, Family, and Family.”
I lowkey enjoyed this game as a kid. Something about the burnout-like driving destruction that made me like it
With the driver flying out of their car during takedown remind me of flatout
Tbf i don't remember i ever dislike video games when i was a kid, as long it's moving and i can get used to the gameplay, i was always in for the ride.

Me too
does anyone else only remember
the front cover of this game and not the actual gameplay
He's no little boy, he's a wheelman.
Believe me he is
Vin Diesel.
Whats funny is the fact that even all these years later this game actually aged alot better than the newest Vin Diesel game Fast and Furious Crossroads did!🤣😂

That "Cyclone" mechanic is actually a genius idea for many driving/shooting games.
I wonder why more games haven't produced clones of this mechanic?
The chronicles of Riddick games were fantastic they definitely deserved more love
Agreed, Kevduit should do a video on them me thinks

I used to play this game like hundred times on my old PC, it was on CD and I still have it in my CD collection.
I really loved Vin Diesel's catch phrase of "I wanna be a wheel boy" it really reminded me of my childhood 😢
There are heroes like Superman, Batman, Spider-man.
And then there's the Wheelman.
He was Bitten by a radio active wheel
I remember when this game first came out … it looked how gta 5 looks today which was crazy for 360/ps3 graphics.
Still got this game in the archives and wet was underrated love that game
Micheal Bay is jealous he wants this many explosions in every movie.
I loved this shit way too much as a kid. Literally a GTA alternative with Burnout driving elements. It was a fun time!
I played this waaaay too much as a kid, was my first GTA clone, got it on launch, I don't remember the story at all just jumping from car to car and getting in to cop chases, the physics are probably super dated but felt great back in the day.
@Dula.D It is the origin.
GTA was rated M and I was like a kid so i did my research for a rated T version of GTA and this is what I found
10/10. Really makes you feel like Din Viesel
everytime vin diesel ran all i could think of was “i’m fast as fuck boi! i’m still fast as fuck boi!”
"My name is milo, I'm a wheelman", that shit stays free whenever my subconscious decides to bring it up 😂😂
man this made me so happy, this was a staple of my childhood going to blockbuster to rent this game. this was “GTA at home” and i damn sure loved it and the physics.
BRUH I remember playing this on the 360 lmao damn what a time to be alive 😂🤦🏾♂️
why does this actually look like so much fun!
Because back then games were made for fun.
Yep, I loved this game. I pre-ordered it. Walked into GameStop, asked for it, dude says, "Oh, you're the only one who pre-ordered this game." I'm like, "Cool!" Little did I realize, I was probably the only one who BOUGHT the game at my GameStop >_> Still, loved this game.
Let’s get Kev to one million subscribers by the end of the year
"Soon will the wheelman come to bring us sugar and tea and rum"
The games all about family and defying the laws of physics
I remember getting this game and taking it back 😂😂
lol i did the exact same thing, the gameshop near me had a 48hour return policy so i finished the game in a day and returned it the next morning.
Why?
Kevduit is like that one time where you’re in bed and suddenly remember about Dantdm or episode 6 of Star Wars while scrolling through UA-cam as you lay in bed, constantly uncomfortable
If i ever met Vin Diesel i'd call him "Wheelman." "Youre the guy from Wheelman!"
2:22 look at that subtle Mortal Kombat reference on the numberplate: "MRTL KM8T"
Vin Weasel's Dealman
lol the loading screens and menu music had me feeling all the nostalgia 🤣 hilarious commentary too!
The game is the reason why I love Pontiac G8s lmao
This is my favorite game growing up. Wasn’t allowed to get gta so had to improvise
I'm from Barcelona and I played this as soon as it came out with my friend... what a blast, never expected to run through my city as Vin Diesel.
That license plate said MRTL KM8T 🤣
I do, it was fun, especially the cinematics
i think only few people played this game, its was super fun and intense to play, i never played it without some wild 80's music in the background, it made things much more fun
this was and still is amazing game to play, gameplay is super fun
This was one of the funniest things I have ever watched. Never stop doing what you do!
nah kev fr you make me realize the best part of my life was being born in primetime gamin era of 360,psp,ds,ps3. Like well never get that ever again xddd
This game looks actually fun to play may need to play it sometime
An underrated game that I don’t mind trying out.
I remember I only had the demo of this on ps3 but nothing stopped me from playing it multiple times
I have been trying to find this channel for 2 years. Now I have found it. Time to subscribe.

Hey, it's Vin Diesel driving a diesel playing Vin Diesel
Dude, you just awakened some childhood memories. Now where the hell did I put my case at...
I was so young when I played this game… I actually learned how to the difference between right and left because of the intro section…
If you look closely at the license plates most of them reference old midway games. The very first car we drive has a mortal kombat reference.
ngl looks fun. Need a remaster
I like how on the car at the start it said mortal kombat on the license plate
YOU BETTER FUCKIN BELIEVE I REMEMBER WHEELMAN!
Remember renting this in blockbuster, I miss them times coming out with a handful of games snacks then over nighters completing them all
theres just something about watching someone having a blast with a game
That one cop that lived must be a terminator
Brooo this game was so fun
I need a fast and furious movie where Vin Diesel is stuck in a smart car with only one way out.
I played the demo of this game repeatedly as a kid
now I understand where that vin diesel player model for gmod came from
I literaly got jumpscared by an ALDI ad for fucks sake
The chocobo music is the best thing ever
I remember playing this game as a child. Unfortunately, due to a bug, it was not possible to complete the first mission.
I couldn't finish the game because of a bug
I use to play the demo as a kid over and over
It was my very first Xbox 360, and it was awesome. I played it over and over until I got my hands on the call of duty franchise j
Its especially funny how this game released in 2009 and actually aged sooooo much better than Fast and Furious Crossroads did in 2020!😂🤣
He really said "look at the detail on vin diesel head"
Oh man that Xbox 360 home screen brings back some memories. Going for recon armor, gears of war, that first time you wake up in the cart in Skyrim, those were good years lol
This game was really good. I remember replaying at least 2-3 times, and I would never replay I game I didn't enjoy.
"Mom! I want the new fast and furious game!"
"Now honey...we have the fast and furious game at home."
The game at home
Looks way better than the F&F Crossroads game tbh
For those of you wondering, he had 4-5 more hours of this game to go
Its amazing to think Demon Souls came out the same year lol. Such a weird time for gaming, especially when it comes to licensed games.
Just seeing that Midway games logo makes me nostalgic.
I used to play this game everyday religiously on my 360 I don't really remember the story much I just remember bashing into cars and breaking stuff and just cause as much destruction as possible it's a mix of burnout and gta and I sure did enjoyed it
No way y’all still remember this game
Not only i remember, i have it.
1:11 Heyyy, I didn’t know Midway made tie-in games. For those who aren’t Mortal Kombat fans, Midway either made or published the old Mortal Kombat games before Netherrealm took over for MK9/MKvDC-MK1.
WHEELMAN? More like real men
Behind every wheelman is a family.
No cops were harmed in the making of this video game
This game is what started my long love for the Pontiac G8 and the reason I have one today
I was waiting for wonder woman to come out when that music from the reverse slow motion shooting happens
I still have this game for the PS3. I was so confused when my cousin handed me this. I thought it was fake the first time I even saw the case ngl
Car in the game opening.. fully sick commodore bro!
I had this game at launch (still have it). Actually had a bit of fun, essentially a more broken gta with a carjack gimmick where you can jump onto another car while driving.
5:35 NOOOO MY CAR!!!!
*starts engine*
"It's family time"
Remember playing this game everyday in the morning waiting for the bus for school good memories
This is just a better version of fast and furious crossroads.
I remember playing the demo back in 2009
Dude this game needs a remaster
Vin Diesel as Triple X posing as a wheelman.
I love how the main menu looks like something out of Saints Row one
5:20 well the Chocobo music _is_ jammin'.
