Vin Diesel is looking for a job in new The Wheelman trailer

The game – which looks to headline Midway's new Hollywood-or-bust focus for 2008 – has now been revealed in trailer-form and – whether it's the ridiculous jumps, over-the-top explosions, or just Diesel's gravelly narration – you can consider our interest piqued. As 'The Pacifier' puts it, he's "looking for a job," something he should land when The Wheelman ships for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC this fall.

Okay, I don't quite get it.
Is it supposed to be in the mold of "Driver"? "Stuntman"? Is it simply a racing game with obstacles.
The trailer simply seemed very basic to me. Then it throws in an over-the-shoulder shot of him firing a machine gun.

Vin Diesel has the acting ability of a doorstop.
As such, I would like to employ him as a doorstop.

new? this was on x-play when it was a good show, so you know that's a long time ago.

Sweet, GM buys it's way into another one.
I thought after Transformers they'd had enough.
Lucky us.

Michael Bay says: MORE EXPLOSIONS AND BIGGER.

Those aren't ideas, those are special effects!

Ok, I think I understand it. He was once the actor named Vin Diesel but then he was bitten by a radioactive Osama Bin Laden and now he's Osama Bin Diesel. Looks like it might be a good rental.

Was the Wheelman originally called Driver? I remember the first Driver game on PS1.

Again, just like Chronicles of Riddick, i'm betting the game will be a lot better than the movie

I hope the poor framerate is just my compy or Gametrailer's transfer.

Looks like Need For Speed: Most Wanted with explosions.

Vin Diesel + Midway = lame

As good as Tigon's Riddick game was, I don't see a lot of hope for this game. The graphics are not impressive and gameplay reminds me of Stuntman.
