Been following this one, the gametrailers looks decent. Its not trying to be a realistic game.. its all about car chases and combos :\ Saw a interview; the enemies will advance and use the same combos on you later in the game. It could take about 20-30 min to take down one car Surprised Well hope it turns out pretty good.

Didn't the demo of this game come out last summer? Where you just drive around and do weird stunts for a movie.

Wheelman is pretty damn fun, it's a mix between GTA, Burnout and a bit of Midtown Madness. Me likey.

Yes, its the Astra GTC. It has only two doors and the small rearwindows.

It seems they do incorporate real car brands, as you can see when the camera zooms in, the Opel logo is on the rear door.
