Midway has announced that the upcoming “Action-Packed Open-World Driving Game Featuring Vin Diesel” will be shipping in North America and Europe next February.

“Featuring Vin Diesel and set in Barcelona, Wheelman is a title with enormous sales potential,” said Martin Spiess, executive vice president of Midway Games Ltd. “This is not just another run-of-the-mill, licensed Hollywood knock-off,” added Matt Booty, president and CEO, Midway. “Wheelman features revolutionary new game design mechanics like cinematic super moves and vehicular combat. Once you experience Wheelman’s Vehicle Melee, you’ll never want to play another driving game without it!”

Even Vin Diesel chirped up saying, “We’re designing Wheelman to play like a Hollywood blockbuster,” said Vin Diesel, Wheelman star and executive producer, Tigon Studios. “Playing this game will be just like taking control of the greatest car chases from feature films, except this time you’re in the driver’s seat.” Weren’t we in the driver’s seat for Stuntman…?

Wheelman is due to ship worldwide on February 16th for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC .
