Sydney, Australia \u2013 March 6, 2009 \u2013 Today Ubisoft and Midway Newcastle announce that an official Wheelman demo will be available worldwide for download exclusively on the Xbox LIVE\u00ae online entertainment network beginning March 6, 2009. The Wheelman demo will also be available for download on the PlayStation\u00ae Network on March 12.<\/p>\n

Combining spectacular Hollywood-style stunts with a gripping storyline, Wheelman provides an adrenaline-fuelled, cinematic thrill ride. Vin Diesel stars as an undercover agent and highly skilled driver who must infiltrate the Barcelona underworld to gather intelligence surrounding a covert heist. Posing as a driver-for-hire, he ends up caught in a crossfire of corruption and chaos while trying to stay one step ahead of local law enforcement and rival gangs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Wheelman demo features a custom-made mission introducing the player to the special moves that only a master Wheelman can pull off. Spin into a Cyclone while precision shooting at enemies or leap from vehicle to vehicle at breathtaking speeds to Air-Jack your enemy\u2019s car. Once the player has completed the custom-made mission they will unlock two side missions: ‘Made to Order’ and ‘Street Showdown.’ Each of these side missions will be playable three times before the demo finishes. While the finished game will allow you to freely roam a virtual version of Barcelona \u2013 the cultural capital of Europe \u2013 in an open-world environment, this demo has been created to highlight only a small section of the actual game world.<\/p>\n
Wheelman is scheduled for a March 26, 2009, ship date in Australian and New Zealand for the Xbox 360\u00ae video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION\u00ae3 computer entertainment system and Windows-based PC.<\/p>\n
