1.31gigs worth of Vin Diesel-flavored action is now available for download, as Midway's Wheelman demo barrel rolls dramatically onto Xbox Live.

Okay, at this point I don't know if there is any barrel rolling involved, but there'll be plenty of driving, shooting, driving while shooting, and shooting while driving as you get a small taste of the Wheelman story, along with 2 of the 105 side missions that will ship with the final product.

I don't have particularly high hopes for Wheelman, though it's always a good sign when they feel confident enough to release a demo two weeks before the game comes out. Who knows? Maybe I'll make a new friend today.
