Replay-ware at its finest.

I was really excited when I saw this game preview. However, the replayware that was presented in the previews is all this game is. The actual game is not very exciting or fun to play. You can drive around and bash all of the surroundings and your indestructable car will lose a few pieces but it will still run, other than that the over all game play is cheesy.

The graphics are good but it doesn't really matter when the over all game play isn't very good. Hopefully if there is a next version it will be the best of both worlds (good gameplay and great graphics). It is probably a good thing to rent this game before buying it. I wish I would have.

Not worth the money to buy.....

I'd recommend renting this game. I picked it up thinking it would be something like Grand Theft Auto 3, but it's nothing like it at all. You are stuck in your vehicle the whole time, and crashing into other people gets really boring after about 10 minutes. The missions are lacking, and downright easy, and the graphics aren't all that good. The cars handle really bad, and I find it awkward to steer them at higher speeds. I don't know what catagory to place this game in, I'm thinking JUNK would be a good one though. Right now, with games like this out, I'm thinking I should have stuck with the PS2.

TOO SHORT!

Wreckless is a very graphically impressive game, the reflections are incredible and the framerate is smooth, however the gameplay is unoriginal and repetative, the cars are hard to drive, and the missions consist of chasing cars that look the same, down a track that seems to repeat itself and smacking into the back of them repetatively. Also, whenever you hit anything, static, or moving the screen becomes very blurry, I kept thinking my contacts had fallen out. The blurring "effect" only serves to detract from the gameplay even further, and is not done well at all. If I had actually bought this game instead of renting it, I would have cried, don't even rent it, it's a waste of the 3 bucks or whatever.

Nothin' but a good time

I can't believe all the harsh things i've heard about this game when it's so great. What part about "fun" don't these people like? This game looks better then anything out there right now (setting aside the girls on DOA3). I've always liked the idea that game developers shouldn't focus on looks, but rather gameplay. Despite how wonderful this looks there is nothing lacking in the play. I'm not even a big fan of car games but Wreckless always holds a good time. Of course i'll tell ya to rent it first because we all have different tastes, and you could'nt get away from feeling like a sucker if you spent [this much money] just based on this review. I'm really enjoying it. Other games I liked: Halo (dah), MaxPayne, StarFighter, Genma Onimusha.

Gameplay:The Game play is sweet you got lots of freedom like crashing through the town with a 100-Ton tank or driving a small car at 143 MPH.IF you liked Driver on Playstation you will love this title.You complete a whole bunch of missions and earn alot of cars like a Tank,Van,Monster Truck,Police Truck,Nitro Car and much more!The game is a bit short but I would buy it if I were you. Graphics:The graphics is the best part of this game because it looks so real like when you crash through some glass if you look close,you can see every piece of glass fly through the air.Lighting effects are amazing like night missions the city looks like Las Vegas with all the lights. Gameplay-5 Graphics-5 Sound-4 Overall-4.5

A Disaster

Although the graphics are pleasing to the eye it hardly compensates for the difficulty of the game. First, you are timed (not very much time for that matter)and the turn twisting streets are hard to navigate through. All in all i would recommend you do not buy this game, spend it on something else.

A good, but repetitive arcade racer

Wreckless by Activision is a high-intense, demolition derby-like arcade racer for the Xbox which makes great use of the Xbox's ability to render great looking graphics. It's a shame that the gameplay didn't match the look of the game. The game itself is pretty fun to pick up and play for the first couple of hours, but the repetitiveness of crashing into people, other cars and just the city environment gets tiring. It doesn't help that, despite having an easy set of driving controls, Wreckless lives up to its name in terms of controlling the car.

Maybe it was done purposely, but a racer which causes a player to spin-out, fishtail and crash at the slightest bump or pebble on the course doesn't make for a high-speed gaming. It seems that there's a great game just waiting to come out of Wreckless but instead it remains locked behind a repetitious gameplay, balky driving mechanics and boring missions objectives. Wreckless does make for great eye-candy as the developers made great use of the Xbox's graphical power. The sound effects are above-average and works great with a home theater surround sound system. Definitely a rental if that at best. Criterion Studios would get it right with their Burnout series and culminating with the excellent Burnout Revenge.

Awesome racer

This is a fast pace game, that builds on your experience. The faster you go the better cars that you achieve.
