Wreckless feels like an out of control joyride through the streets of Hong Kong in a high performance rental car. You not only don't care about the damage you're dishing out, you're looking forward to the next big object you can take down just so you can see what it will look like. The outstanding graphics and lighting are the kind of features we've been waiting for on the Xbox. It looks like something fresh, something that could only be done on the most powerful machine around even though it follows the old school videogame formula of low brow fun and more low brow fun.
Even with its shortcomings, lack of features and depth, Wreckless is the first in a string of upcoming Xbox titles we're about to see that delivers well developed solid gameplay to go with those outstanding Microsoft powered graphics. Xbox owners have had to suffer through a lot of old PS2 remixes and ports up to this point, but Wreckless is one of those games that will make you glad you have the system.
Awesome Game!!!

The point of this game is to crash into other cars hard enough to make them unable to run in a set time limit. It can be frustarating but it is very, very fun!!!
Not much fun

This game was another disapointment for the XBox.
The good:
1) You can run into anything
2) The cars are fast
The moderate:
1) Storyline is dumb, and uninteresting
2) Characters are ditzy, and totally uninteresting
3) Some unique missions
The bad:
1) Graphics that look PS2, not XBox quality
2) The game is boring after 30 minutes
3) A totally indestructable vehicle
Rent it, DO NOT BUY THIS TITLE.
Stop!

The graphics in this game aren't that terrible exept for the doors always falling off. I don't think this game would be worth your [this kind of money]. This game will have you screeming on the top of your lungs and ripping your hair out. Personally I have never sworn so much in one day. You will run into invisible walls, hit very small bumps causing you to spin out and it seems the traffic purposely runs into you [messing] you up and having you start the mission all over again. Over all I think this is definitly not worth [the price]... You'll hate the game in 10 minutes.
Fabulous graphics, but horrible controls

Wreckless cooly shows off the graphic power of the Xbox. The rendering of a stylized Hong Kong looks just gorgeous. The framerate is also good, and there is a lot of action. But the controls are a big letdown and makes the action a moot point at times. For some reason I have a lot of trouble making simply left and right turns, and when I try to powerslide I more often than not slam into a wall -- mind you that I thought I was pretty good at playing Project Gotham. The cars also flop too easily, and you can get stuck occasionally due to what looks like a bug. Very frustrating. At best a rental title.
Breakthrough Graphics.

Wreckless has simply awesome graphics and great gameplay. Controls are great despite what you read (you are SUPPOSED to swing wide onto sidewalks and into walls...that is the point...what is the game's name...). The only shortcoming is the quick linear progression through the game which degrades replayability. This would be a great candidate for offering addtional levels either online or on an add-on disc. And just to be clear, since there seems to be some confusion, Wreckless is not a sports sim. It is designed entirely for fun versus realism. Comparing it to GT3 therefore would be like comparing SSX to Amped...pointless. Anyone searching for the holy grail of racing in one game is missing the point. With over 10 car racing titles and counting on the Xbox, more is simply better. If your a one-size-fits-all kind of person, don't bother buying an Xbox. Wreckless follows the simple Xbox recipe for success...groundbreaking graphics and compelling gameplay. If for nothing else, you simply have to give this game kudos for its breakthrough graphics.
More or less a waste of time.

This is a fun game and I like it a lot. The only problem i have is there are way to many racing games on and coming to xbox. We need some other games golf, tennis, soccor, bowling and pool.I mean already 10 games and more coming come out soon. I wish I would have bought game cube and atleast had more choices in games.
Great fun!

This is a racer of the different kind. If I want to race people, I play Rallisport Challenge. If I want some great stress relief, this is the game I play.
This game combines great action and great driving. The graphics are among the best I've ever seen on any gaming system (home or arcade). This is a must-have!
