Come on! From the outside of this games box, it looks to be the Xbox's answer to GTA 3. What you get when you put it in the machine is a different story. Cheesy cartoons characters and a weak plotline, backed up by monotonous game play are more than enough to offset the fabulous(and I mean FABULOUS) graphics. I've just rented it, and almost already beat it. If you want a cute cheesy game with great graphics and good driving, this game is for you. If not, just rent it, enjoy the graphics, and send it back
Don't buy this game. It may be worth renting.

The graphics are excellent. That's the only good thing I can say about it. The game play is absolutely horrible. The camera changes perspective on you at the worst possible time. The game is very frustrating because of this. The time limit to complete the levels is barely sufficient, so the seconds lost everytime the camera changes perspective cause you to lose the level. I strongly suggest you rent this game before buying it. It's only single player, so if you get tired of the missions, which you will, there's nothing left to do.
great graphics..fun for a few days...

this game was predicted to be one of the reasons to buy an Xbox but unfortunately that prediction was way off. The graphics are great, i can't deny that but the game is too short and repetitive. I finished my friend's game in a few days and it was good while it lasted but now that it's over i won't return to it. But a longer and larger sequel could be a great game..I'm not just saying these negative things about this Xbox game because i am a nintendo fan but this is just a bit poor..If u want good games for Xbox buy Halo/Dead or Alive 3
Pretty Good

---RENT IT FIRST---
The gameplay is pretty good, flying over jumps and cruising down a highway the going the wrong direction. The problem is that missions are iffy. You are given real 'missions' complete with specific objectives, but you never really find out how you got into the situation in the first place, or why you are trying to, for instance, snap photos of some dude on a yatch. Essentially, you are plopped right in the middle of a scenario without an intro, you play the game, the game ends with a completely inconclusive outro, and that's it, but that's not really all that important in this sort of game, now is it?
10 missions in each of the two campaigns seems like alot, but all but a few are very short. The length comes from the fact that if you lose a mission, you have to start the entire thing over again. If you're good, you can beat the game very quickly.
A good rental, but still disappointing

Wreckless is such a hard game to play. With such beautiful, sharp and detailed graphics, you realize quicly that the actual gameplay is boring, repetative and dull. You can literally count the number of varied missions on your hand... you're either required to total an enemy car trying to escape your pursuit, or transfer some chemical to a safe truck. It's ridiculously easy too. Most average gamers can beat this in a weekend, hardcore gamers isn't even worth mentioning. Overall, rent this if you like vehicular combat games, but do not buy it.

I think this game is a fun game, but is to hard for me. I just think everyone should rent this game before they buy it. I give one star for the graphics, and one star for the competition.
Lets see.... it looks good

Well, it looks good, but that's about it. After reading all the hype about this game, I bought it the first time I saw it at the store. I got home and played it for about an hour and have not played it since. It's very repetitive. What's the fun in just smashing into stuff? All the missions are timed so you can't even explore the city. The vehicles are not the easiest to control either. I guess I was hoping for something along the lines of GTA3. All I can say is rent it first.
This Game is Fun 4 a Week

The game has great levels, great cars, great missions, except that it is WAY TO SHORT! There are two different senerios you can choose from, cops or spys. Each senerio has 9-10 missions which take like 5-30 minutes to complete each one. Once you unlock all the cars and secret things, this game get borring fast.
rent it don't but it

this game isn't all its cracked up to be. Halo is a god of a game, so is JSRF, but this....well, its playstation quality. The driving controls are awkward, the graphics aren't great, the missions aren't that much fun, and i played it for about 2 hours and was sick of it. its not even two player compatible. I can't find any pros that arent' in all driving games. Wreckless is quite unremarkable.
