Good game to have, but not at full price.

Recommending Wreckess poses a dilemma. There are so many things about the game that are good, most specifically those things surrounding the graphics. Wreckless contains a beautiful and detailed Hong Kong cityscape and is chock full of special effects. After a mission you can watch a replay that is stunningly realistic. The game is also easy to pick up and lots of fun to play.

So what's the problem? Unfortunately, this is not a game that will grip you for hours. After the pretty graphics and the novelty of smashing everything in sight wear off, you find the gameplay has little substance. Drive around, smash stuff, drive around some more, etc. Don't get me wrong, the game can be great fun, but only as something you pick up every once in a while when you want a quick and fast-paced game. Don't hesitate to buy Wreckless up if you can get it at a discount. Otherwise, you might want to try a rental first.

One last thing that should be mentioned. This game is based in Hong-Kong, so vehicles drive on the wrong (i.e., left) side of the road. This means that when you start, you will find that your natural inclinations meet you head on with a lot of traffic. In order to be able to complete more advanced levels, you have to learn to get in and stay driving in the left lane.

The Xbox version wasn't as good but at least the graphics...

The NGC version of Wreckless is here. The graphics aren't as good as the Xbox version, and you now have the ability to play 2 players and run over pedestrians. Yay. The only cool thing is the 2p mode w/o split screen. This is cool but a pain in the [butt] because you cannot go too far away from each other.
In the end, this game is not very entertaining and at times very frustrating. So just forget it.

An okay port of an average Xbox game.

When Wreckless: the Yakuza Missions first came out on Xbox, there was a lot of hype surorunding it. It was a challenging game with lots of graphical touches. Now, it is out on Gamecube. It is still enjoyable, but nothing above average. The graphical filter which allowed for cool looks like cel-shading or a grainy black and white is nowhere to be found in this port. The controls are great, and it is still challenging, but there are better games on the market. It advertises being able to smash things and run over pedestrians, but if you want violence, go play GRAND THEFT AUTO: VICE CITY instead.

could have been better

When I first bought this game I expected it to be awesome. But when I played it I was a little dissapointed.I heard the graphics were really good, and to me they made me feel like I was playing an N64 game. Other than that it was alright. If you can find one for 20 bucks, get it. It will make you feel better if your a destructive person. You may want to play it at a friends house first though, or rent it. All in all it could have been better.

You dont wanna rent this or buy it
