Playing Wreckless is like being repeatedly shot out of a cannon. [Spring 2002, p.72]

The controls are nearly perfect. I have never played a driving game with such precise controls before.

The variety of play, including obstacle courses, photo shoots, midnight races and stunt driving is staggering. Wreckless is a work of art. [Mar 2002, p.63]

It was the best looking Xbox game for years. Great visuals and driving fun. Ripping through chaotic streets of Hong Kong bowling over obstacles, signs and buildings (with physics) doesn't get old.

A fun ride with two or three frustrating bumps along the way – I’m just hoping for some deeper missions in the sequel.

It's loaded with special effects and the vehicles all handle very responsively (crucial for a good driving game). If you can live with the fact that you won't be playing it for months then this is well worth looking into.

The lack of a two-player mode (reportedly dropped due to shipping deadlines) and no ability to simply roam around the city without time limits and seek out its many hidden areas and shortcuts is nigh-on criminal, especially the latter.

The problem is that there’s not enough depth or variety in the missions, the only reason to carry on through the game is to see the next set of stunning visuals, which you have to say are reason alone to at least rent this.

If this game wasn't so incredible looking, I wouldn't give it the time of day. [Mar 2002, p.50]

So Wreckless, while being a graphical tour de force, and a superb showcase title for the polygon-pushing potential of the Xbox, is one of those games that's all talk and no trousers.
