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 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.

I am the type of gamer who likes a game that you can just pop in and play. And this is exactly what wreckless is all about.

The only thing that really hurt the game was the lack of options and multiplayer functions.

With the opportunity to choose to "save" your mission replay to the Xbox's hard drive after every undertaking, combined with the absolute treat of watching this enhanced, multi-camera replay, Wreckless takes the concept of replay to a higher level.

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

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

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.

Extremely fun...The main flaw in Wreckless is in the area of control. The car handling dynamics are extremely loose to convey the feeling of being well...Wreckless.
