REVIEW THIS GAME
WalMart
"  Wreckless is being compared to GTA3 everywhere, so let me start off by doing the same. GTA3 without the ability to roam around out side of your vehicle, and without weapons, and with some pretty odd missions = Wreckless. Does this make the game poor?"

Overall: Oh dear, oh dear... I picked this up cheap, and, having read some of the reviews hoped for at least some amusement driving chaotically around a city. I didn't expect too much of this title... but even my low expectations were too high... what a shambles... incredible graphics do not make an incredible game... uncontrollable, frustrating and a waste of time basically sum up my thoughts on this one.
Gameplay: Sluggish uncontrollable vehicles attempting to chase around and smash into Yakuza cars... I have no problem with the actual chase hq style of the game... but with such poor feeling of control it was unplayable. Do yourself a favour and stick to Midnight Club II or Midtown Madness 3 if you want some mindless crazy driving fun.
Graphics: Stunning graphics although occasionally a bit of blur and the framerate did suffer in places hence why it only gets 3.5 from me.
Sound: Usual car driving fare. Nothing spectacular but nothing too bad... I have to be honest and say I don't really notice sound unless it is stunning... for that reason, a distinctly average 2.5
Suggestions: Nice graphics guys, how about a game next time?

Overall: Try to picture is, a work of art that is complete chaos, ok now think of the game Wreckless, well its the same thing... Wreckless the game looked jaw droppingly real, but it has the worst gameplay ever. Whats the story about...Pudding getting on a dress, ya thats rights pudding!!!? Thats just plain stupid, and the gameplay is just stupid too its always the same thing over and over.
I do not know why they made this a game..oh wait to get money they don't deserve . Trust me don't buy this. If you must play it just rent it...You have been Warned!
Gameplay: You think its cool at first but then it gets very boring and repetitive. There just isn't very much variety.
Graphics: This is the absolutely outstanding part about this game. They style the graphics are done in is amazing. If only the rest of the game had been this good.
Sound: I guess its not bad by any way, but it just didn't do it for me... There was just nthign that really made me say wow.
Suggestions: this game could have been awesome, just needs more variety and more levels.

Overall: Fun... when you first beat it in 3 hours... yes this game is extremely short, but at least it was fun for all 3 hours. dont waste 50 bucks for this game like i did... its worth 15 bucks.
Gameplay: you have mission based goals to complete, missions are different and not the same, but once the car hits a wall, its not realistic, it justs stops and sometimes you get stuck
Graphics: I might be one of the few people who think this game graphics are really good. cars reflect, neon lights glow at night during one of the missions, but the people look FAKE. i dont think they have faces if you look closer
Sound: very bad in this department... car sounds fake. they all have the same car screeches, they all have no sound effects when it strikes a wall... i dont know what to say, but this part stinks. this includes the crappy songs they give you
Suggestions: TOO SHORT. add more levels, and multiplayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fix sounds, and seems like this game has been rushed. please take your time on your other games that you make.

Overall: I was really excited about this game when it first came out. It sadly turned out to be one of the biggest game purchase disappointments ever!
Gameplay: To make this short, this game is bland. No options, no hidden secrets, no sidestories (NO STORY ACTUALLY), A waste of time. Over soon but not sweet.
Graphics: The graphics are stunning. Great use of the XBOX visual capabilities. Good job in this category guys.
Sound: The sound is pretty bad. You should be able to rip your own tunes. Why wasn't this an option? (I forget there is no options menu)
Suggestions: Don't focus just on graphics!

Overall: 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.

Gameplay: You can smash a car can't you? Easy enough to play with closed eyes, but you'll miss the great visuals and you'll never complete the challenging missions.
Graphics: The lighting is simply excellent. And you haven't seen reflections like these in your car since it was new.
Sound: Nice voice samples and special effects. Music fits but it's cheesy nonetheless. Why can't we use our own soundtracks?

Overall: its a cool driving game where you smash into everything, i always wanted to play a game like this, even though it is short and there is no MP and there is no free roam mode
Gameplay: well you drive and smash up cars in missions, i think it is the most fun to get the tank and blow cars up with a single shot!
Graphics: ABSOLUTLY BEUTIFUL, oxm still claims it is the most technically advanced game, i compared this game to the ps2/gc version and it lots A LOT better, i got this way before these versions were out and knew they wouldnt look very good
Sound: kinda lame, but not bad, its kinda lame techno, but its not bad, the car sounds are not bad at all, just most of the cars sound the same...o well

Overall: i First played this game on my OXM game demo and i fell in love with it!!I was tryna decide between it and spiderman so i got wreckless and loved it....for bout 1 hour. the missions are so dumb and pointless and i noticed when iwas going fast and let go of the gas to slow down the car didnt slow it jus kept goin and i hate that. I jus thought the missions were so dumb i got tired of this game in 2 days
Gameplay: Dumb, weird, crazy missions and objectives some missions are fun but there are only like 2 that i acually like
Graphics: Very good graphics one of the nicest ive seen so far........ but the lil camera effects they got are dumb and the way they mess up the replays with um are terrible
Sound: Not too differant from other games but i dont got any special surround soundz, nice crashin sounds and engine sounds and stuff
Suggestions: Make free roam, make sum cheat codes, more cars that acually look alrite

Overall: This game is no fun! Excellent graphics I admit, but that doesn't make me have fun playing it. Sh!t! I've spent my money on this piece or cr@p..... -4pts.!!!
Gameplay: Boring, boring, and boring. The missions are totally pointless. Only 20 missions....What a shame. No replay value. Gets bored fast. Stupid in game characters. Small amounts of vehicle. Does not deserve to be an Xbox game. -4.5pts.!!!
Graphics: Excellent environment. Excellent physics. Excellent textures and bumps. Fast and furious on 30fps. You cannot get any more detail then that. The water looks LIVE like. and you can actually see the ppl driving inside every car. The city is HUGE. Every bits of detail in Hong Kong is appeared in the game. When you are on a mission, the city is still functioning...Cars moving, ppl running around like idiots, etc. Great!
Sound: Sound is always best on the Xbox. Wreckless uses this advantage to make gamers hear every bits of crashing, ppl screaming, car functioning sounds. Great!
Suggestions: 1) Make a Free Roam mode.
2) Multi-player + Online play.
3) More vehicles + Missions
4) More places...Hong Kong is getting really boring now. I've played Hong Kong in ShenmueII already! I want to play in an European city!
5) More replay camera...And don't make them a secret cuz I hate unlocking stuff.

Date reviewed: August 11, 2003.

Overall: WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions is an action-packed racing that is set in Hong Kong. You can chose between a scenario of the local Hong Kong police or of a government spy. Each scenario is packed with plenty of awesome cars and wild missions. The game itself doesn't have much, but the concept is new. One of my favorite parts of WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions, is that the entire city lives. There are great details from pedestrians to trashcans. The game sort of reminds me of Super Runabout for Dreamcast and PlayStation One. WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions isn't a game that I would buy, because after a while it will get boring and it isn't one of the better Xbox games. Both scenarios in WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions do have an excellent story that does make the game somewhat interesting.
Gameplay: The objectives of the missions in WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions are simple and easy to understand. Mission objectives are ones such as destroying cars or getting certain items within a time limit. The bonus missions are fun to play. As you beat missions, you unlock vehicles. There are different missions and different vehicles for each scenario. The controls were about the same as other racing games and so I had not trouble in controlling vehicles. Most the missions were easy, although some were a bit of a challenge. I did enjoy watching some of the cut scenes, which had action and some humor.
Graphics: The visuals and graphics aren't too impressive, especially the characters. The game does have important details throughout the city, but the Xbox's graphical capabilities have not been used enough in the game. The cars and vehicles do have an average visual standard, but it's nothing like the cars from Project Gotham Racing. I wouldn't say that the graphics are bad, however I would never put this game onto a list of the Xbox games with the better graphics. One of the good things about the visuals in WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions is the special effects. I found it really cool when I crashed my vehicle into those Dim Sum stands in Hong Kong, because it gave out these explosions.
Sound: There is not much to say about the sound in WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions. The sound effects were pretty cool when it came to city life and car crashing, however everything else wasn't really new. There was some good music in the game that was convenient when driving a vehicle. The game itself doesn't have any particularly good soundtrack.
Suggestions: Improvement in visuals and the missions is a major suggestion from me. The developer should have used the Xbox's graphical capabilities more. There could have been more missions, which could have been more exciting. I also would suggest a wider variety of vehicles, as well as a multiplayer mode. I do not suggest a sequel.

Date reviewed: December 29, 2002.

Overall: Overall the game appealed to me because of its graphics and fun gameplay. However, the concept of car chase became a little dull and I found myself bored with it after a while. If you enjoy that type of thing, then maybe it's for you.
Gameplay: Fun controls stand out immediatly. The game did not require the typical amount of concentration that other driving sims require.
Graphics: Cool graphics and textures, though I think the xbox is capable of much better. Still, the graphics are good enough
Sound: I didn't like the sound much, it got boring over time. I wish that it wounld enable you to import your own tracks.
Suggestions: Rethink the game concept and create more depth to the game. Fun initially, but it becomes boring.

Date reviewed: December 1, 2002.

Overall: this game suffers from providing an innovative game in a nice environment with entertaining gameplay ... the problem is simply that there's not enough of all that good stuff. you can get through the game in less than 10 hours and after that there's little replay value. but the fact that what the developers did, they did right deserves some credit.
Gameplay: it can be very addictive. racing around the city, crashing into vehicles, smashing though malls etc ... the controls are easy to get used to. the missions are easy to understand and accomplish (some will take a few attempts) you will need to use shortcuts as much as possible
Graphics: stunning for the time it was released. since then, there has been a few games to surpass this one, but it's still better than most. you can see damage effects on the cars, the building glass reflects amazing, everything was done great.
Sound: i really didn't like the audio. the crashes were done pretty well, but the music wasn't what i wanted to hear.
Suggestions: allow us to roam the city, GTA style, without the time limit. multiplayer and co-op modes. more cities. allow the music to be changed in the cars via the radio or let us play our own music.

Overall: I liked the game very much so, but it just didn't have enough. I only played it for 14 or 15 hours (not nonstop) and yet I bet it within that amout of time, but other then that I thought it was a very good game.
Gameplay: This was the first game i bought for my X-Box and I personally thought it was very good. People don't know what they are talking about when they say this game sucks.
Graphics: Some of the best graphics I have ever see, but then again all of the games for the X-Box have very very good graphics. I did trade in my Playstation 2 for and X-Box because my PS2 kept messing up.
Sound: The soundtrack could be better, but you do have to put into consideration that this was one of the earliest games for the X-Box.
Suggestions: Just spruce things up a little bit of you want to release a sequel. I know you all have a busy job and i commend you for the fine work you do, but there is nothingwrong with this game as a whole.

Date reviewed: October 27, 2002.

Overall: Awesome graphics, use of Xbox special effects, quirky design & smashing the heck out of everything in your path are the pros. Cons: not enough levels, time limits suck, not enough smashing things up, some levels are very frustrating. A lot to like, but not a finished product.
Gameplay: Smashing things up and showcasing the power of the Xbox are what this game is about. Unfortunately several levels play like a sadistic platformer requiring precision jumping, traversing narrow paths and complete knowledge of the level. You'll go from having a blast to throwing the controller across the room.
Graphics: Amazing detail and use of Xbox effects. Replays in some filters are practically photorealistic.
Sound: Some very funky dialog and voice-acting here, but sound effects are very good.
Suggestions: More smashing missions. Actually I would make that the focus of the sequel. More lenient time limits. Two-player mode.

Date reviewed: October 24, 2002.

Overall: This is a smash-em-up car game with top-notch graphics, but lacks good gameplay. The sound quality is great, but the cut-scenes are boring and you'll find yourself not even paying attention to the cheesy storyline they tried to write into the game. This is a rental title in my opinion.
Gameplay: You are challenged on 20+ missions to smash into cars to defeat them. Other than that, there is no gameplay. Personally I think the gameplay in this game persofies the word SUCK.
Graphics: The graphics are really slick and clear. There is alot of action on the screen at once and never any slowdown or choppiness. When you are finished with a mission, you can watch a replay of your mayhem if you'd like. The replays are top-level production, they look like an action scene straight out of a movie. At certain points, you'll find yourself questioning whther they are game graphics or real life. All of the cutscenes are done with in-game graphics and overall are not very impressive.
Sound: The sound quality is excellent. in fact the only thing I can say that is wrong with the sound is the voice-acting done for the cut-scenes, this is horrendous. Granted, this game was ported from the Japanese version to English, I still think they could do a better job.
Suggestions: Smashing cars gets boring, add some weapons and other gameplay elements and you'll have yourself a great game.

Date reviewed: October 18, 2002.

Overall: Well, my first impression was "wow, nicely done visuals, and good control" but as the game progressed my impression went from "wow" all the way down to "DAMNIT!" read the rest of the review and you'll see why....

Gameplay: The gameplay at first was o.k., but then i found that the missions dont really change and there isn't much insentive to finish the game at all. If you Really like to smash things with cars and racing over and over then this might be just what you've been looking for for otherwise you probly wont want to play this title.
Graphics: The visuals in this game were very good i must say- alot of time put into graphics. The graphics are really good considering this was made not to long after xbox was launched. But then again graphics alone done make games.
Sound: The sound in this game was good what you would expect from a Race - smashing game, lots of skids, crunches and padestrians screams.
Suggestions: Make a free - drive mode, need more mission variety.

Overall: I have enjoyed Wreckless quite a bit compared to what some people may say. Its a really good game that takes advantage of the Xbox's hardware. Although their is a definite need for some added features in this game, its still worthy for a place in your Xbox library! If your looking for a game to show off to your friends, this is it!
Gameplay: The gameplay is very solid, but it could use something else. Several options could be a Free Roam mode so you can go around at your own will and see the entire city, and a batch of multi-player games such as tag, a race, demolition mode, you name it! It just needs something extra! The missions are very compelling and provide a very good challenge. The controls are also very good, except for a couple of the fast cars, which are very hard to control at high speeds!
Graphics: The graphics are AMAZING! These are possibly the best graphics and effects that I've ever seen in a video game! They are just a blast to be able to show your friends what the Xbox is capable of!
Sound: Nothing much to say here. The music in this game is pretty weird as it seems to consist of a mix of Japanese style beats. The sound effects during the game are pretty cool though. It would of better a lot better if you were able to use your own music though!
Suggestions: Please consider a sequel, it was great for a first try. If you do, consider adding a wider variety of gameplay options like a free roam mode, some multi-player modes (with possible system-link and/or xbox live support), and maybe a longer single-player mission mode. Also consider adding user soundtrack support!

Overall: This game is alright. it gets way to repetitive. Its usally the same thing for every mission. Crash in to other stuff and damage it and you win the game. Its kind of lame if you ask me. This game was fun at the beggining. It was a lot of fun crashing into stuff.
Gameplay: The controls were tight and easy. They were fit pertfect for this game and i enjoyed them a lot. To make it short, easy controls.
Graphics: THESE GRAPHICS ARE GREAT!!! One of the best I seen on xbox yet. They fit great for the game and made me fell like I was there.
Sound: The sound is good. Not great. If to many things is happening at once they sound will slow down and will be a little choppy. Overall it is good.

Date reviewed: August 26, 2002.

Overall: This game is asthetically pleasing to say the least. The gameplay is a bit of an annoyance for me personally. I don't care much for playing a mission, and doing one little thing wrong and lose it all... The game is picky some times.
Gameplay: The gameplay is of an interesting nature... It's creative in the thought that I haven't played anything like it before, but unfortunatlly it's not my type of racing game. Bashing cars till they die, then get to a location as fast as possible, is fun for a while. (Averag)
Graphics: If you have ever seen this game, then you KNOW what the XBox is capable of, nothing less then totally insane GFX! There is NOT a better looking XBox game out to date. And if you think there is then you're a *&#@ idiot! And people who don't give this game a 5.0 is a &*@# idiot also, and needs to be kicked out of this fourm!
Sound: The voice acting was really lame, i don't know why Activision had to make the game so corny. I mean serriouslly what's the deal? They could have had the most serrious game ever made, it could have topped GTA3, but they wanted to make a joke out of the game, by adding childish humor... A major dissapointment.
Suggestions: I'm glad you are PORTING this game to the GayStation 2, so when they get it, and see just how bad it sucks, they will buy the XBox.

I LOVE this game. Depends what you like but if you like fast and furious destruction, this game is it.
Gameplay: Brilliant. What can I say. I hired this and now I own it and I love playing it. It is challenging sometimes and fun most of the time. A4 was a bitch but rewarding when done. Otherwise great for a laugh and it really is FAST.
Graphics: Brilliant. Don't know why it is so brown and dusky all the time but then haven't been to Hong Kong myself so maybe it's like that. A bit more colour would be nice. Totally one to showcase the Xbox.
Sound: Well I know a lot of people whinge about it but I like it. Then I am a mad BT fan. Turn up the music, turn down the sound effect. Works best for me. The speed of the music suits the frantic pace of the game.
Suggestions: Well nothing that hasn't been said. More of a sensible difficulty curve. MORE LEVELS!! You're a porn company? Naked Drivers! Kidding...
How about making the Monster trucks actually able to drive over cars and not shovel them? More cities? More colour.

The Source
Date reviewed: July 24, 2002.

Overall: There are two sets of missions: Missions A-#, and Missions B-#, with a few bonus missions among them. In Missions A, you play as two female police officers out to find the ''Yakuzas,'' who've hijacked an armored van.
Missions B, you play as two spies for the government, who happen to be undercover, spying on the Yakuza.
Now, each mission has objectives (obviously). They very from ridiculously friggin difficult to being able to do them with your eyes closed. Mission A-1 is fairly simple: Destroy the three jet black Yakuza cars by running into them.


Gameplay: The missions are crazy fun. The game has two settings: Easy or hard. Even some of the missions on Easy make you want to heave your X-Box at some poor by-stander...
But the REAL fun comes in this: The Replay. The game's replay alone makes this such an awesome game. You use the sticks to change camera angles, and up to change the camera type (Night vision, black and white, grainy, etc), not to mention that you can unlock other camera types as you progress in the game.
The controls? Eh, they're decent. I had a gripe with Halo's controls, but it's fairly simple.
Oh, one important reminder: The game doesn't have Auto-Save. Remember to save on your own.


Graphics: This game rocks. The gleam of the cars as the sunlight bounces off of it, the license plates hanging from a screw after you run in to enough things, the trunk popping open upon enough ramming, it's just enough to make you jump up and hug this game til it breaks. My personal favorite thing is the civilians on the sidewalk. They run like hell, or back up against walls to avoid your speeding car of death and destruction. If you really want fun in this game, set the traffic on ''Heavy,'' ohhhh, yeeeeaaahhhh!
Only thing that keeps this from being a ten? Traffic disappears upon taking too much damage. They flicker twice, then POOF! Gone. Which is nice if you get stuck behind them, but otherwise...

Sound: The sound of the crashing bumpers, the screaming of bystanders, the noise of guard rails flipping into oncoming traffic... ahhhh. I could do without the officer in the car going ''Yeah!'' after completing some objectives though. It tones down the rest of the hectic noise, and is LOUD... like ''Little children on a sugar rush screaming in your ear'' loud. Well, maybe not QUITE that loud. But you got the general idea, right?

Overall: I'm going to try and make this review short and sweet and to the point. Wreckless is a good game. Bottom line is it's a good game that is simply too short. Don't get me wrong, unless you're a freak, you will not be able to beat this game the first time you sit down with it. But 3rd or 4th time around you'll be done with all the missions. Some missions are a sheet joke, while others can be challenging. The game's contains everything to be a classic, except longevity and challenge. I really hope they come out with Wreckless 2 and adress this issue.
Gameplay: Game play is very nice. From the moment you start you are impressed by the game. It's addictive and the reward of getting new vehicles is nice. There are a few bugs in the game and some things that I didn't like such as vehicles dissaperence once you hit them. If you're trying to make a realistic game, this is a big no no. They should have made it like GTA 3 where the vehicle stands there for a minute or two at least. The bottom line and I suppose it is a cliche by now is this game is an ideal rental. A buy for $50 I don't think so.
Graphics: Very very impressive. I have not seen a game like this yet. Anyone that compares this to GTA 3 should get their head examined. Put GTA 3 against this and you will want to puke. I'm not talking about the gameplay, i'm only talking about Graphics. Lighting effects are amazing at times and overall the visuals are just stunning. It would be nice if you could run over people though.
Sound: Sound is very crappy. The voices are dispicable, there is some sort of techno during races. I guess mediocre is the best way to sum this up.
Suggestions: Where do I start. The developers have a gem on their hands and they don't even know it. This game has the potential to be fantastic. Here's just a few suggestions. If any developer from this game wants more from an avg gamer please email me.
1. Ability to run over people
2. Vehicles do not dissapear once hit.
3. More thoughtful physics
4. Have missions where some vehicles are better than others (more of this)

Overall: Overall, this is not a bad game. If I were to categorize it, I would probably call it a "girl" game due to the fact that you can't shoot missles or drop oil slicks but at the same time you have to destroy enemies with your car by them like a flamer.
Gameplay: What makes this game addicting is when you barely fall short of completing a mission. It's kind of trance like.

Where really good games take a lot of coordination to master, this one just takes not making the same mistake twice.
Graphics: Without the real-time rendering engine used in this game, I'd probably have only played it once. The specular lighting and size of the shadow maps are superb.
Sound: haro? you no rika me music?

Just way too Japanese..

You can't blame them, they really do try.. ;^)
Suggestions: Hire American wide eye so you can sell more game..

We americans don't know how to pronounce "Yakuza", much less enjoy saying it. If I were to tell someone what the name is, I'd say it's Yazuka.

Good luck in the future!

Overall: We are going to enter the cliff of desolation. What the hell i am talking about, we will talk about Wreckless: The Yakuza Mission not about a cliff, i am insane possibly. We all talking about the graphic hardware, the sound, the gameplay but who's care about the lenght of the game. Yes it's a was definetly too short for a great game like that but its also because there no multiplayer, it's ruins the game. A sequel, that all we want because you are doing great work. Some mission look like the same but in fact it's different to me not like Hunter The Reckoning where you always find a key to finish the levels.
Gameplay: You are driving a car in the old school so it's make the game a little bit late in the driving technology. Nothing really different from other old school driving system but i am totally satisfied. We got ten misison for the police girls and ten for the secret agent for a total of 20 mission, they are short but you got car to unlock. In conclusion, gameplay is perfect but the mission could be a bit longer with mulitplayer of course.
Graphics: Wreckless has some of the most outstanding lighting and reflections you'll ever see in a videogame. Sunlight and streetlights all reflect off of the car surfaces even after those surfaces become mangled and bent in every direction. The reflections just become smaller and more detailed. The missions happen at different times of day so you may have the bright afternoon sun overhead, the intense orange glow cutting between the buildings at dusk or the neon highlights of Hong Kong after dark all around you or reflecting off of your vehicle.

Sound: The sound in Wreckless is nothing more or less than effective. It's ok but we don't expecting more for this type of game. Voices are great for the type of character but music seems to be boring after 3 hours in a row. That all i have to say about Wreckless but don't forget the sound change nothing to a game it's just a add that give a bonus for the game so don't buy a game because it's got a amazing sound, you will lose too many dollar.
Suggestions: Multiplayer and of course make more missions or longer ones .

Overall: A good solid game, with great graphics, great sound, that will just make you love it. I am supried I am the only person who likes this game. Though it did need multiplayer!
Gameplay: Great gameplay, but sometimes the levels have the same exact ring to it but there is only two of these levels!! Some levels have multiple objectives that seem impossible to beat!!
Graphics: ummm!!! Just look at the !&%$@#* screens!
Sound: Have had no problems with it!! Its all good, but I never noticed any music!! Hmmm....
Suggestions: Just one thing..... MULTIPLAYER!!
