Wreckless: The Yakuza Mission
Exclusive IGN only screens of this rambunctious driving game should not be missed.Crazy Taxi? Only the beginning. You may have thought that you’d seen car carnage in action, but it’s nothing when compared to the total havoc tossed upon innocent Hong Kong in the upcoming racer Wreckless. Actually, calling it a racer would be to give it less credit than it deserves. Driving platformer is the closest description we’ve got for the title, which mixes everything from jumping puzzles to four-wheeled sumo matches in with a title that already manages to beat games like Crazy Taxi and Midtown Madness at their own game. It also just happens to be the most graphically impressive Xbox title yet, pulling off visual effects so impressive you’ll think you’re watching a CG movie until you’ve had a chance to take out half of downtown Hong Kong for yourself.
