| Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions (PS2) |
To immediately cut to the chase, Wreckless is a driving game that centers around destruction. I personally I feel like it does that somewhat well! I remembered playing this game when it came out (or near there, anyway) and that it had campy cutscenes. Well, it has four cutscenes for the entire game. But they sure are campy ones! I wish it had more cutscenes, but it does not. The game feels somewhat shallow, but the gameplay itself is pretty fun. Physics are extremely arcadey, and I feel like this is massively in the game's benefit. The story is absolutely insane (fairly nonsensical!), and probably worth a quick read by itself. A good chunk of reviews (that I saw, anyway) seemed to think this was garbage.
Honestly, I think it is a pretty average game, and I played the PS2 port! Apparently the xbox version is the original, and best. If you're bored and want to kill a few hours without having to commit to something long, I would fully recommend it for that.
