Wreckeless: TYM has as much Asain charm as the title of this review. it is an awfully "Far East" game for the company that brought us Spiderman and Tony Hawk games. Obviously, the only thing Activision handled was the translation of the menus. I'm not bashing the Eastern Hemisphere at all. It just makes the game have a slightly "different" feel. It's hard to put my finger on it, but it seems as if it's an American game made by Japanese people who interpreted what Americans think a game should be like. It's outcome is the equivalent of ADD. It's like the game needs mdicine, and not in the fast paced Max Payne type, but the "your little cousin who nobody wants to babysit" way.
Graphically, the game is decent by today's standards, today being 4 and a half years after it's release. I'm late, I know, but it was one of the first Xbox games I heard about, and I saw it as part of the buy 2 get one free deal I'm always talking about. There's a lot of action onscreen, which can sometimes distract a person from the task at hand.
Above all, it's a decent game. It just feels like it was rushed to make launch, didn't make launch, got stung out on meth for two months, then decided to make a comeback.
