It does exactly what the title says. BugBear have developed a truly awesome game here. From the moment you press start, the music begins, the funky music beats get you in the mood for what’s about to come. I press career to get started, there’s five championships with plenty of content to keep you going. First race, I'm on a lawnmower. I fail miserably but keep re-trying as its so addictive. Theres plenty of cars to purchase in game and just enough mods to enhance your vehicle. The controls are smooth, theres plenty of options to make sure you have an individual settings control. Whether your a beginner in this kind of game or a pro there is plenty of enjoyment on offer for everyone. After career, you also have multiplayer so you can face off your creations with other racers from around the world. Theres also a custom races mode too. Lots of DLC in the pipeline also so make sure to pick up the season pass for this one. This game is so much fun, I recommend it 100% without concern, and if it weren't for the lack of being able to invite my friends to an online session... I would have give then game a 10/10. I've waited so long for this game and it's everything I had hoped it would be and there's more to come.… Expand

    Wreckfest is absolutely brilliant, a definite 10 stars in my book. It's a genuinely fun game with replay value, this isn't something you're going to play for an hour then never touch again. It has great steering "feel" and smashing (see what I did there) physics, but at the end of the day there is a real racing feel and you have to actually try to win and use more strategy then just running people off the road. The vehicle selection is great! You can race ratty old muscle cars, lawnmowers, RVs, you name it. In a world where $59.99 seems to be the industry standard price to buy a game, Wreckfest is $39.99 which is a super cool move by the developer. You're getting a lot of game for $40, trust me. As someone who owns a full library of $500+ worth of popular racing games, I'm finding myself over and over again reaching for my $39 copy of Wreckfest. Seriously, pull the trigger and buy a copy, you won't regret it! Wreckfest delivers a lot of smiles per gallon!    … Expand

    Great game for me 10/10, if you like destruction derby then you must have this game. For me it's a mixture of destruction derby plus motorstororm plus flatout.

    The best driving game I’ve played in the last five years. Ever played a game like Forza and just rammed all other cars off the track? That is the entire point of this game and thanks to a large selection of vehicles and tracks, there is an endless amount of things to do, whether that be a 24 car demolition derby, or a race with two dozen lawn mowers racing against a combine harvester.

    When I look at Wreckfest, I immediately flash back to my childhood. Two particular games come to mind. Destruction Derby on the PlayStation and Crash N’ Burn on the PlayStation 2. All I really need to say is I love it a lot.

    I’m not much of a racing game fan but i am a dirty racer when I do play them so this game fits me perfectly.

    But let me talk about the game instead of my thoughts first. Wreckfest is a demolition derby racing game, which in best way I can describe, crashing a bunch of cars together in what can be the most chaos filled environment, plus you can like race and other fun stuff while you do it.

    Gameplay is very solid and feels I would say a bit less like a simulation based, perhaps more like a Forza horizon kind of deal. The customization kind of reminds me a bit of Forza as well with its rating system for vehicles and purchasing of parts to increase the rating. There’s even tuning as well. I have no real issues with anything. Everything works quite well on my standard VCR Xbox One and I can drive a lawnmower.

    Overall, this is a game I would prefer instead of most racing games like Forza or Need for Speed because I’m much more of a dirty racer myself, and anyone familiar with modern racing games should be able to get into this no problem, especially with the friend nudge. There’s still a lot more I’d love to see with this game in future updates, but it’s still a solid recommendation from me.

    This game is freaking awesome and loads of fun... perfect balance of sim/arcade racing and controls great with a wheel... only thing negative I can say is that I wish it’s soundtrack, which rocks hard, had more songs.

    Those two quibbles aside, I love this game and will continue to sink many many hours into it, smashing away happily at the best car deformation modeling I have ever seen.    … Expand

    Im writing this review having owned the game for just on 3 months having 100% completed career mode, Wreckfest is simply one of the best racing games of this generation, recommended for any racing fan no matter what your usual jam is.

    A very good fun game to play if not taken too seriously online multiplayer is excellent as is the career mode yes there are a lot of graphical glitches such as the drivers arm when celebrating seems to be held onto his racing suit by springs and there are a number of other little graphical glitches but none that really affect the actual gameplay.

    The whole car and damage dynamics as well as the racing dynamics are extremely well done my only real problem with this game is the amount of time each race takes to load.
    Load times for each new race and track are far too long and I have once installed on the internal hard drive and it still takes up to 50 seconds just to load a basic track.
    I’m sure that once there is more feedback the glitches will very quickly be rectified with updates. The game is already over a year overdue but at least it is here now    … Expand

    Wreckfest is the epitome of white knuckle driving, as you’ll clench when you can see an oncoming hit about to happen, or laugh uncontrollably once you completely destroy someone and send them flying off the track. Wreckfest is chaotic and frantic fun at its core, and even though it has its issues, it’s a complete blast to play and enjoy.

    A really nice, fun and accurate game that mixes racing and destruction simulator, just like the old FlatOut did years before. Still, there is some improvements to make on the AI and Online side.

    By reminding us the glory days of the Destruction Derby franchise combined with the great gameplay of their own FlatOut series, Bugbear gave us a sorely missed and absolutely fun arcade racing experience.
