Welcome to Hong Kong, where mystery and intrigue, money and power, and East and West intermingle. As the Yakuza terrorizes citizens, you arrive on the scene to answer the call of the city. You'll command an elite police unit called the Dragons, or you can play as a couple of spies hired to defeat Tiger Takagi--the head of the Hong Kong Yakuza. In 40 wild missions, you'll fire at moving targets with car-mounted rocket launchers, maneuver through the destructive environments, and experience real-time crashes and vehicle deformation.

Starsky and Hutch. In Hong Kong. With a Delorean.
This review is for the Xbox version

I honestly think this is an underrated little Xbox gem. I didn't play the PS2 version where they strapped guns to your car because… XTREME!? But the original version is like a game where they compiled some really good Grand Theft Auto 3 missions, completely removed the open-world mechanic and polished up the graphics. Well, the graphics on the cars at least. The human characters looked HORRIBLE.

Scott_6464's review of Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions

PROS

* Fun arcade-styled action

* Excellent graphics for the time

CONS

* Driving mechanics/physics can be annoying

* Some frustrating missions

* No multiplayer


"I expected a straight, serious racer that put emphasis on carnage. What I got was a wacky, arcade-styled, mission-based action car game that I found both thoroughly enjoyable and occasionally frustrating as hell, in equal measures"
