    It’s a great game brings back ps1 memories

    I’ve had this game on pre-order for Like a year I did not get the Deluxe Edition because I was kind of worried on the quality In In the game itself on performanceBut I was surprised how nicely done it was I know there’s probably gonna be a couple updates on bugs and miscellaneous stuff in timeBut the graphics look really good and I’m on the regular PS4 not the PS4 slim or the pro just the original PS4I like the color customizations And the accessories and upgrade you can do I wish there was a little bit more variety but it is a demolition derby game so shits going to break off anyways LOLBut t

    Laugh out loud fun

    I'm a Project Cars 2 fan, and a semi-fan Gran Turismo Sport. Wreckfest doesn't quite (but almost!) reach the realness of the car physics of those games, but the sheer insanity of the action makes up for it. As far as online play, I've only been playing the quick match option; have no complaints so far. I have seen very little lag, unlike what I've seen with GTS.I almost gave it 4 stars, though, for the following reasons:- No split screen play so you can play alongside a friend.- Acquiring enough credits (so you can purchase more cars, etc) is extremely slow. This is made worse by the fact that

    Well worth the 6 year wait!

    Edited/Updated: 29-AUG-2019A friend told me about some 'wrecking', smash em up demo derby-type game way, way back (like 5+ years ago now)... and after numerous delays and setbacks from developers, we finally have Wreckfest for the PS4! I've played the PC version (which is also great)... but there's something about playing on the big screen.Career Mode is great, and easy to navigate thru. Applying upgrades and customizing your car is very easy, intuitive... and actually FUN to do, unlike other racing games where customization is way over the top.Online Mode. Yes, not the best... I will agree he

    Wrecks-n-Effect

    Solid, pick up and play arcade game. I have to give the developers credit for still mixing-up the online events through March 2021, when I got the game. The graphics, physics, car designs, and car damage design are all well done. In particular, track debris is really good. You can hit hay bales, fences, tire walls, and fence posts, and they can all spill onto the track. It's for show, as one the debris is on the track, it doesn't effect car paths. But it does add to the realism. Also good is the road feel from asphalt to dirt and back. If you treat this as a straight racing game, and focus on

    Just what the doctor ordered!!

    I am disabled and tend to be at home quite a little bit. (Probably more than I should be sometimes) I was looking for something "extra" to do. Even though i'm no spring chicken, I started thinking that I might like to run something over .. or crash into something.. or blow something up. lol (Yes I know that sounds bad for a 52 year old woman to be saying) This game showed up and I have been having a blast sitting there banging into other cars and watching parts fly off. I seem to be going in the wrong direction a lot .. but I do believe that is operator error not game error. I think the game w

    Awesome Fun

    I had immediate fun with this. Demolition derbies and chaotic races are my kind of entertainment. Needless to say, my system needs to cool off. I love it!

    Finally, i thought this game would be the pits!

    Ok i had this game pre ordered since last year. Then 2 months ago i canceled the pre order because the developers were not showcasing the game at all which worried me that it may not be a good port and juat a lazy cash grab release with bugs, glitches, freezes, and lower quality graphics and framerate. In the end i pre ordered again because the developera did delay it nearly a year and i wanted to take a chance and hopefully wont be let down like i was with another pc port - subnautica (buggy glitchy poor excuse of a release at launch).Ok so i played the game this evening and it is a great por

    Bugs & Glitches Guaranteed

    Recieved the game at my doorstep 12 hours to be exact now & only 3 hours of playing time maybe if that & im already receiving a ungodly amount of BUGS & GLITCHES! And if you'll look at the image I've provided for other future costumers you'll see that i literally just received a "Unknown Error" & was forced to reset the entire console 🤬I get it they've worked on this for a very long time, but couldn't catch this bug before you put it on store shelves... Very disappointed about this current situation, because me myself & including everyone else that have waited in anticipation for years on thi
