I adore the Wreckfest game. I played it, beat it, lost my save and was happy because I got to play it again. I think I've done that three times.

If you are like me and would like another game in this genre, try "Flatout Ultimate Carnage Collectors Edition", personally I find the crashing (as well as the racing) in FUCCE to be more satisfying than Wreckfest but both games are a must have for fans of the genre.

The only thing that Wreckfest probably does better is that it feels good on a racing wheel, I've never played Flatout on a wheek so I can't comment on that. Both are fine with a Steam, Xbox controller, or third party controller.

For the record many of the Flatout games are great, I just happen to think that FUCCE is the pinnacle. I would love to be wrong and find a better game so please feel free to share suggestions.

And for a more open world style game with collecting cars, crashing them, and causing carnage as the core theme (you still can't get out of your car) try Burnout : Paradise City, amazing soundtrack too.


Some of these games have quite unique game modes, the "High Jump" and "Long Jump" in FUCCE is a dumb as hell game and great for having friends compete on the couch.

Burnout has a mode where you have to incrementally take out X opponents before time runs out, X increasing as difficulty rises. And every time you take someone out you get boost so on a perfect run you're just exploding everyone at light speed lol. Then BAM WALL FUCK. Lol. That's the game.

And for a final unique game mode, the old Burnout games (not BPD unfortunately) had a mode where you intentionally caused maximum damage per time limit. It was hilarious throwing the car into traffic then dancing it around the city causing hundreds of thousands of damage in a scene so stupid it would have been cut from Final Destination. I think Burnout 1, 2, and 3 had it..
