Forget about Wreckless 1
There is a reason this game, while being a Wreckless sequel, has removed all association with that name (unless Wreckless was only the English version name, I'm not sure). It improves upon every one (of the many) problems the original game had, and is much better for it. It's faster, more hectic and you can literally smash other traffic off into the distance instead of having to try and struggle through them ("Clear a way for the bus" my ass). Possibly a little expensive at US$60, but if you're a fan of the idea of the first game but not the execution, then it's worth the money.
