Wreckfest for PC is a joyous racing game that combines destruction derby delight with speed freak street racing in either single player or multiplayer fun.

There is a mixture of events in the game, where the player must either race cleanly, aiming to be first, or where you can play dirty, sabotaging your opponent’s car by shunting them off the track or driving them into a wall.

You begin the game by choosing your vehicle, from a lengthy and comprehensive list that includes CAT earthmovers, Caddies and Chevrolets, a showroom’s worth of Fords, Pontiacs, Rovers and VW Beetles amongst many others. There is even a Volvo bus if size and strength are your thing. You can customise your paintwork, but do not get too attached to it, as each race or outing will surely leave it in need of a refresh!

Next you choose between manual and automatic. Manual is great if you are a fan of simulation racing games, automatic if you are out to score speed and destruction prizes without wanting the stress of gear changes and potential stalls holding you back.
