Maybe if Wreckfest had a more engaging career mode, something like older Gran Turismos. If I wanted to wreck other cars, hell Ridge Racer Unbounded, Burnout? If I wanted an arcade racer with at least some level of plausible physics, I'd play Grid. Sure the damage model is excellent, but that alone doesn't make this worth spending more than a couple of hours in the game. I don't know - I played Flatouts, I played Burnouts and I played Carmageddon and each of those titles is far better when it comes to wrecking-racing. Compare this to Flatout 2 and there's just something missing - maybe it's the music, maybe the tracks aren't anything to write home about, maybe it's the physics that don't really suit the arcade racer style and you don't really get rewarded for well. I think all the potential this title had was lost due to the endless development hell, right now when the devs are back on track (no pun intended), it's just another racing games that hardly does anything super impressive. Derbies on the other hand aren't really that fun either. Sadly, you can't win by wrecking everyone in a race (Carmageddon had a better idea here). What shines is the car combat (if you can call it that) - I quickly forgot about racing altogether and focused on beating the crap out of other cars on track.
It doesn't really require you to focus on braking points and all that other good stuff racing is about.
The racing itself is kind of dull, it's either too easy, or too hard to win on the AI settings I tried. Physics are ok, but not very fun (maybe I need to try another car and do some sick drifts around the corners).
