24. Wipeout HD: Fury
I love the wipeout franchise however. I do not like racers most of the time. As time passes by. (minus fusion I've always liked the newer ones more and the old ones ended up feeling dated. Which is why there's not more on my list.
This one was particularly hard to rank. I kinda want to rank it higher. But because Wipeout HD:Fury is not a completely original game, I won't.
It is more of a PSP wipeout greatest hits remake. It's a mash-up, reskinned, tweaked controls of the awesome PSP games with ultimately less tracks and no DLC tracks and more modes. (Some even say the psp ones are better. However, the framerate hurts those games imo).
The racing is fast. With slight combat to make it a fair bit more interesting than the normal racer.
Add in the fantastic Eliminator mode(awesome with a friend), Zone, Zone battle modes. And this game is a blast. The Mode I felt missed was Detonator. Also the online is close to dead now.
Also, the biggest thing keeping this game from jumping higher is it's campaign mode is barebones. It's not the most motivating, as it's just a bunch of single races, or time trials, eliminator etc. glued together at different speed classes. While, you could just pick single race and do these things anyways.
But it's a fantastic. Up there this gen with my favorite artstyle (tied with 2 others and favorite ever for that matter). a superb soundtrack, superb visuals, and most of all superb racing.
Unfortunately sony, dissolved my favorite sony Studio. Studio Liverpool(not the normal favorite eh?), but according to links Fab_GS has showed me, there seems to be a sequal (full-fledged hopefully and hopefully not on psp2 in the works).
