I love wipeout for the racing, but at the same time hate it for the weapons. My favorite versions are where you can turn the weapons off. I just want to get in the zone and do perfect laps, mesmerized by the track and music. At some point you don't think about what you need to do anymore, you just zoom along enjoying the sights and sounds, it's a great experience.
Actually it has a lot of similarities with DDR in gameplay. Playing that on expert is also about letting your body do the work without interfering. Clear your mind.

I played wipeout HD without using the weapons but at some point I couldn't get above bronze anymore for speed laps and time trials. (before they patched in easy mode for those) Then I finally figured out that you get a boost each round in the weapon slot, doh. Turned bronze right into gold.
It's still annoying that the xp you earn relies mostly on the damage you do, so it takes me forever to unlock upgrades without using weapons.

Wipeout fury was disappointing for me. More focus on the combat I hate. Combat only breaks up the trance like state you get from racing.
