In terms of speed, it's the best racer of 08.

 

Is it that fast?

 

Yes, the first two speeds availible isn't really all that fast. But if you're new to Wipeout (or Fzero), you'll probably find Rapier and Phantom pretty fast.

Also, in Zone mode, you increase speeds every 10 seconds and there's no limit. After Zone 50, you drive at mach 2 and sonic. It gets to a point where you complete entire tracks in 6 seconds.

6 seconds!? HOLY SHAT!!!! i've got WipeOut pulse but damn, i've never done a race that ended @ or even close to 6 seconds...

Wow...This is gonna be my next PSN title fer sure.

 

Yeah. Most people will never get close to being able to finish a track @ 6 seconds, but it's possible after zone 100 (if you don't crash..)

Go to about the 7:30 mark to get a taste of super sonic speed.

I would get it but does it still have that thing where if you grind up against a wall you lose alot of your speed? I remember watching videos ages ago be4 I had a ps3 but cant remember :(

 There is an option that enables driving aid and makes it a little easier. Anyway, some practice is needed to drive smoothly.

 

 

 cool, and I got one more question :p Are the weapons still usable? Have you played any of the extreme g games? As thoes games evolved the weapons almost became pointless, does wipeout still hold onto the weapons as a key game play feature or do they feel sticky taped on for the sake of it? Like are they as usable as mario kart weapons?

 As you advance to the more difficult challenges and races they become more important, but I think not that much at the beginning.

 



Play my LittleBigPlanet level: Mystic Runner. Thanks!

 WOW! I still need a looooooot of practice to do that.

It's one of the best games on PS3 but it has it's flaws.
I only use motion sensing steering and having some trouble with Level 7 on expert mode - they need to reduce the motion/and ship inertia lag more. Also it has no auto level sensing, it has no feedback on oversteer,and it does not use the Yaw gyro at all, requires the unnecessary use of extra air brake buttons whch do nothing but supplement the steering , so some pretty serious defects in my opinion.
It should have been alot better and is a pretty poor game in comparison to MarioKart Wii i think.
But if you like me only have a PS3 and dont have a Wii this is probably the best racer you can get other than Motorstorm.

Mario Kart Wii is fun game, but better than Wipeout HD? No way. Comparing to F-Zero, maybe. Mario Kart DS is wat better than the Wii version. Seen some Mario Kart Wii reviews? Quite lower than Wipeout. Mario Kart series are a lot of fun but this version was a let down.

Wipeout HD has its flaws, as every game has, but overall is fantastic!

Wipeout is amazing, with one caveat though. I may simply suck at it but in the later sections its TOO FREAKING HARD. And I mean not hard in a good and challenging way but simply impossible. Perhaps I missed something though.



No part of it is impossible i think i spent more than 15 hours training to get 20 perfect and 50 on airbrakes only zone trophies.

It simply requires lot of dedication to finish.

It simply requires lot of dedication to finish.


I suppose so. I mean I really am no friend of "casual" (i.e. dumbed down) gameplay and I could shake the Prince of Persia developers till their nose bleeds for making the damn game so easy but the dedication Wipeout needs seems just a bit too much "work" to me



It is a great game, I bought it when it first came out but...IMO Burnout: Paradise City wins racing game of the year.



Don't Worry.....Be Happy
