Easily One of the Funnest/Best Racing Games of My Life

This game is a bit different than the popular racing games now, but it's like Burnout 3 but faster and with better gameplay. If you don't like techno you'll hate the soundtrack, but no matter who you are the weapon system in this game makes this wayyy better than any other racing game I've played. Everyone likes making/winning sweet cars in Gran Turismo, which has much better career options and top notch graphics, but there is NOTHING as good as Wipeout XL's phantom class when it comes to racing.
I get the feeling that people who rate this game low haven't learned to play it, and I completely disagree that Wipeout 3 is at all better than XL. Some other good titles are Rollcage and even better Rollcage 2, but the awesome gameplay of XL just isn't there. SNES also has a much more primitive version of Wipeout XL called Top Gear 3000, which is simple but fun and fast too.
The reason I bought a PlayStation

Ok, quite simply, this game is the single reason that I bought a PlayStation back in the day. I recently moved and decided to plug in my PlayStation on my new big screen just for old time sake. Wow. The graphics are horrible compared to current gen systems. I mean they really, really suck. In fact, the graphics weren't even that great back in the 90's either. But the game play is still the best! You can't beat the electric crackle as you skid your ship through a tight corner at insane speeds, constantly on the verge of slamming into a wall. The reaction times and shear dedication it takes to be an expert at this game is fantastic. It's more of an art form in concentration than a simple video game. I wish more games were built with such high standards that make this a modern classic.
