Wipeout will keep you coming back for more

The speed, the ships, the courses are superb. This title continues to set the level against which all race games are measured. There is more than just racing to this. Unlock the zone and you will never be able to leave, trying to get to the next zone. There is no limit to the number of zones.

Enjoy the feeling of seeing your oponent disappear through the force of a quake. Use your air brakes to make the jump and take you round the corners of the corkscrew. Addictive as hell, not to be missed.

As good as it get for now

As a wipeout fan from the beginning, i have only seen the game itself get better and better. This one is just like all the rest, same type except bigger faster, more things to unlock, and when i say more things to unlock, i mean it. the music score is one of the best in the industry, it is rare to find that kind of music in todays games, but once you race a few tracks, get used to the controls, you get hooked and it is hard to put the game down, i bought because i am a fan of the old, if you never played the wipeout series before, then this is a good one to start at.

bigger and better- To say this game is all about looks is krazy!! Fusion is off the hook. what more could you ask for there's 42 tracks in fusion (where there is only "8" in XL), not only that, the tracks are wider and longer! fusion has 16 crafts, and in "XL" there are only "5"!! And that Zone mode is the bomb!! i have mad fun playin' this game!! what is there not too like; they play the same!!

Even though fusion has that little frame rate problem at times, everyone talks like the frame rate in XL was perfect!! it had the same problems!!

tougher- The fact that the enemies use all of the weapons is even better!! the thing I like most about this game is that you are never guarenteed a victory (even when your in first), were in "XL", once you hit first, it's nearly imposible to lose!!

As far as the weapons go, fusion makes better use of them!! "In XL" the things i,ve always hated when you have your sheild on; you weren't allowed to use any weapons untill the sheilds worn off, "in fusion" you can!!! now you can place one mine at a time instead dropping all at once with one press!!

I was always down with wipeout since the first one! i'm not sayin' XL [is bad], but proving that Fusion is better!! and i gotta tell ya;
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!

High speed mayhem guarenteed

This game is just one hell of a challenge. If you like your gaming fast and hard then this is it.
Graphics are very good, the tracks are varied and always look good (sometimes it would be nice to just stand and stare but there's always races to win and enemies to beat)and sound is top notch but it's the gameplay that does it for me. When I play a game I like to have the difficulty setting just right so that I get a kick out out of finally achieving a win. Wins that come too easy just fade but hard victories are sweet.

One thing that I just can't seem to do is get perfect laps. It is very hard to avoid hitting the sides. This is not so important in arcade or league modes as you can pit in or give your craft a boost in shield strength but in challenge mode when you need to do fast laps it is critical especially if you want gold - getting bronze/silver is always within reach with a bit of practice but to get gold you gotta be something else. That's the way it should be though, golds should not come without a lot of effort.

The action is fast and furious in arcade and particularly in league as you need to perform well over 3 to 7 races.

In short if you are a speed freak then this is the one. It's a damn sight better than Extreme G3 which I found frustrating because your momentum and shields were well and truly lost if you collided with the sides. WF lets you get on with the action with hitting the sides only becoming an issue if you want to really progress in the game.

The game keeps track of the playing time and I been playing this game for about 60 hours now and it still rocks. Get it!

Bam! has a winner!

Played this game while at the E3 Expo in California. I'm a great fan of the franchise and the game totally was great.

The first PS2 game that I can't stop playing

I go back to the original Wipeout in the tall box for the (now called) PSOne and have always loved this series. This latest installment does not disappoint. Highly recommended for any racing game fan.

PROS
* Very different handling characteristics for each ship - you'll have to alter your driving style when you switch teams
* Upgradeability of each ship, although this gets rather easy once you've got at least one super-ship in the stable
* Beautiful graphic design of ships, courses, menus, etc.
* Different modes of play (career/league, mission/challenges, etc.) plus plenty of courses plus different vehicles equals limitless gameplay

CONS
* Occasional graphic flaws (clipping, going off-course) lead to head-scratching moments
* Some individual challenges are extremely challenging to the point of frustration

The Fastest and the best futuristic racer to date!!!!

An excellent introduction to the game giving you a good idea of what it is going to be about, as soon as you start playing you will be able to pick up the controls quite easily, but the same cannot be said about the handling of the crafts. They take some skill to master but the crafts cover all sorts of gamers from amatuers to pros without being to difficuilt straight away for starters.

Graphics are highly impressive with some very nice visual touches, presentation is slick and its overall playability will keep drawing you in time after time. A good soundtrack accompanies the game very well, if you are looking for a polished, futuristic racing game then this will be ideal for you.
