Wipeout Pure
This game is nice! It takes the Wipeout
franchise along to the PSP and then shows the world that it still has
what it takes to present all gamers with something that will appeal to
them.
Wipeout is fast paced futuristic racing that looks absolutely lovely on
the hand held format and was the first title that I saw on the unit that
took my breath away. You get to hop into the cockpit of a hovercraft
straight from the future and race them at incredible speeds on some of
the most outrageous tracks around beautiful exotic landscapes.
The sound on Wipeout is an audiophile’s delight with a lot of time and
effort put into making sure that this title looks and sounds like the
real deal. The combination of the roar of the engines, weapons fire and
other environmental sounds is enough to make your pulse race.
One of
the few complaints that gamers might have about the title is that it
occasionally suffers frame rate problems when there is a LOT of action
on the screen, never quite fulfilling it’s potential of 60fps. So other
than a slight shudder when the going gets tough, it’s all good in the
hood.
The
difficulty factor raises itself the further you get through the game
with the higher classes of ship being a lot more like a feisty mare than
the more sedate ponies that come before it. Weapons are similar to
others in the franchise and if you have played a Wipeout game before
then you are not going to feel too lost.
There
is a slight learning curve with the title with emphasis on being able to
make your way around the course and the ever present sharp turns that
will see gamers learning how to manipulate the brakes and gas at the
same time to really rocket around the course.
The
game is simply amazing in terms of its imagery and was the sort of title
that deserves the treatment to the big screen (television). The
attention to detail will have you staggered with even small bystanders
watching the action unfold around them. I can certainly recommend this
as a title for you to show friends who may not be decided on whether or
not to buy a PSP.
There
are heaps of tracks to enjoy but add to a sensational gameplay
experience the ability to have a fantastic wifi gameplay with some
friends. The setup is simple, one of you sets up a match, the rest join
and the rest is history. The only down side is having to restart after
each match!
I
can recommend this one no probs so get out the and love it up!
