Wipeout Pure

Wipeout Pure

Strengths: Shows off what the PSP can do. Excellent graphics. Holds true to the first wipeout released.

Weakness: Not necessarily ground breaking. I expected content from the internet by now, when I access it through the game itself.

I usually don’t play racing games and I mostly stick exclusively to FPS games. This is my first (and as of right now my only) game for my PSP. I never owned a PS2 and never played any of the Wipeout games on it, however, when I got the PS1 in 1995, Wipeout was my first game. Coincidence? Yes! Same feeling from 1995? Absolutely! I used to play Wipeout on the PS1 for hours with my friends; that...

Wipeout Pure PSP

Strengths: Nice graphics, challenging game

Weakness: Not that entertaining

Overall this is a nicely designed game with good graphics and vehicle response. I bought it at the launch of the PSP because it seemed like one of the better PSP titles that were available. After playing it for a while, it really just seems like another racing game where the key to winning is being the person not to crash last. The controls respond well and the physics feel right for the game. If...

Wipeout Pure PSP

Strengths: Great Graphics, Ad Hoc Play

Weakness: Hard to control

Wipeout Pure is one of 2 racing games released at launch for the PSP. Personally, I think I would of rather purchased Ridge Racer. I find the ships extremely hard to control, and I have been practicing with them for quite sometime. It gets to the point of frustration, where the game just doesnt seem fun anymore. The great graphics can only get this game so far. 8 Players can play together, which...

Wipeout makes a great jump onto the PSP

Strengths: Great graphics, nice sense of speed, downloadable content, online multiplayer

Weakness: Can get repetitive

Wipeout Pure is an excellent portable futuristic racer that really shows off the graphical power of the PSP. The sense of speed in this game is excellent, although it does seem somewhat slower than its console counterparts. The controls are implemented well, but the ships can sometimes feel floaty around turns. There are a nice assortment of power-ups to collect as you race including various...

Sony Wipeout Pure

Strengths: Amazing graphics, downloadable content, great sense of speed for a handheld racer

Weakness: Very difficult

Wipeout Pure was the first game I bought for my launch-day PSP. It definitely showed off the system. Having been used to GameBoy games up till that point I was very impressed with both the graphics and sound on this title. To this day, it remains one of the best PSP titles available. What sets is apart from many of the other racers (and there are quite a few for the PSP relative to other types of...

futuristic racer that scores big on the PSP

Strengths: lots of track, downloadable content, great music, great graphics, lots of replay value

Weakness: framerate suffers at times, lots of unnecessary screens upon bootup, moderate load times

Wipeout Pure is a very good racer on the PSP. The crafts are more floaty in this version and goes back to the roots of the Wipeout franchise. There's about 12 tracks in the game, with additional tracks that can be downloaded from the Wipeout Pure homepage in the future. There's already 4 downloadable tracks at this time, with more tracks still coming out, making it a possble 20+ tracks once...

Wipeout Pure

Strengths: Impressive 3D graphics, improved handling over the PS2 game, improved weapons

Weakness: Could be repetitive after awhile, slightly loose ship controls

Again, another rehashed Playstation title, and this time, a Playstation launch title. Wipeout games have been plenty and since it's initial debut on the Playstation, pretty unremarkable. So how does the new Wipeout Pure stack up on the PSP? Not too shabby, actually. Wipeout Pure is basically a small frills, but graphically impressive futuristic racing game. Race around the track at mind numbing...

Wipeout Pure

Strengths: +Graphics, +Gameplay

This is a simple racing game that all the ages will enjoy. Had I not played ridge racer, I would have said this was the best racing game for the PSP. This is nonetheless a simple yet enticing and entertaining game. I would definately pick it up.

Return of a classic

Strengths: Excellent production values. Plenty of downloadable content update packs.

Weakness: Floaty control.

Being that you ARE racing hover cars of sorts, you should expect inertia to play a large role on the handling of your vehicle. For the most part, you will get used to controlling your vehicle as the game eases you along towards higher speeds. The game only ships with a handful of tracks but it works in its favor, as by the time you win your way towards the lightning-speed ranks you'll have...
