    This game is okay. the racing is fun and most of the weapons are cool (except the photon cannon) I HATE the music. Its like a really bland rip off of prodigy from the wipeout xl game. Also sometimes I'm really annoyed at a track instead of looking forward to doing it again.

    Great racing action at its best in this fast paced hovering racer.

    One of the original and most popular PSX titles upgraded for the PS2 should've been a slam-dunk, but despite the graphics being higher resolution they actually look worse thanks to inferior design. The physics are not as raw or convincing, the music is bland, the tracks less interesting and the weapons not as well thought out. As a whole it feels more like one of Wipeout's many copycatsOne of the original and most popular PSX titles upgraded for the PS2 should've been a slam-dunk, but despite the graphics being higher resolution they actually look worse thanks to inferior design. The physics are not as raw or convincing, the music is bland, the tracks less interesting and the weapons not as well thought out. As a whole it feels more like one of Wipeout's many copycats than the real thing and although it compares favourably to most of the clones, it's still comfortably the weakest Wipeout game of the entire series.… Expand

    Taking hairpin turns and navigating loop-the-loops at 500 mph is Wipeout’s equivalent of a boring straightaway.

    There's no next generation oomph that sneaks up and slaps you on the face like that little bald orange man from the old Tango drink ads, no real sense of feeling justified for making that step up from 32- to 128-bit.

    The most accessible, fastest, most potent version of the series. It’s arguably the best of the four games that make up the series, but nobody can deny that’s easily the prettiest.
