    The single components of this WipEout-clone aren't that bad. Tracks are nicely done, the gameplay is ok, the idea of weapon-loadouts feels fresh at the beginning. But the further you play into the campaign, the more you realise those components do not fit together at all. The tracks are too narrow for the maneuvers you'd like to do, the weapons have no real effects on hit gliders (exceptThe single components of this WipEout-clone aren't that bad.

The tracks are too narrow for the maneuvers you'd like to do, the weapons have no real effects on hit gliders (except for the damage towards destruction) the loadout menues are faulty (no renames, mod have to be bought for both sides seperately, and towards the end of career mode the game throws lots of funless events at you, that don't really relate to "racing". It was interesting in the beginning, annoying in the middle and a chore towards the end. This had the potential to be an "ok" WipEout-clone but screwed it in almost every possible way.… Expand

    Without a doubt Pacer is a love letter to Wipeout. It successfully manages to evoke the thrill and fun of Psygnosis’ iconic racer while also injecting its own flavour to the mix. But importantly, where other Wipeout wannabes have failed to me hooked, Pacer keeps me coming back for more instead of making me want to go play Wipeout.

    Ironically, the futuristic theme and the year in which it debuted, 2020, makes PACER a beautiful journey to the past we aspired at the end of the 90s.

    I wish that Pacer tried to forge its own identity instead of being another WipEout clone because it's simply not as good of a game.
