    This game is frigging horrible. With the visual aesthetic of Wipeout and the promise of a more story driven approach and a leveling system for your ships I was very excited only to succumb to total disappointment. This simple game boils down to a mere 4 controls. Left right brake and boost. The gameplay is extremely bland, dodging barriers and enemies, and then to enter a "wormhole" modeThis game is frigging horrible. With the visual aesthetic of Wipeout and the promise of a more story driven approach and a leveling system for your ships I was very excited only to succumb to total disappointment. This simple game boils down to a mere 4 controls. Left right brake and boost. The gameplay is extremely bland, dodging barriers and enemies, and then to enter a "wormhole" mode that leaves you frustrated as its lack of visual depth and dimension make the all to precious items you pick up there wildly difficult to hit, as you can't tell where they actually are. This coupled with the overly wordy comic scenes and the constant reminder that you are not on the PSN (between every race it prompts you to log in....no matter what network functions can not be disabled) when you are away from home, or the network is down. STAY AWAY. PERIOD.… Expand

    Despite looking like Wipeout it is a racer where you switch tracks to avoid obstacles and gain speed by hitting ramps. The excellent original Playstation Mobile was a fast game where you tried to beat certain times to progress. For some reason they ruined the game by making progression by gathering orbs from this inexplicable horrible free 3D sections that occur mid way through a level.Despite looking like Wipeout it is a racer where you switch tracks to avoid obstacles and gain speed by hitting ramps.

For some reason they ruined the game by making progression by gathering orbs from this inexplicable horrible free 3D sections that occur mid way through a level. You then lose and orb if you hit an obstacle. Until the mid section of the game where you gain orbs it really doesn't matter what you are doing as long as you don't die. Also the game seems about half as fast as the original and it makes it really boring. They added a lot of story and narration that nobody wanted. I can't believe they screwed up this game so bad and had the gall to charge $19 for it.… Expand

    Highly addictive!!! Like Temple Run in space. Great graphics and ultra fast gameplay. If you like Whipout (like me, since PS1) you will love this one! Recommended!

    Switch Galaxy Ultra is a revamp of the PS Mobile title Switch Galaxy, which itself was a follow-up to the iOS/Android game called Switch. This successor offers more impressive visuals and more levels, but the flawed structure, controls, and general repetitiveness result in a wreck on the track.

    There is certainly a good game in Switch Galaxy Ultra, it is rather addictive and fantastic on a visual level, but it's likely that you won't want to spend much time with it as it is a fairly repetitive game with not much variety on offer. Perhaps use your reflexes and scoop this up when it's at a cheaper price point.

    As Switch Galaxy Ultra shows, that may not be the perfect formula, but it's enough to make an alright game.
