    Going about 600 scale miles per hour it is nearly impossible to discern what's going on with your gauges, not to mention the fact that it's really tough to know when you're about to destroy yourself...Only the most jaded of Wipeout players will feel cheated by purchasing this game and even they'll secretly have fun.

The standard tracks and craft from WO3 give you a total of 192 single races to win on Vector, venom and Rapier speeds, and that's not including the tournaments or challenges. The special edition's extra 8 classic tracks from W'O'' and WO2097 double that number, and there are brand new challenges and tournaments on the classic tracks as well. Multiplayer is great - if you can find anyone as good as you to play it with!! It's really, really good. It doesn't feel as fast as 2097 but at least it isn't Fusion!… Full Review »

The graphics really push the PSX to the limit and pop-up is not an issue. Great track design and music round out the long list of features that make Wipeout 3 one of the best racers of all time.… Full Review »

The tournaments are incredibly hard, and I still haven't finished the game, and it's like 2 years later. But still, the series (and this 3rd installment) are brilliant!… Full Review »
