    The game is good. It's cooler than F-Zero X in technical specs. But what a ****? If you have 2 playstation gamepads, you can't play with your friend offline and you need PlayStation Link Cable and original FAT console!

    Psygnosis has managed to improve WipeOut to such a degree that even those that hated the original will find WO2097 accessible and rewarding to play... WipeOut 2097 is a scorcher!

    The best arcade racer of its type on any format. While it takes some time to master the controls, it is time very well spent as it reveals this game to be a true classic.

    The graphics are absolutely gorgeous, with some of the best light sourcing and effects ever. The control is smooth, the gameplay is fast, and the music is just awesome.
