    Personally I find this game to be a step backwards from Wipeout Pure. The craft now turn on a dime which lead me to hitting the apex of every corner for the first 30-40 minutes, as I was more used to the drifting nature of previous titles. The soundtrack is not terribly diverse or engaging and the tracks lack the unique neon cyberpunk feel of old. It also succumbs to Fusions reliance on Personally I find this game to be a step backwards from Wipeout Pure. The craft now turn on a dime which lead me to hitting the apex of every corner for the first 30-40 minutes, as I was more used to the drifting nature of previous titles. The soundtrack is not terribly diverse or engaging and the tracks lack the unique neon cyberpunk feel of old. It also succumbs to Fusions reliance on weaponry, as many a time my race was completely ruined on the last straight as number 2 and 3 shot 7 shade of s*** up my rectum. Why can't they give us the weapons off option that was featured in Wipeout 3? Stick with Pure, nothing new or exciting to see here.… Expand

    WipEout's core chemistry is rich and balanced enough to merit continual evolution. [Dec 2007, p.123]

    Developers take note - this is how games for PSP should be made. Keep the controls simple. Structure the action fo rshort, sharp play sessions. And cater for PSP's criminally overlooked online functions. [Nov 2007, p.83]

    Sure, it’s another great instalment of Wipeout, but under the gloss it’s little more. [Dec 2007, p.90]
