Pure Entertainment 30/06/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Awesome graphics, varied and fast gameplay, downloadable content and superb music
Disadvantages No online multiplay

The Sony PSP is currently the center of attention for every gadget fan. Boasting impressive 3D visuals to rival the current home consoles, stereo CD quality sound effects, a huge 16:9 widescreen TFT LCD screen and WiFi connections, it certainly is an impressive piece of equipment. But just like any other console ever made, it would be nothing without the awesome games to play on it - and luckily there are no disappointments on that front either as Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Studio Liverpool have managed to produce this absolute stunner of a launch title. Wipeout was one of the ... more

Racing purity 16/02/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Graphics are amazing, great gameplay
Disadvantages very few

Way back in 1995, when I was a wee lad, a new type of racing game was launched for the sony playstation. Wipeout hit the console like a wave crashing onto a beach. Graphically superb, and with one of the best soundtracks that has ever been heard on a console game. Instantly I was won over, and gave this game loads (possibly too much.) of my valuable time. So, to say that I was excited to see that the game was re-vamped, and available for the psp is an understatement of mammoth proportion. The game was originally created in 2005. ten years after the original game on the PS1. It was created to ... more

Wipeout on PSP 23/10/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Brilliant graphics, Wi-fi for 8 players, downloadable content
Disadvantages no online play

At the moment Wipeout pure is the or one of the best racing games for the Sony PSP. This game is set in the future and also is like death match race where you can pick up a range of different weapons and fire them at other ships. If you damage the other ships enough they will explode and the ships will be out of the race. The game has a number of difficulties with interesting AI to race against. Wipeout Pure is set in the future year 2197. A new anti gravity racing league, the FX300 is starting up. It's up to you and your ship to win the races. Wipeout Pure isn't offering anything new to the ... more

Fast and furious future flying! 18/03/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Fast and furious future racing
Disadvantages Very addictive

Put simply, WipEout Pure is a hugely entertaining, thrilling ride. Or more accurately, many rides! It is very fast, very furious and very very addictive! The premise of the game is very simple indeed - pick a ship, fly it in a race against five others over a track, win the races, win the prizes and unlock new tracks etc to progress through the game. However, what this doesn't tell you is that, throughout the courses, there a many bonuses to pick up (by flying over) which range from boosting your speed momentarily (allowing you to zoom past your opponents, which is superbly satisfying!) through ... more

Pure..um.. WipeOut 12/03/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Fun, addictive, great multiplayer
Disadvantages No online, can ger repetitive

WipeOut is a futureistic hovercraft racing game. I got WipeOut cheap in HMV as it is now quite dated because it was one of the PSP release titles. I had a WipeOut game for the PS2 so I though I'd give it a try. You control you hovercraft with either the Analogue stick or the D-Pad with the standard "X" button for accelerate. The L and R shoulder buttons are your left and right "air brakes" used for sharp corners you cannot make with normal steering. You can obtain weapons from coloured pads on the ground, as well as speed boosts (a neon blue pad). The weapons are a fun feature to the game ... more

WipEout Pure for PSP 25/10/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Ships, music, downloads, tracks, race modes...everything!
Disadvantages No online

This is the first game I bought for my PSP, and I got it on release date. There are many good points about WipEout Pure, such as all the spacecraft, tracks, and music. What makes it more enjoyable than my other PSP game (Ridge Racer) is that there is many different race modes. There is standard race, tournaments, time trial and zone (get around the track in a super fast ship without blowing up). The weapons are great, and they are plentiful, making it even more fun. There are also boost pads which add to the race against your opponents. There are a lot of ships all totally varying in spec. to ... more

Best racing title for psp 16/11/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Downloadable Content, Stable, Racing with weapons
Disadvantages Not very diverse weaponery available, terrible music, no online play

WipeOut is a very popular series of futuristic racing games, with the added challenge of an arsenal of weapons. In order to take sharp corners you will have to learn how to use the L and R airbrakes. Although this is a great game it is slightly let down by the music tracks, although that is not a great reason to avoid buying this game. At first i thought the game was quite small, but... it clearly isn't, currently you can download 5 extra tournaments and race them at five different speed/difficulty levels. If that wasn't enough the wi-fi enables you to play an up to 8 player game with your ... more

Disadvantages not enough levels and to easy

I bought this game with my psps and the game was great it has great graphics and gameplay but the only downful was that there aint very many levels and that i found that game was a bit to easy but great if you like racing games and shot um up games. the game has some great music tracks but there aint many different weapons to get and you have to go on the x to get weapons and on the arrow to get a boast so that disapointed me you do get bored after a little while but i say a must have towards a collection of games one of the best games that came out on psp. great for people who love to play ... more

This game is set in the year 2197 and you as a pilot drives a hovercraft at high speeds around the many tracks in the game. The game progresses as you race in various tournaments and attempt to stay ahead of the pack so you can unlock medals which will enventually lead to new hovercrafts being unlocked as well as extra tracks being added. Initially you start off in the Vector class which is the slowest of the five but as you progress more and more you begin to unlock some of the higher classes such as the Venom and Flash ones where the difficulty of your opponents begin to increase and the the ... more

Advantages this action racing game is well worth the money
Disadvantages no disadvantages

this fast paced racing games is well worth the money and it passes the time. it is well worth it. i would reccomend for anyone who likes racing games. if you are new to the game it may take a while to get used to. i would definetly rate this as a excellent game. i would say that this is the best wipeout pure game so far by far. it is jam packed with what you would expect. it is an explosive vision of the future and Hi-tech weapons, hi-octane speed and a high-tempo dance soundtrack so how could you refuse. the soundtrack has been specially created a range of top artists so you know the music is ... more
