Product Description

SCE Studios Liverpool brings the future back with this second Wipeout game for the PSP. This entry in the racing series features 24 new reversible circuits, a load of fresh high-speed vehicles and some deadly new weaponry. There's also a new track feature called the Mag-Strip, which acts like a magnet and temporarily locks ships to the levels, enabling exciting things like loops and vertical drops. Newcomers to the Wipeout franchise will likely revel over the introduction of a training mode, taking you through the basics. A host of new downloadable content is also available, and for even more excitement, this game introduces a new online multiplayer feature, where racers can battle each other at amazing speeds.
An all-new Photo Mode, which captures in-game screenshots and stores them onto the PSP Memory Card. Like Wipeout Pure, the game features downloadable content, such as new tracks, ships and songs, immediately after release. 7 Game Modes, with Single Race, Zone, Tournament, Time Trial and Free Run returning from Wipeout Pure, plus the addition of the all-new Speed Lap mode, and the return of Eliminator mode last seen in Wipeout 3. The new Cannon weapon replaces the Disruptor Bolt from Wipeout Pure. Eliminator mode features 2 all-new weapons exclusive to the game mode - Repulsor and Shurikens. Zone Mode will now be playable on most (but not all) of the normal tracks instead of custom made tracks. A loyalty system, where players get bonuses for using a particular team regularly ESRB Rated E for Everyone

Reviewed on 2008-05-13 Maintains the standard Pros: - Visuals far exceed Wipeout Pure and frame rates are very impressive. A shining example of what can be accomplished on the PSP if you have a great development team. - 24 tracks - Downloadable and customizable skins Cons: - Later levels are punishingly difficult. - In the fastest levels (Phantom) there are sometimes collision detection errors and as a result you collide thru the track even though you shouldn't. - You run out of new tracks long before you run out of races so later levels are basically repeats except faster and with more laps. - Online downloadable tracks appear to be non-existent at this point. - No new innovations over previous Wipeout. Overall fans would be proud to call this part of the Wipeout family. First timers will do just fine with Wipeout Pure.

Reviewed on 2008-02-14 A great addition to the WipEout franchise. PSP owners have been waiting for a new iteration WipEout since the system launched, and here it is at last. And it's great! Faster load times than the original, the ability to use custom soundtracks (in addition to the great soundtrack in-game), and new game-modes mean the WipEout lovers will rejoice! That means... I rejoice! An absolute must-buy for the system. First step? Hit the "add to shopping cart" button at the right of your screen!
