Wipeout Pure retains all of the playability and longevity of the original games. The main racing league modes see you racing against 7 computer controlled craft, and you must pass the finishing line alive with a gold to be able to unlock more races and bonus gallery pictures.
Along your race you must negotiate sharp turns and avoid the traps and weapons that your enemies use to slow you down. Many of the familiar weapons are here: land mines, plasma bolt, and the big bomb. There are also speedup and defense shield items as well as a ray for disrupting the control of an enemy ship (although it doesn’t seem to work well against computer enemies).
The energy refilled pits have been abolished in favour of a weapon energy consumption method. Instead of using a pickup, you can use it to recover some of your ships energy. Helps you last longer, but because of the frequency and availability of powerups, its now rare to be able to destroy an enemy ship.
There are several racing modes and tracks to test your skill, as well as different speed classes for each. There’s a Ghost mode that lets you race against your fastest times, and it can be saved to your memory stick.
This game looks great, feels great, and is great. With the promise of new downloadable features like skins, race crafts and tracks, it can only get better. Also, there is a way to hack the games included browser that is used to download said features, to work as a regular Internet browser. However, I have not been able to try this yet because as of the time of writing I have no wireless Internet. So, in conclusion, this game rocks. If you’re a fan of racing and own a PSP, you need this
