WipEout HD Review

By Dan Whitehead Published 15 September, 2008

Back on track.

Version tested: PlayStation 3

WipEout HD has left me agitated and dissatisfied. Before the usual suspects scamper off to post a comment, with their PS3lols at the ready, perhaps I should clarify. WipEout HD has left me agitated and dissatisfied because the crisp 1080p visuals and rock solid 60fps presentation have made me realise just how compromised the Great HD Gaming Revolution has been.

We've become so accustomed to accepting 720p resolutions and mostly stable 30fps frame rates as the best we can expect that when something really does take full advantage of the display technology available, it can't help make everything else look like a half measure.

In other words, WipEout HD looks f**king phenomenal.

I'm usually the last person to care about the minutiae details of a game's technical presentation, provided the experience is fun. I'm also a firm believer that gameplay is vastly more important than graphics. Yet with WipEout HD the presentation and graphics are arguably the most important elements, since the gameplay is mostly a known quantity - with tracks and features ported across from WipEouts Pure and Pulse on the PSP.

For this generously priced PS3 version (it's GBP 11.99), you get eight tracks culled from the two PSP titles, Pure and Pulse, both of which caused Tom to excitedly rub oily 9/10s all over their firm oak-like thighs. Vineta K, Anulpha Pass, Chengou Project, Sebenco Climb, Ubermall and Sol 2 all appear from WipEout Pure, and are joined by Moa Therma and Metropia from WipEout Pulse. More are planned as downloadable extras, of course.

'WipEout HD' Screenshot photo

All the screenshots in this review were taken and tweaked using the game's own Photo Mode software.

Progression through the campaign mode also takes it cue from Pulse, with a hexagonal grid structure opening up access to adjacent events as you win medals. The campaign is broken down into eight events ranging from Uplift (easy-peasy) to Meltdown (ohmygodwhatshappening) with each new event unlocking as you earn enough points.

Control is exactly as you'd expect, with acceleration and airbrakes still your twin lifelines in the rough and tumble world of high speed futuristic racing. Memorising and hitting the turbo pads remains the key to success. Learning which ramps and jumps can be used to pull off a speed-boosting barrel roll can be the difference between gold and bronze. Weapon deployment is mapped to the square button, while circle allows you to absorb unwanted weapons to repair ship damage.

You can also make use of the optional Sixaxis motion sensing feature, and the game can lay claim to being one of the first PS3 titles to find a truly intuitive use for the function. Motion control comes in two flavours - pitch and steering, or just pitch. Opt for the former and tilting the joypad controls the entire craft. It's fiendishly difficult, if only because it's an entirely new way of playing.

More interesting is the option to just use the motion sensing to control the pitch of your craft. Fly off a ramp, and lifting the joypad raises the nose of your ship. If you're one of those players who sways in their seat while playing a racing game, chances are you'll be doing this anyway - so it feels completely intuitive.

For those who are new to WipEout there's now Pilot Assist, a passive auto-pilot function which nudges you away from track edge. It sounds like a cheat, but it's actually a cleverly balanced little feature. If you race like a lunatic, it won't do you much good and you'll still clang and scrape your way around the circuits. It's less of a sop for rubbish players and more of a gentle helper for intermediate players.

If you're racing well, but haven't quite mastered the air brakes yet, Pilot Assist will pick up some of the slack. Rely on it in the higher speed categories, however, and you'll soon discover its deliberate limitations. Given how uncompromising the series has often been, it's a thoughtful way of opening the game out to newcomers without trashing the delicate racing balance.

This balance is important, since WipEout HD comes with a bunch of multiplayer options. Local split-screen play is a feature that too many games have ditched in this bold new online age, so it's nice to see it retained here - and with no noticeable effect on the frame rate.

Of course online play is also supported, although it is perhaps the one area that feels slightly undercooked. Up to eight racers can take part, but your choices are limited to single races or tournaments only. Competitive modes from the PSP such as Elimination are conspicuous by their absence.

'WipEout HD' Screenshot insane

It's really only by studying the HD snapshots that you appreciate the insane levels of detail in both ships and scenery.

Then there's Photo Mode, which can be activated during the automatic replay at the end of each race. Tap the square button and you can skip from one ship to another, and save your own screenshots. The options are numerous - you change the exposure, saturation, lens focus and add effects such as depth of field or add motion blur to the track or ships. Shots are automatically saved at full 1920x1080 resolution in your console's Photo folder for easy sharing. The only downside is there's no way of rewinding or forwarding the replay from within the Photo Mode itself, so finding a specific moment to capture involves too much trial and error.

But in the end, it all comes down to impact. With its cool, clean design and mixture of chilled ambience and frantic action, WipEout has always been at the heart of the PlayStation brand - so it makes sense that all the stops have been pulled out to make this HD debut something truly stunning.

The extra effort has paid off. The result is a game that commands your attention, ruthlessly hauling your eyes into the flatscreen while tickling your brain with impeccable track design and spine-snapping speeds. Sackboy may be the new face of PlayStation, but the console just hasn't been the same without WipEout. It's great to have it back.

  • Darren #16 3 years ago

    I've been waiting a year for this game so, needless to say, this is an absolutely essential must-have for me (especially at a measly £12) but WHEN IS IT OUT, EG? I mean it's reviewed so it must be imminent, right? Is it released this Thursday? I hope so... :)

  • DB2k #17 3 years ago

    this series is one of the reasons I would get this console. Really looks incredible. That sixaxis control sounds a bit lame as per all sixaxis controls but the game itself looks heaven. However with all the quality 360 titles coming out in the next 2-3 months I need to put a limit somewhere.

  • GamesProgrammer Verified Games Team Programmer, Eutechnyx Ltd. #18 3 years ago

    The reviewer makes a good point about graphical performance but for car games i have always said reguardless of resolution, you need 60fps for it to feel fantastic, as with any game that contains high speed fast reaction gameplay.

  • Darren #19 3 years ago

    Oh and the game runs at 1080p @ 60 fps, which is impressive, but have the devs fixed the screen tearing that was apparent in the earlier videos. I mean it's all very well having a stunning looking, technically impressive game but the whole thing is ruined if there's tearing or bad slowdown IMO.

  • sem1604 #20 3 years ago

    any idea if this is available in physical form or download only

  • SleepyMagpie #21 3 years ago

    Finally something I'll be playing on the glorified blu-ray/DVD upscaler besides movies.. and, oh, yes - Blood Siren.

    Is this a download? Or a boxed release?

    Looks great, shame everything takes so long to download on the PSN (or should that be POS?).

    No mention of Zone mode?
    Also, split screen has no impact on framerate? Apart from halving it, you mean?

    Glad to hear it runs so smoothly too.

    Anyone know if it still has the instrumental of 'Firestarter'? Actually, how come that review made no mention of the music whatsoever, eh? Naughty Dan.

    Anyways, this will be first on the PSN purchase list when I commit to a PS3. Now come on Sony and release a good LBP bundle...

    Download.

    This is a must have for sure! Wonder if we'll see multiplayer functionality enhanced and patched over time? Seems to be fairly standard fare nowadays.

  • Widge #30 3 years ago

    The soundtrack was bang up to date, usual breaks efforts in there (so think Stanton Warriors, Plump DJs stuff), the frankly awesome Fenix Funk by Aphex Twin, Booka Shade etc. So plenty of trendy stuff, a balance between firing breaks and minimal stuff.

    Think the soundtrack looks the same or at least similar to the Pulse one.

    Guessing it has custom soundtracks so I can bolster it with my large swarms of minimal techno!

    I didn't see any tearing or slowdown at all.

  • RedDragan #40 3 years ago

    All,

    This is exclusive to Playstation Store, donwload only... there is no blu-ray release version.

    Also, somebody said that this was overhyped? As was a few other games from the PC and Wii and PS3 only... do us a favour mate, run back to the Halo website... there's plenty of kids there having a mic-fight right now and I thought you'd might wanna join in with them!

    How does the playing your own music thing work, then, Mr. Whitehead? If I pop some AFX in there, will it just play in the background as it would if I were listening outside of the game regardless of where I am in the game, or will the tracks be played intelligently (beginning/ending when races begin/end, sound FX still on)?

    Nice one Sony. Another must have game for Ps3.

  • RazorObsession #68 3 years ago

    never had the reactions to be that great at wipeout, but good on em getting it working smoothly at 1080p.

    i will say with the design of the cars and the tracks, they wouldn't need to be very high polygon models would they? i mean all the vehicles look boxy in some way. they're future cars. that's how they look etc.

    1080p Gran Turismo would be something else tho.

  • saku_luk #69 3 years ago

    After Bionic Commando this is my another must buy from PSN ;p

  • Stuz359 #72 3 years ago

    PS3 is 2.5" SATA drive so any Laptop HD would do and you can get some huge ones now for fairly cheap.

  • johnnybrn #73 3 years ago

    As there are only 8 tracks will there be more to come as DLC? So in the end will you end up spending as much as proper game anyway. Just a thought

    Anyway love Wipeout and look forward to getting this.

    This is the first PS3 game that I'm actually interested in.

    Is it more about the racing or the combat? I always thought that Wipeout was very unfair in it’s balance.

  • bioreit #78 3 years ago

    @ Widge and Beano re: music

    Ta guys. Custom soundtracks here I come!

    On a related note, does anyone have any DLNA / UPNP certified devices in their home and successfully streamed music as a custom soundtrack to their PS3. Just that I'm probably gonna go the Windows Home Server route and stick all my music on that - would be cool to fly round, listening to Chemical Brothers streamed off a server, rather than having to copy all my music to yet *another* device.

    /shakes fist at 360. Gently, mind - don't wanna break it.

  • PrivateJoker #79 3 years ago

    Buying this on day of release, just hope the store updates earlier than usual and doesn't rollover to friday like last week :(...
    Have there been any other games running 1080p at 60fps, if not they should take a leaf out of studio liverpool's book cus' i've heard alot recently about dev's only utilising 30-50% of the PS3's potential.

    P.S. Re: HDD upgrade took me 2 mins to swap drives to a seagate 250gb, it's so simple, youtube it, and it only cost £50 which is an absolute bargain, but we'll see how much space is left after i start using playtv this week :)

  • madgerald Verified Studio Head of PR & Marketing, Colossal Games LTD #80 3 years ago

    Will defo pick this up on my return from my hols.

    Could someone pass me a bucket.


    Can't wait to see this game in the flesh (so to speak), as I don't think screenshots do it justice. Also, £12 = bargain. I wonder if people would prefer a 'full' game with more tracks, campaigns etc.

    EDIT: I should stipulate that I mean 'full price'.

  • Darren #82 3 years ago

    What licensed music does the game come with? I intend ripping transferring my Wipeout 2097: The Soundtrack CD over from my PC onto to my PS3 (once I sort out this 8003041C error which is preventing me from copying MP3s to its HDD, that is) but I'm still curious as to who is on the default soundtrack. The Wipeout music has always been superb IMO.

    I'm no fan of dance/rave/whatever kids call it today music; but this game fits that genre so well.

  • PrivateJoker #99 3 years ago

    @chufty "Would the 360 version get a 10?"

    Lol, the 360 would meltdown if the dev's attempted a port of this blistering masterpiece, and I aint a fanboy, sold my xbox360( which I loved in its day) in March this year as it had hit its peak in my opinion and the PS3 was the only and best option: Blu-ray won the format war, LBP(GOTY without doubt), Home, MGS4, and i must say how the PSN has improved tremendously since I joined in March, the quality thats coming through there is awesome and you'll never see that on XBLA or WiiWare i'm afraid due to their file size limits. There isn't a day where I think, damn it!, wish I aint traded in my xbox like that CNN reporters kid but, he'll grow up one day.

    Unfortunately I'm shit at it but the 1080p 60fps plus motion controls & online play will keep me hooked.

    Sony - Psygnosis bailed you out.

    Killer app = PS3 purchase.

    WipEout 3 will be my first PS3 (PSN) purchase. I'll see when I can buy it on impulse.

    I need a new couch and wooden floor first.

  • Apologie #104 3 years ago

    PS3 is the best value for your money, multiplayer for free, great games, blu-ray etc... and, withought a doubt, it's the only truly revolutionary piece of hardware in the market "Cell processor", would you consider revolutionary upgrading your computer??? because that's what the Xbox360 is, a medium spec computer, nothing more... i cant call that new gen.

    great review and good game by the way... cant wait to play it.

    PS: before someone starts calling me bad things, i must say that im not a fanboy, i have both consoles and like them both... i just happen to logically prefer the Ps3.

    you cant argue with that, Cell is revolutionary and can drastically contribute to better A.I and Physics in games... wich makes the Ps3 very untapped in terms of power and much more future proof then any of it's rivals, some designers even say that creating games for Cell is far less complicated than writing for PlayStation 2, they just need some time to adapt... its proven that the average PS3 software, till today, only managed to use 10% of its brain... imagine what will happen in the future.

    Yes, the Ps3 is not an upgrade, it's revolutionary both in format (blu-ray) and in architecture (Cell Processor), not a fanboy, just stating facts here, and it's withough a doubt the only nex gen product in the market.

    This isnt any technical landmark at all its a game thats 60fps at 1080p... even on the PS3(dont even start on the 360), theres very little to be amazed about, the shots are even taken in a photo mode... where are the usual comments about it being missleading OR the graphics being simplified to acheive high framerates at a high res? Oh its a Sony exclusive? gotcha ;)

    Apolol is still the most amusing "technical expert" in gaming I see and whats this "before anyone calls me a fanboy" OMG!!!(I almost spat my tea out)... posts still full of complete bullshit statements but the funny kind of bullshit which no one in their right mind beleives or takes seriously, so I geuss thats why some people "tololerate" him.

    ok, it's understandable, while one had to wait 2 years for a 9 game, and the oppurtunity to say "the powa of the c3ll!", that thing that was supposed to power from fridges to cell phones.

    Anyway, it's also funny to hear that one prefers "da c3ll" because that is "next-gen" not because of what it really does (or don't), but I'll take note of that, soon a next-next-gen will spawn, the speech will change by then.

    "Prolly cos, shock, horror, it's not a shooter ... "

    I still say alot rides on how well GT5 is recieved that game is a big one for Sony if that doesnt turn things around for them then it could spell trouble... not to mention the budget being spent on it, killzone 2 also has alot riding on it but marketed well it will sell regardless of the quality/bad reviews.

    Calgon, Just as you're personnally inclined to not "get" LBP, I'm personnally inclined to say that until 360 has a game that matches this graphical fidelity I can't believe 360 can match it. But I'm happy to be proved wrong... not by technical mumbo jumbo, but by the games that are produced.

  • miiiguel #118 3 years ago

    @Rash', I meant exclusives. Anyway..., this almost made me fork for a PS3, but then *someone* remind me of Apolol and minions. Thanks a lot... :/

  • GamesConnoisseur #119 3 years ago

    I was very heartened to see a great score for WipEout HD and certainly a must buy and another reason to MUST own PS3 certainly (other than LBP, MSG4 and Blu Ray for me!).

    I sighed heavily when seeing the usual techno quote guy dissing X360 and say PS3 is supreme being or similar. We know PS3 certainly have a lot of potential and it innit this a shame that its took PS3 this long to make its point so resoundingly clear?!

    Uncharted, Motorstorm, Rachet & Clank are few other exclusive that PS3 would be glad to own but certainly not head or shoulder above that of the other exclusives on other consoles. LBP and WipEout HD and perhaps MSG4 are certainly more interesting of the titles out now or coming imminently.

    Hard Rain are one other title that I think would be a real feather in the cap for Sony but still some times away.

    "I'm no fan of dance/rave/whatever kids call it today music; but this game fits that genre so well. "

    I wouldn't be caught dead just listening to the music in this game on my stereo/iPod (though I would have had a different opinion ten years ago), but for me it also fits the game (playing WipEout Pulse on the PSP at the moment) really well.
    But custom playlists is certainly a nice option to have - and also one it would really only be reasonable to expect more games to offer than is currently the case.

  • #123 3 years ago

    @Calgon...

    This isnt any technical landmark at all its a game thats 60fps at 1080p... even on the PS3(dont even start on the 360), theres very little to be amazed about, the shots are even taken in a photo mode...

    Im not disagreeing with you mate, just interested in what you mean by that.

  • Calgon #124 3 years ago

    Rash' you are taking the piss right? Its already been done just not in the same way... most of the workload is spent on acheiving the framerate and resolution... its not like its doing more, theres not alot of textures and theres not alot of geometry... there is NO reason to beleive this cant be done on 360... "dont give me your technical mumbo jumbo = I will cling onto things I know not to be true aslong as I am able to".

    It doesnt even look that special anyway... and thats just looks, technically the only impressive things are 1080p at 60fps... you wouldnt even admit it short of the exact game being ported to 360. Is this because like Apolol because you prefer to live in denial about PS3 being more powerfull? Is it because it was one of the reasons you justified the cost of the console and without it you'd feel like a bit of a jackass? Perhaps, I dont really care I just find some of the things said here absurd you dont even need to know much about the consoles to see theres alot of bullshit in this thread thats been imprinted by Sony's shameless marketing tricks/lies.

  • Rash' #125 3 years ago

    Calgon, There's hasn't been that much for you to come in spouting your opinionated backlash. Most on here have been praising the fantastic game and price. Whether the game looks special or not is certainly a matter of opinion and yours, it's plain to see, is in the minority.

  • Calgon #126 3 years ago

    DaemonB Photomode you mean?

    Well since this isnt gameplay circumstances a lot of processing power and time is free'd up from things that would otherwise be eating up processing time and bandwidth. Even if it is a little different in this game in that regard... theres almost always post processing effects and Anti-Aliasing added to the capture = Its not like a direct screen grab when someones sat playing it(what you'll be seeing when you sit down and play it).

    Anyway I've grown tired of the never ending sillyness of it all regarding console X vs console Y... some fanboys really need to beleive what they want to beleive theres no discussing it with them its useless.

  • Calgon #127 3 years ago

    Rash' hang on I never said it doesnt look good, it does... I just said its not some landmark on its technical merrits because theres very little reason to beleive that. You yourself stated you beleive this is a game the 360 cannot acheive? That is pretty amusing and exactly the sort of comment I was talking about.

    I didnt I was going to write a pretty sensible post(which I got around to) but reading through the fanboy comments I felt the urge to leave the thread not before pointing out what was wrong with those comments.

    I rarely post in PS3 threads(check my post history and see for yourself) and now I remember why. Really I never bashed the game in anyway just gave my opinion of it, someone who visits 360 threads as often as you do will know compared to any 360 release this thread would cause confusion... "where are the trolls???" would be the question on everyones mind.

    I'm looking forward to it too.

    If the 360 was fortunate enough for WipEout HD to made made for it (which it isn't and never will be), it'd look exactly the same. All this 360/PS3 bashing does my head in.

  • Ryze #149 3 years ago

    Yes - this title has been engineered to run at 1080p 60fps.

    Therefore the developers would have had to play through each track and take out detail at any point in the game that shows too much for the engine to keep up the 60fps.

    It's nice when you can do this - and I'm happy about it, but it's ultimately cheating, and could be done on the 360 if the game was not an exclusive by a now in-house dev.

    It's almost the opposite of what R* do with GTA. They focus on the game and alow the frame rate to dip with priority given to creaativity and creating an interesting interactive world.

    As long as the game turns out good then I'm happy.

    I seriously fail to see the reason to the slagfeast thats going around but then again, it seems all good games get alot of comments and way too much zealotry/trolling/*fanboyism.

    One tip to all , its kinda odd to see the same faces (i read EG daily) jump into threads and topics they actually resent, just to post bullshit... like theyre trying to protect their investment (NOOOO, this game can't be good, i put all my money on the Xbox360 and this game is for the rival so the game must be really bad and EG sucks bla bla ... and ofcourse VICE VERSA (yes ps3fanboys/zealots).
    This is the main reason why i simply don't like the Internet, its so full of people who think theyre Number One and everything they say is right.

    My sister bought a Wii last christmas there with Super Mario something or other, played for about 15mins, Harry potter, still in plastic cover and Resident Evil, quite good but never finished it. I don't think it has been turned on in the last 6months and with the influx of quality games comin up on PS3 in the next while i'm considerin packin it up and tradin it in without her knowledge.

    As for the my console is better than yours people are going to say the one they own is best even if they don't believe so, so it's better not to get involved with it. I've always owned playstations so thats why I got a PS3 and don't have any regrets, both consoles have their pros and cons and we will only see in a few years what they are capable of.

    As for owning both consoles, I spent way too much money gettin a decent set-up for my PS3 to even consider gettin a 360, that and more PS3 games appeal to me than games on 360 and I don't really like the 360 controller, remember personal opinion.

    Played the original WipEout years ago, this looks excitin so def gonna splash out that £12 on it, it's only a few days before the student loan comes in as well so the overdraft might extend for a few days!

    Calgon... I don't know why you are wasting your time writing garbage on here if you have no interest in the PS3, but i'd just like to say the last 2 consoles i owned were the 360 and original xbox and before them it was always Nintendo, they were brilliant( well Gamecube maybe not :) The PS3 is the first Playstation console i've owned and from having a 360 for over 3 years and the dreaded ring of death in my opinion in just over 6 months of owning a PS3, the PS3 is a better machine in all aspects not just gaming and anyway I know when LBP is released alot of xbox fanboys and such are going to be secretly drooling over the game and wanting it and I won't be surprised if they either buy a 2nd console or trade in their xbox's, i did and have already payed for LBP in not having to pay £5 a month XBL Gold fee :).
    I don't think I'm alone in saying LBP will be the biggest thing in gaming since space invaders and pac-man, sort of re-inventing the wheel( in a felt/cushiony sackboy way:) and one more thing, do you go back and forth between xbox and PS3 threads? cus' that's sad if it's true. I've never been on an Xbox forum and never felt the need to, especially to bash whatever their hyping or whatever. Just stick to what you have an inherent interest in, makes sense to me.

    Leftfield albums are amazing, Orbitals In Sides (including PETROL) and Snivilisation all good, there is a great Underworld anthology out there too. I'm probably going to dive into Squarepusher's Hello Everything, get Chemical Brothers It Began In Afrika on the go.... loads of stuff.

    This look great! Day 1 download for me!

    As for the hordes of 360 fan girls.. No one here cares about your obsessive Butt F***ing with your crapbox/paperweight.

  • Widge #177 3 years ago

    yes. you go girl. fight that console war. I hope you win.

  • DAN.E.B #178 3 years ago

    finally a reason to blow the dust off
    i will be getting this
    shame its not in dts hd tho just spent a stupid amount of money on new amp and this would sound great in 7.1
    saying that it will probably sound great regardless.

  • ps3owner #179 3 years ago

    @k109 "...or even install it on the HDD ready to go. "

    that's a really good idea... they should release a bundle for XMAS with 1 blu ray, 1 game (LBP) and 5 games from the online store pre-installed (including this). for £299

    I am sure that would sell.

    re article:

    game: looks good, good price, will get it.
    comments: look good but usual crap, good read though. keep it up :)
    day: so far so good. NYSE will open shortely, looking forward to the blood bath. entertaining stuff.

  • Widge #180 3 years ago

    I'm sure I heard Sony were doing pre-installed games one day, or was that on the PSP?

    @tnt_2008smum

    How can i be a fanboy, retard. Read again, i liked my xbox 360, it just run out of steam and again it's just my opinion, it amazes me the amount of childish remarks on these forums but i'm probable twice as old as most people on here but I cant seem to grow up when it comes to games :)

  • corbeen #182 3 years ago

    What??? 9/10??? And you gave MGS 4 8/10? That's why i dont care about your reviews.

  • tnt_2008smum #183 3 years ago

    @PrivateJoker

    I think you’re the one who needs to read again! You are a fanboy because you post stupid fanboy comments!

    You stupid fanboy dick!

    I think the new PS3 bundle that comes to EU will have a 70 Euro credits included so you can download games from PSN! thats sweet for new ppl, and me...since right now I am abusing my bro's PS3 ;p will buy my own next year when bigger HDDs will be bundled in ;p

    Can't wait for this really, I recently got my hands on star dust, man.....PSN has really neat games xD should I try warhawk too? oO

  • 3william56 #185 3 years ago

    Yes you should. It's brilliant, particularly if you're not already a hardcore online FPS junkie and want an introduction into online wargames.

    And it has jetpacks. What more do you want.

  • Fleeby #186 3 years ago

    At last, a game I want to buy for my PS3... more of this please, Sony.

  • theloz #187 3 years ago

    This game looks obscene, quite frankly. I want it so hard.

  • VMerken #188 3 years ago

    Been ages since I played WipeOut, can't really go wrong with the formula and at that price, I'm there. Oh, and better than MGS4 it seems, wow!

    When is it available to download? Its the 25th now. Nothing up on the store yet. What time on the release date do products usually become available for download?

  • Zebula77 #190 3 years ago

    Around five-ish I think. That's when I usually check the store anyways.

  • Zebula77 #191 3 years ago

    I pretty much bought my PS3 because I knew this was coming. If I didn't already own it, now would be the time I'd get it. ;)
    And I'm not disappointed in the least.

  • sneetch #192 3 years ago

    Awesome and cheap to boot. Go WipEout!
