Wipeout Pure - Sony PSP

He had this game when he was younger and he loved it and he still does

I was so excited to finally get this game in the mail. I could not wait to open it and play it, but when I sat down and played it, I absolutely hated it and wound up putting it down almost instantly. I wanted to love it, I tried my hardest to like it, I even tried to force myself to like it, but I can't do it.First, controlling the vehicles is not too bad, the schematics are pretty good. However the handeling of the vehicles is an absolute nightmare. There is no middle ground, the vehicles either have a horrible handeling in which you cant turn quickly and bang into walls every 3 feet or they have too much handeling where you are swerving all over the track banging into walls every 3 feet from over compensating the controls. And yes, I know you have to use the air brake system, but who the hell wants to use that through the whole race, I want speed not brakes and percision.This leads me to my second point.. The tracks. The worlds are magnificient and the graphics are absolutely awesome, however the tracks are so skinny and narrow. Forget about the control with a good handeling vehicle, try navigating the tracks with the Pirhana who has the worst handeling, its impossible. Secondly the tracks are so linear, straight and boring. Big deal, you give me a turn or a jump, the least they could have done was make different routes or, i'm not asking for anything as expanseive as Midnight Club, but give me something, meet me half way, maybe to the point of Star Wars Racer Revenge, where you dont have infinite directions but there are multiple routes and forks in the tracks.The difficulty of this game is absolutely annoying for a casual gamer like myself. This game is meant for gamers not people who play it on the subway to pass time on the commute. Unless you have the time to invest in this game do not bother getting it as it will make you miserable and frustrate you beyond imagination. Game makers should make games for everyone, not just people who play video games 24 hours a day! Even games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill have an easy or beginner mode for people like me, and a nightmare mode for real gamers!Lastly for a game that prides itself on being about high speed crafts and such, the game is slow as anything. Yes you get to hit like 800mph on the track, but you spend more time banging into walls racing at 0 mph and sitting in last place. For a game that is supposed to be full of action, you see none of it, since the action for you stops if you bang into something. Really? This is supposed to be fun? The weapons you can get are really cool, but unfortunately the one you get the most is the shield... I DONT WANT THE SHIELD, I WANT A MISSILE!!In essence the game is beautifully crafted, the worlds and graphics are amazing and the vehicles have very cool designs. That is why I gave it 1 additional star. The music is a technoey mix which is pretty good too. One additional point on the game speed... while the craft is moving 600mph, it looks like you are going 2mph, the speed factor was not done well at all, I can walk faster than the craft moves. But please, unless you have time to invest in this game, and practice, and you have the patience of a saint, and are a graceful loser than do not buy this game, as it will anger you beyond belief. And be ready.. the opposition always get the missiles and you get stuck with the dumb pointless shield!For better PSP racing cames check out Midnight Club, this can get repetitive after a while, but at least you have infinte directions to go in and tons of races and cars.For better racing games in general for PS2, check out Midnight Club 2, MC3 Dub Edition, Star Wars Racer Revenge and Twisted Metal Black (not racing but vehicular combat) is beyond awesome!I know the little fan boys are going to tear into me, but I dont care, because someone needs to stand up for the casual gamer!

This is a game that is very different as it's not purely just racing. At first I was annoyed and thought I had wasted my money, but I gave it another chance and really began to enjoy it. There are many course, but most are locked, which make the game more challenging. I don't like it when everything is open to me, I want to earn it and as I progress further I feel a sense of accomplishment. Weapons and power ups are included, which is why I said it's not just a racing game. Some of the weapons are annoying and can really tip the balance, but you can learn to avoid some of them, which just makes the game more challenging. I know these is a previous version of this game, with this new one having additional features. I do intend to buy the first on, but I have become very happy with this game. It has it's flaws and takes getting use to, but it really is fun.

I really like racing games, but only particular kinds. I'm not big on the realistic ones like Gran Tourismo. Nothing wrong with them, they're just not my bag.Mario Kart and Burnout. Those are the two titles that first come to mind. I like stuff that's different, that has cool cars and items and just an indescribable sense of "Yeah, I like this."Wipeout Pure is not the first in the series. The N64 one is pretty cool. But this is first one that I've really gotten into. I love the music, I love the menu designs, I love the futuristic vehicles, I love the weapons, I love how you can absorb items to recover health, and I love the race courses.It's not too hard so far, though I do have to perform a few practice runs before really tackling the tournaments. All the vehicles have different pros and cons, and it's fun to try out the different ones on different tracks.And it plays really well on the PSP. A great game to have on trips for quick pick-up-and-play fun.

Good

Classic racing action for the price, and it’s in the palm of your hand. One of the better racers for the PSP. The game arrived sealed in the case, and cost next to nothing. The PSP is a great system to collect for, with many games being rather inexpensive. Worth a look for retro gamers, or fans of arcade/futuristic style racing games.

Ah, just like how it was back in 2007-2009. If anyone/you enjoy on playing a 2005 video game that includes a futuristic-retro-gravity-flying-cars ( Not actual cars but Gravity flying airplanes ), then this game is for you and if you're new to this video game then try it out and see how it'll go for you!!!- P.C.

I had this game in the past but lost it. Bought it again through Amazon and remembered how much fun it is.

Es exactamente lo que buscaba. El juego viene sellado y totalmente nuevoEl Wipeout es un juego perfecto para los amantes de la velocidad. Es como FZero pero mejor. Sigo la franquicia desde el PS1 y ésta entrada es muy buena, por eso le hicieron remaster para PS3 y luego Remaster del remaster para PS4.Hay carreras de zonas (corre hasta explotar mientras la velocidad aumenta infinitamente), carreras con combate y carreras más tradicionales como de circuito y de un solo trayecto.

Es increíble que sea un título de casi 15 años porque se ve increíble , la música es buena, con una excelente jugabilidad y esta en español.El hecho de que sea totalmente nuevo, con manuales y sellado me parece genial, además por 55 pesos es una super oferta.

No debe de faltar en la colección de tu psp, muy buena música, varios modos de juego, viene en español.

my 5 year old loves this old school title. no violence, great for kids

Pod racing mini!
