“Wipeout Pure” was the first UMD
game I saw for the Sony PSP at a locale video game store in my neighborhood. The
manager gave me a demo and I was hooked. I love racing games and I love anything
futuristic so “Wipeout Pure” was perfect for me. The graphics are
outstanding and the animation is fluid. Starting up with a profile, choosing
your vehicle of choice, and then deciding whether you wish to participate in
either a single race, tournament, time trial, or free play couldn’t be easier
and the game play is exciting. Once you get the hang of it, using the joystick
and buttons on the PSP console itself will feel more natural than most game
controllers for set top systems. A very cool feature is the ability to have up
to 8 players participate in a race at the same time through the Wi-Fi Ad Hoc
Mode. One player must host a multiplayer game in order to use this feature and
once a race begins, new players cannot join the race. Eight different kinds of
ships are available to choose from and they have a sleek look to them that is
somewhat reminiscent of the designs of futurist Syd Mead and there are also 12
new tracks created for this version of the game along with 4 classic “Wipeout
Pure” runs. The 25-page instruction booklet is well written and easy to
digest.

my favorite games and it is available now for the Sony PSP on UMD at retailers
on and offline courtesy of Sony Computer Entertainment.
