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

Is good!! November 15, 2008
I like this game a lot, it takes a little getting used to the controls. But once your there its worth it.
I hear the difficulty becomes very punishing in later levels. I'm not looking forward to that since I've been getting punished from the get go! If anyone tells you its not fast they haven't played it for more than a few minutes. There are levels where you just do laps to infinity, and the only goal is to survive as long as you can. But as you do more and more laps the speed keeps getting increased to where its harder and harder to control. The speed is insane on these!!! SUch a fun game, if your stuck at work and want to play a handheld racing game you can't go wrong here.
Great Game, It's a Must Have for Any PSP Owner! October 20, 2008
Wipeout Pulse takes everything that worked so well with Wipeout Pure and improves on it with better graphics. The gameplay is as addictive as ever with terrific "can't even blink" tracks to its even greater music tracks. It's a shame that PSP games don't sell as well as compared to DS games primarily due to all the piracy, this a terrific PSP game that serves much more. If you own a PSP and your into futuristic racers, get this game it's alot of fun.
Joy to play September 16, 2008
I got this game becuase it looked interesting and I'm glad I did. Not only is it a new way to race, it sorta brings back some f-zero feel for me. I started playing it to find that its takes alot of getting use to but the more I play the funner it gets. So for a interesting game I give it a 5 star for fun and play for it has a wide variety of stuff to unlock and play.
Beautiful & Fun but Very Hard September 8, 2008
This is just an initial impression since I've only played the game for a few hours so far. This game is outstanding. It's extremely beautiful and pretty fun to play. One of the things I like best about this game is the soothing & enjoyable feeling of going at very high speeds around the sweeping, futuristic race tracks. I don't get bored with racing the same tracks over and over because it's very challenging and the tracks are so well designed. But this is a very hard game. You need lightning reflexes and micro-second timing. The tracks are narrow and it's difficult to maneuver without hitting a wall. The PSP's controls are awkward and challenging to get used to. I'm sure I could do a lot better on this game if I were playing it on my PC and if I were using a real analog joystick. I don't have a huge amount of experience playing games on the PSP so that probably makes it harder for me than for a PSP veteran. Also I didn't play the previous versions of this game. Hopefully I can improve my skills enough to actually win a race. I think I'm at least pretty decent at video games, but this game is really hard.
Best Racing game for PSP August 10, 2008
Well, most people are comparing this title to the previous edition, Wipeout Pure, and both games are the best racing titles for the PSP, plain and simple. With this version, you get the same quality found in Wipeout Pure, but with more tracks than the original, slightly more polished graphics, and an online racing mode.
The style of the game is set in the future, and is similar to F-zero, but has a much more modern design style, and has a focus on items found on the course to change up the gameplay. Think of the game as a technopunk version of Mario Kart mixed with F-zero, and you are getting the right idea.
Although other racing games may have actual cars and upgradeable parts, this game has the best controls, visuals, and overall features than any other PSP racer. A great buy for any PSP owner.
