Wipeout Pure
Description (IGDB)
WipEout Pure is the first adaptation for the PSP of the long-running Wipeout series. Players take part in a futuristic racing league known as the FX300 Racing League and control a fast hovercrafts on tight, cornering tracks, vying for first place in one of many tournaments. There are ten anti-gravity vehicles available to use (two need to be unlocked), each with their own characteristics in speed, handling and acceleration. Vehicles are further divided into classes that are unlocked gradually. In later classes most of the vehicles become much faster and require more precise steering at fast speeds. In the same vein, players can unlock new tournaments.

Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« A classic. Used to get beat at this all the time but I had a blast playing it. »
« Way too hard, to the point of pure frustration, specially in the latest, fastest races. »
« The Wipeout series gets back on track after the disappointing Fusion on the PS2 with a PSP version that looks and sounds top notch. It does make the same mistake as previous Wipeout games in that the difficulty curve is rather off; the early levels are a walk in the park but the later levels are frustratingly over-difficult. The sequel Pulse rectifies this as well as adding a wealth of new modes which makes it the natural choice over this instalment, but it's still well worth a look for racing fans. »
« Masterpiece. Fantastic controls and gimmicks, fully customizable experience, easily reachable free dlc content, and progressive skill cap. Must play. »
« its ok for psp game............................................................ »
« Buen juego, pero muy frustrante conforme avanza. La IA además no me gusta para nada, siendo capaces de doblar perfectamente a toda velocidad, cosa que uno no es capaz de hacer lo mismo. »
« Great mechanics. Superb track design. Superb music. That is really all you need to know because that is the recipe for an awesome racing game. But there are a few other areas I'd like to touch on. There are some issues with structure and progression. Although the tournaments are very fun, after you unlock a new speed class its basically rinse and repeat. The game doesn't tell you how to unlock new tracks so its easy to get the feeling after completing the third or forth tournament that you've seen everything the game has to offer meanwhile there are still tracks to unlock. The game also has free DLC that nearly doubles the amount of content. Being a launch title for the PSP, Pure was stuck running on the CPU's 222 MHz clock speed. This caused some noticeable performance problems. In a firmware update that came years later, developers were allowed to use the PSP's full 333 MHz clock speed but Pure never took advantage of this. In Single Race and Tournament modes, the game held 60 FPS but when weapons fired it often caused a drop in the frame rate that lasted for a few seconds. Sometimes it would drop into the 40's and even 30's. Being a fast paced racing game, response time is paramount and my ability to play well was sometimes affected by these performance hiccups. It wasn't a constant problem but it happened enough to be annoying. Strangely the developers limited Zone, Time Trial, and Free Play modes to 30 FPS. This was an odd decision because you would think those were the modes that would be easier to maintain 60 FPS because there are no A.I. opponents or weapons to fire. So you lost a lot of fluidity in those modes that you need in a game like this. There were also a few bugs such as inconsistent thrust from performing barrel rolls. Regardless it still looks very good on PC with an emulator and you can run it at a perfect 60 FPS in all modes (using a cheat code for the emulator). »
« Wipeout Pure is honestly one of the best racing games made especially for a portable, this is truly a console experience on a portable that is worth getting. You'll love the sheer difficulty, the amount of content there is available, the unique style gameplay and design and of course the music which matches quite nicely with the overall design of the Wipeout Pure experience. »
