The little compromises chip away at the experience though, from the framerate to the slightly chunkier handling. At its best, it's incredibly fast and beautiful breathless, even. And when we at last reach the likes of Sol, Liverpool seems to really cut loose with the design, throwing in terrifying drops and all manner of other devious tricks.īut there's also no denying that Liverpool has overextended itself just a bit with Wipeout 2048. As the game progresses, there's a sense that Liverpool is moving steadily into familiar territory. It's still Wipeout, after all, and when it really gets moving, it's easy to leave behind any misgivings and just roll with it. Thus, Wipeout 2048 stands with Uncharted as one of the Vita's best launch titles. Clearly, this game is as much about showing off the hardware as much as being a quality racing game. In fact, the interface in general is excellent - a clean, shiny, touchscreen-driven menu system that is a pleasure to behold. It's well-executed in addition to being highly accessible, and it's quite easy to get a race going. WipEout 2048 4.5 stars - Pocket-lint recommended For Superb graphical flourishes Great house music soundtrack A nod to the first and much loved WipEout title all those years ago Cross-platform play. But then, it's not really in the spirit of Wipeout's traditionally hyper-competitive play either.Īll that said, the online campaign is a credit to Wipeout. Make of what you will of that last, but it's pretty hilarious to see an opponent cruising toward a win abruptly decelerate and politely wait for you to pass them. They can range from simply completing the event to executing a barrel roll and in a strange twist, they can include intentionally losing a race as well. Liverpool has opted to experiment with race objectives this time around, with some interesting results. Things have changed for the online mode as well though thankfully, they are also generally for the better.
