    Pros: Excellent graphics sound and speed. Plenty of gameplay modes.
    Cons: The AI is incredibly difficult on later tournaments.

    Summary: The first time I played Wipeout XL, I thought there should have been more things to do instead of just play in the championship. Then comes Wipeout 64 (for the N64) which presented difficult challenges, along with the arcade mode. Sadly, the championship ... read more

    Pros: Nice graphics, cool techno soundtrack. Fast, smooth, fun gameplay.
    Cons: Doesn't significantly advance the genre or the series.

    Summary: Of the Playstation's launch titles, I'd have to say that Wipeout was my favorite. I mean, sure, Demolition Derby was fun for a few hours, and blowing stuff up in Twisted Metal kept me busy for a while, but Wipeout, with its great graphics and smooth, ... read more

    Pros: Low Price, good graphics. good soundtrack
    Cons: Frustrating AI and Gameplay.

    Summary: Okay, I missed out on the first two Wipeout games but when I saw the third one at a real low price at my local store (around 9.00) I decided that i'd be a good thing to pick up. Boy was I wrong. Granted the FMV intro was nice to watch and I ... read more

    Pros: Slightly improved game graphics.
    Cons: Music; menu graphics; and same 'ol, same 'ol.

    Summary: What happened after the first Wipeout? It is definitely a Playstation classic and a must-have. Complete with futuristic racing and high-tech menus, the game had a rounded theme. You weren't just racing in the future, all the menus looked gave it the ... read more

    Pros: everything
    Cons: I'm waiting for fusion, and photek should have made an appearance on the soundtrack

    Summary: This is my first videogame review and I’ve decided to use the www.videogamespot.com Rating structure. If one hasn’t tried out any Wipeout games this will get you hooked to the series. Published in Fall 1999, this game looks better than any other ... read more

    Pros: FAST! FURIOUS! ITS WIPEOUT!
    Cons: Probably too fast for some. Takes a long time to get all ships and tracks.

    Summary: I got one of the original American Playstations many years ago and one of the selling points was this little game called Wipeout. For a 1st generation game, it was amazing, with fast racing graphics that many, including Star Wars Racer, have taken ... read more

    Pros: smooth, fast, believable, audio capability
    Cons: still a racing game

    Summary: I found this game in the bargain bin, and thought it was just another racing game for the PlayStation. There must be a million of those things. Fortunately for me, the clerk noted that the CD also can be played as an audio disk. I figured that even if ... read more

    Cons: Games this good aren't big enough. More tracks, please!

    Summary: I've bought my fair share of games for the PlayStation, both great ones and complete duds. Wipeout XL (the predecessor to Wipeout 3, natch) was the reason I bought a PlayStation in the first place. Anti-gravity racing, and beats? Are you kidding? I'm ... read more

    Summary: One of the first games I ever bought for my PSX was Wipeout XL and it had to be the hottest and fastest racing game I have ever played. Now here's the follow-up, Wipeout 3, does it beat XL? In some areas, yeah! In some, no. It beats XL in the track ... read more

    Cons: Too many cheats, a few codes and you can unlock everything in the game!

    Pros: Excellent graphics, great soundtrack, easy-to-learn controls
    Cons: Sharp jump in the learning curve

    Pros: Everything
    Cons: Nothing

    Summary: I bought this game with my doubts and when I first tried it I couldn't stop playing it for a least 1 hour. The game is difficult to actually start off driving but after a couple of turns on Wipeout 3 I was rather good at it and just couldn't stop myself
