Games Review: WipEout HD

PSN, Sony, £11.99

WipEout has long been synonymous with highspeed racing meets hi- NRGtunes – a fast and frantic series that inevitably leaves players dry-eyed, having had no time to blink while piloting their crafts round fiendish tracks.

This, the first HD WipEout title ever to grace a games console, is a fabulous download title and a great game in its own right. Crazily crisp graphics give a lustrous touch to what is a kind of “greatest hits” of previous WipEouts, taking the best music and the best racetracks, and creating a brave newhigh-def world.
