Wipeout Pulse - Sony PSP

This game is a phenomenal, well crafted, brilliantly designed racing game for the PSP and is my favorite racing game on the PSP. I should note that I also own and have reviewed WipeOut Pure as well, and I absolutely hated it for all the reasons that Pulse improved on.Game Play (5/5): In my opinion this game is one of the most fun racing games available on the PSP, additionally, the game is addictive and will keep you attached for hours. The game definitely has a VERY steep learning curve, is very hard to get the hang of and can definitely be ridiculously hard and exceptionally frustrating. If you have read my critique of Pure, you will know that I hated that game for an almost unending amount of reasons, all of which for me made the game unnecessarily difficult and took away the fun from the game, this game improved on all of that and made the game a real blast.In my opinion, this game is a vast improvement over Pure for the following reasons. My first complaint in Pure is that the tracks were so narrow and hard to navigate... In this game the track is wider, easier to navigate and give you far more wiggle room to battle other ships. My second issue with pure was that of all the weapons that were available the enemy always got the missiles and stuff and you always got stuck with the shield. Not is Pulse.. In pulse the enemy is loaded to the teeth with weapons and thankfully so are you! My last complaint about Pure was the difficulty from the beginning. Pulse is a lot more accessible to gamers like myself than Pure is and starts out a lot easier. Also, Pulse adds all kind of great modes, my favorite being an elimination mode which lets you battle other crafts... AWSOMENESS! Additionally, the graphics in Pure were awesome to begin with, but they were greatly improved with explosions being better, combat being more awesome and colors being far more brighter.Graphics (5/5): Much like Wipeout Pure, Pulse is brilliantly crafted, and has crisp, clean, flawless graphics. The ships are magnificently designed, look really cool and have every balance of armor, speed, and handling that you could possibly imagine. One of my complaints with Pure is that the track slowly rolls by you as if your ship is going 2 mph. This game vastly improved that graphic, allowing the track to wiz by and truly give the impression of a high-speed race. The worlds and tracks in this game are of such a high degree that they are awe inspiring and are as imaginative and perfectly crafted as you can possibly get.Controls (5/5): The controls are exactly the same as Pure and are perfectly aligned to give the best use of the PSP unit. Generally the top left and right buttons are for the air brakes which I absolutely hate, thankfully both Pulse and Pure give you the option of using only a single air brake which I find much more enjoyable. While some games can have clunky, awkward controls, this is not one of those games, the controls are fluid, and easy to learn and use.Sound (5/5): There is a pretty good sound track to this game. Truthfully between Pulse and Pure, I like Pure's sound track better, but I love that this game allows you to make you own custom soundtracks.Extras (5/5): The game has a ton of extras. In addition to the tons of unlockable ships, tracks and modes, you can also design your own ship, design your own races, and download all kinds of goodies from the game's website which his completely accessible from the game's main menu itself.In essence this game is a great buy. It is far better than Pure, has far more options, modes, combat and extras. This game is an improvement in every way over WipeOut Pure and you should definitely buy this game. I love this game and I think you will too.**Note,load times take forever. This is the only thing about this game that sucks*****Just a warning for casual gamers like myself, this game is super difficult, the game starts very hard, and get punishingly difficult as the races get faster and as you unlock new areas. This games takes time to master, but once you do master it you will love it. I love playing this gameon my subway ride, AmTrac and Bus rides, it is all around great fun***

I downloaded a demo of this game off of the Playstation Network to try it and see if it was any good. The Demo Was great just with the one racer and track you got. Getting the full version made it even greater. The are at least 6 different types of races that you can play. Including Single Race, Zone, Time Trial, Elimination and a couple more. There are 4 different speed classes to play. Slow to Fast. I played Need For Speed games for a long time and so racing is one of my favorite game to play. Of course, Its much faster than NFS. I would recommend this game to anyone who has a PSP system because its a lot of fun and its going to take a little while to beat. I love it and hope anyone who buys this game likes it too. I hope This was helpful

Great racing game on the PSP, with great soundtrack. The game used to allow you to customize your ship's skin by going to the game's website, but that site was shut down. As far as I can tell, there is no offline version of the skin tool..

It delivers the Wipeout experience in a portable format. If you're a fan of the series, or a fan of racing games in general, this is a good pickup.

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.

I've been wanting to get this game for a long time, but could not find it complete until I looked on amazon and found it new and sealed.

Friggin fantastic. If you're into this style of game, and own a PSP or Vita, then this is a must own. The controls are as good as they can be on PSP's lackluster thumbstick. The sense of speed is still there, and the challenge is definitely there.I really hope we see this series return in some form.

This game is truelly fun. If your a fan of the wipeout series, then you will really enjoy this game. This takes the already great game wipeout pulse and makes it better. Theres online gameplay, expansion packs, and the ability to make custom skins for your ships. Just saying that, should make any true wipeout fan buy this game immediately!

WipEout adds yet another great installment in the franchise. Highly recommended to the fans of the franchise who want to add what I consider a must-have of the PSP era.

Wipeout: Pulse -- Great game, fast furious racing fun! The adhoc and online modes are cool too, although not many people are playing the psp these days.

Eines der besten Spiele der PSP. Tolle Grafik und Sound. Länger Spielspaß garantiert.

Alles drin und dran. Für ein gebrauchtes Spiel sehr gut gepflegt

結論から言うと、これは良いです、非常に。まず感じたのは世界観がしっかりとしていること。未来都市を思わせる高画質なコースに、良質なテクノサウンドがクールで静かな激闘を最大にわくわくさせてくれます。このゲームは慣れてきてからがめちゃくちゃ楽しいですね。これの一番の特徴はスピード感がハンパないことでしょう。機体がちょっと浮いているんですが、表現に迷いますがふわふわしていて、ヌルヌル動きます。そのヌルヌル動く感じがちょっと最初はやりにくいんです。でも、自分は結構な数の金メダルが取れるようになってきていて、もう最高ですねこれは!と思えるようになってしまいました。もうひとつ良いところはカスタマイズに優れているところですね。CPUの強さが3段階から選べる(途中変更も簡単)し、機体のデザインも自分で作成可能です。それにBGMも自分で好きなものを30曲までMP3で追加できるし、流したくない曲は簡単にOFFにできます。また自分で好きなようにレース内容を設定して遊ぶこともできます。改善して欲しい点をあげるなら、ひとつめは日本での知名度が低すぎることですね。SCEJは、もう発売から何年も経っているのに日本版は結局出さないし、ダウンロードパックも日本人が手に入れて遊ぶのは絶望的です。もうひとつは機体の音が小さいです。走行中のエンジン音やサイドブレーキの作動音はしているんですが、音量あげないとはっきりいってよくきこえません。
