Wipeout 64, Psygnosis first N64 effort, is one hell of a ride that is all about new additions, better control, more speed and enhanced graphics. Even the music rocks. We think Nintendo 64 owners are in for a real surprise with this one. Gameplay Wipeout 64 is admittedly, at its core, a racing game. But by no means is it just a racing game.
Players race through a variety of tracks with futuristic hover-vehicles.
In other words, cars float a few feet above the ground and maneuver accordingly. And it's fast. Whereas Nintendo's racer blazes along with super smooth framerates, it features virtually no background detail. In addition, Wipeout 64 ups the ante with a wide selection of in-game weapons that can be used to blow opposing racers into smithereens. All of the above and newly added power weapons unique to each vehicle.
