The bottom line with this game is that it brings more to the table, it's faster and better. Newcomers and Wipeout fans alike are going to be all over it. Sanchez Presentation Designers Republic has managed to make the most copied design aesthetic new again with an austere interface that is both functional, and, well, cool. 9.0 Graphics High resolution has done wonders for the Wipeout franchise. Psygnosis' experience with PS hardware also has paid off.
Models are well detailed, environments are rich, and the image is razor sharp.
The sound effects design is rock solid as it pretty much follows XL's lead. The soundtrack, though good, doesn't offer any new surprises and the included tracks aren't exactly the artist's best work. Wipeout distilled to near perfection. The only flaw with this game is that there aren't 20 tracks to play on. 10.0 Lasting Appeal I still play the original Wipeout, and I expect to be playing Wipeout 3 long after the PlayStation 2 is out.
