Wipeout HD Fury (Video Game)

Customer Review

Basically it is the same with "Wipeout" like "Mario Kart" for Nintendo: It has been on all Sony home entertainment products (PS 1-3, PSP) published, the gameplay was always the same and always the graphics for that time very presentable.
But Wipeout HD (as well as the Playstation per se) is somehow the "adult" product.

Principle: In Wipeout this is not a simulation, but a futuristic racing game. You control "spaceships", the boards via channel-like tracks with nearly Mach 1. In addition, you collect during the race over colored surfaces, which are strategically placed on the track, items such as homing missiles, shields, acceleration boost, etc.

Scope: You get in the Bluray version both the original game "Wipeout HD" and the Expansion Pack "Fury" - hence the composite name. In both Kamapgnen there every 8 events with about 10 individual races. With so a total of 16 total events has to nibble long. In addition to the normal race and time trial there are "Detonator" (at steadily increasing speed rail with the mounted gun of mines free), "Eliminator" (destroy the enemy) and "Zone" (increasing pace).

Control: After the Need for Speed ​​Shift debacle I was very happy that you can control via the Digi-cross. A button for "brakes" does not exist - only the shoulder buttons act as "air brakes", a kind of "Sliden" in curves. The Dualshock3 are trembling Feedback - great.

Difficulty: The difficulty here is mMn the game depends entirely clear to older players. Even on "Easy" and having switched Pilot Help the game is quite fast very demanding. Especially in high speed mode to exist only if one knows all the acceleration lane, alternative routes and weapons symbols.

Optics / Sound: Wipeout (HD) is one of the few or the only PS3 game that supports FullHD resolution 1080p (?). By the technically cool look and the many explosions and effects the image already looks very impressive! The game runs absolutely smoothly (according to package with 60fps) and the feeling of 900 km / h be on the road, is fully over. As music you get mainly hard, electronic sound to hear what fits excellently. But you can also select via Option's stored on the PS3 as MP3s music - nice feature. In general, the music is well built: sections change analogous to the music visually and according to the situation to change bass / treble / intensity - great. A word to the loading times: The load times are very limited for so great look and such a sense of speed. Ca 20 sec or less.

The multiplayer (Double-Screen on a PS3) is said to stutter ... I have already contested many races with friends, and could feel no massive "performance degradation". In both the vertical and the horizontal division of the image you could still steer well and it looked good. The online game I have not yet tested - enough for me the DS mode.

Conclusion: Overall, one gets (because the Fury-Packets that come along on the Bluray.) An extensive high-speed game where really a great feeling is mediated. As for the speed, any simulation or even every Need for Speed ​​wastage can pack. The look and the sound create an experience beyond compare. Of course you have this kind of "racing game" and may get involved in a futuristic, physically questionable scenarios. If one accepts that, you get a great asset to the PS3. And now a shameless good price. Full 5 points, precisely because it is something special.
