Blur vs. Wipeout

Wipeout has long been virtually no alternative, when it came to Funracer for adults. So a large fan base has grown, fortunately also many beautiful romps in online mode. Meanwhile, however, competition has yet come in the form of Blur, which very closely geared to Wipeout. Here controls are no spaceplane, but right cars and driving on real roads. That alone does not make the difference, and is ultimately probably not important. Important are rather the following facts:

In Wipeout HD, there is no long-term motivation. One can not improve his glider by she drives a lot, you only get other designs. When blur you get not only new finishes, but also upgrades like a speed boost and more health.

In Wipeout there is no mods. One can not do anything to zusammenzubasteln his personal favorite vehicle, with precisely the improvements that are a. In Blur, there are two dozen mods, which can be combined depending on the race track.

There are at Wipeout Although many different types of vehicles, but I think it's very clear that "Icaras" is the best team anyway and you do not even have to give to others. In Blur there are huge differences between the cars, of which there are 55, with Wipeout only 10. It has a lot more choices.

If you see the same blur, which power up to glean, in Wipeout you need to be surprised. Gambling instead of tactics.

There are at Wipeout though more weapons, which are many but useless because imprecise or Range.

At Wipeout you have no overview of the race, there is no overview map as Blur.

The online mode is in Wipeout Although well attended (with Blur no less), but it is often chosen at the mercy of the player, the system has just determined to host and changes the parameters according to your mood. In Blur you always know what you get.

The only bonus on Wipeout HD is of course the graphics. The sensational because you know me, what you have bought the expensive PS3. It's great rumzudüsen in these futuristic scenarios. The music is not my cup of tea, but good, who is on techno beats, which actually get. One can of course install his own music. That's nice, but also shows what the programmers at Wipeout HD went: Ums design to the appearance, the pure sense of intoxication. That's not a bad thing, and now and then I get in involved in the very happy and win now and then. And listen to half an hour, bored mild.

Conclusion: Wipeout boasts graphics and sound, is playfully blur but far inferior. In addition, Blur's kind ... human. I admit that I am at Blur angry much more than Wipeout, but that's still better than that I feel nothing at all to me. Wipeout universe is so unreal that you simply can not empathize. It is a foreign body in a sort of psychedelic dream. In Blur is injected into Barcelona through the mud and crashes in San Francisco into the barriers. This just feels better to - for me at least.
