Wipeout 3

« Despite the split-screen, there's little discernible slowdown and the visual detail remains spot-on. Psygnosis used Sony's Performance Analyzer, which enabled them to squeeze every last drop out of the PlayStation, and the result is virtually no pop-up and the crispest visuals imaginable. »

« Takes the vibe and style of the previous two games and ramps up the speed to even higher levels. »

« Practice makes perfect, and Wipeout makes you scream. [The control] takes some time, but you'll be able to corner hairpins faster than a debutante on prom night. »

« Combining well balanced gameplay, excellent track designs and a killer soundtrack, Wipeout 3 is the high water mark for the techno-racer category. »

« The inclusion of challenge and Deathmatch modes greatly enhance the gameplay, while the two player spilt-screen mode is sheer class. Add to this the hidden four player Split-screen-Link-up mode and.... well, what are you waiting for? »

« A shotgun blast of colour and speed, Wipeout 3 is not something you'll forget easily. It's the biggest, finest-looking, finest-playing game of an exceptionally good trilogy. »

« Bigger, faster, more in depth and wholly better than XL but it remains largely the same despite additional gameplay modes, tracks etc. »

« 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. »

« Wipeout 3 has the coolest graphic design of any game to date. While the entire Wipeout series features cool designs, this installment stands out with its particularly refined look. The GUI is impressive, of course, but the flames erupting from the craft's burners are truly spectacular. The difficulty is high; this is not a game where everyone can easily achieve a sense of accomplishment. »

« Variedad de pistas y gran soundtrack, mantiene la forma sin variar. »

« Slicker graphics, more nicely designed tracks and extra weapons, but the analogue control is far too over-sensitive (stick to the D-pad) and once again the difficulty curve is badly misjudged; the later levels are hair-tearingly over-difficult. Plus disappointingly, Wipeout 3 is one of the few PS1 games that will not run on the PS3. »

« Bellissimo gioco di guida arcade, che fa della velocità il suo punto di forza. Considerando il periodo in cui è stato messo sul mercato, molto buono sotto tutti i punti di vista. »

« since the European version only got Wipeout 3 Special Edition (along with standard version of Wip3out) it really a great game but not compacting with Wipeout 2097 which is really amazing game, make lots of fixes, additional features, racing all the team in Vector, Venom, Rapier & Phantom Class (not forgetting build-in Soundtracks) »

« The game is not only astounding technically speaking (the graphics push the PSX to its limits) but it is also a joy to play. A lot of content, eight ships, eight tracks plus four prototype tracks (and if you get the Special Edition, there are two more prototypes and eight more tracks from the two previous games!) spanning through four speed classes, 32 challenges and four tournaments. Considering that Rapier Class and Phantom Class start to get really serious in terms of difficulty, there is a lot to do. The game is also very customizable (you can remove weapons, trim the number on the grid, and other things via the secret cheat codes) and it offers a very good and immersive cockpit view, which is a huge plus in my opinion. The soundtrack is very spot-on with a lot of good tunes as always. Honestly, Wipeout 3 is as good as it can be on the PSX if you love the genre, and it is a shame that it didn’t get the attention and the success it deserved. »

« Beaucoup d'améliorations côté jouabilité et maniabilité par rapport aux 2 précédents opus bien que la caméra externe soit toujours pas fichue de rester correctement derrière le vaisseau. Les graphismes sont en progrès sensible mais les couleurs sont devenues délavées pour un rendu fort terne. La musique est devenue bizarre, limite cacophonique par certains moments. Le contenu du jeu est bien plus généreux qu'avant mais on ne peut pas vraiment en profiter à cause d'une difficulté inexpugnable ! c'est en effet bien pire que les 2 premiers pourtant pas piqués des vers... »

« Newer games are missing gameplay like this. Insted of fitting in too much stuff so it dosnt matter, you learn where all the corners are in tracks untill you can memorise it in your head and know everything! Tracks and Ships are sort of low so i got the special edition which give you classic wipEout tracks. The graphics are also good for the ps1. If you want a hard but fair racing game, look no further than thw WipEout games! »
