The Series Keeps Getting Better

by  Shaunpm60,   Jul 25, 2001

Pros:  Excellent graphics sound and speed. Plenty of gameplay modes.

Cons:  The AI is incredibly difficult on later tournaments.

The Bottom Line:  Wipeout 3 is a must have for anyone who likes speed or a good-looking racer. Even if you don't like racing games, give Wipeout 3 a try.

Overall Rating: 5/5 stars
 

Author's Review

The first time I played Wipeout XL, I thought there should have been more things to do instead of just play in the championship. Then comes Wipeout 64 (for the N64) which presented difficult challenges, along with the arcade mode. Sadly, the championship was left out. Now we move on to Wipeout 3, which has the best of both worlds, and more!

Wipeout 3 is pretty easy to play, just try to make it in a good position before time runs out or you are destroyed. Weapons do not make the task any easier, especially when the computer racers know how to use them. It's great to play for days, whether you're trying to win a championship or complete one of many difficult tasks (such as placing 1st and destroying 5 opponents).

Graphics: 9.5
The game looks great. There's a whole lot of detail and lighting effects to go around, and it's in a high resolution, much like Ridge Racer Type 4. Also, the game has a great framerate and an excellent sense of speed, plus there's barely any pop-up.

Sound: 9.0
The game has great music which you can also listen to on a CD-player. Sound effects are pretty much of what you expect if you've played any other Wipeout game.

Gameplay: 8.5
The menus are easy to navigate, and there are many game modes to play in. Gameplay is pretty straight forward, and there's nothing very complex about it. The controls could have been a bit better, since the handling should reflect the speed you travel at. I still crash into walls to this day.

Replay Value: 8.5
If you like the Wipeout series, or racing games in general (like me), then this game will keep you busy and entertained. If you like your games fast and frantic, WO3 is for you.

Overall: 9.3
Wipeout 3 will make an excellent additon to anyones PlayStation collection. It has excellent graphics and sound, and the pace will leave you coming back for more.
