WipEout HD is a fast and fun hovercar racer. In it you will need quick reflexes, good track knowledge, knowledge of all weapon and pickup types, and a good understanding of game mechanics just to keep up with the pack not winning a race. It is definetly a chalenging game and is not for the type that expects to pick up and whiz through quickly or the type that will easily give up because a game is too challenging.
The graphics are some of the best availible for any platform. The detail put into these ships and tracks is amazing and it all runs in 1080p 60 frames per second. The tracks look very futuristic and sometimes alien which is because the game takes place in the far far future where hovercars are readily availible. The music is mostly made up of electronic beats which are well selected and help imerse you in this fururistic setting.
The game consists of a main campaign, a racebox to customize a race, and online play. The main campaign is made up of these grids of hexagons and each hexagon is a different event. Most of these are locked until you complete an even ajacent to the hexagon. It starts off not to bad dificulty wise but the challenge increases extremly quickly which may lead to some frustration. Other then that though the campaign is very good and will likely last you a bit to complete.
The racebox lets you customize a race, from the track to the game mode, to the speed class. The different availble modes are the standard race, a race tournement, speed lap where you go for the fastest lap time possible, time trial, and zone which is a mode where your ship starts off slow and slowly picks up speed until it is uncontrolible and you crash your ship.
Online play is playing the game modes included in race box and letting you play with 7 other people over the internet. It is fun and even includes ranks that you progress through as you win races.
All in all WipEout HD is a difficult, chaotic, and fun racer that I recomend to anyone who likes racing games and is not afraid of a high difficulty.
