Wipeout 2097

Wipeout 2097 – (personal opinion) My first ever Playstation game. This game, at that time, taught me about the differences between Sega’s Megadrive and Sony’s Playstation, especially the graphic differences, which left me astounded. Wipeout 2097 is a racing game. But no ordinary racing simulator, instead of playing with cars you play with space ships through out a variety of tracks that were amazing, not only graphically but also in terms of difficulty.

Now, the analysis:

The graphics shown on this game, aren’t exceptional, but at that time they were very much, at least for me, they really took my breath away. And so I will have to take that in to consideration in my rating. In terms of sound this game was incredibly ahead of time, bringing a hole compilation of real musics (such as, and my personal favourite, The Prodigy’s Firestarter). This game was a major success because all of these aspects and many more, such as the ability for each ship to acquire weapons to crumble its opponents, such as missiles, energy fields, mines, etc; and, of course, the fact that these ships can gain an incredible speed, and to race around a track in such a speed without hitting the walls is an excellent challenge of your reflex capacity and really provides an experience that is out of this world.
