 WIPEOUT
FUSION Fancy being young Anakin Skywalker
astride one of those mind-boggling Pod racers? Alas
we haven't reached 3000 AD yet! But all's not lost,
with the release of the coolest hovercraft racer sim
of all time-Wipeout Fusion for PlayStation2. As a pilot
in a league of hovercraft racers, you'll find a curious
blend of futuristic racing, simulation racing, and combat
racing. Wipeout Fusion provides 45 courses on seven
tracks, and there's a lot of fresh territory and good,
challenging depth to this game. There have been a number
of key improvements to the Wipeout gameplay. The most
notable is in the track design where tracks corkscrew,
loop, drop off at 90 degrees, and even flip upside down.
Improvements that not only heighten the sense of speed
but also make the game feel more like a rollercoaster
ride with 360-degree camera pans and laser-plasma weapons
to kayo your competition. One of the greatest additions
in Fusion is in the form of the pilot/ship system. Now
you can easily finish the game with one ship without
switching to another craft. As you win races, you earn
credits to upgrade your racer-you have your choice of
raising the stats of the shield, top speed, thrust,
and braking power just to name a few options. As you
upgrade, your ship will not only perform better, but
its appearance also changes and by the time you max
out your stats your ship will look completely different.
Upgrading to a certain point will unlock your chosen
team's lead pilot who'll have the potential for better
stats and this increases your incentive for staying
with one team until the end. However, if you choose,
you can downgrade any improvements you have made to
one pilot and use the recycled points to build up any
other pilot you have unlocked. With awesome graphics
that goes beyond the scope of a spartan, arcade look
and feel, this title from Milestone Interactive at a
steal of Rs 999 delivers decent game play.
