Sound: Ear numbing explosions and techo sound effects, backed by a hot techno soundtrack by some of the best techno music ever heard in a game.Įnjoyment: Racing and mind numbing speeds across wicked track designs, what is there not to like about it? Wipeout XL offers up a plateful of enjoyment. Layout is fantastic and the level of detail in the game is off the charts. Graphics: Bind blowing neon lights light furiously fast and astounding tracks. Despite its minor flaws, any self respecting gamer owes it to his/herself to pick this title up and play it. Wipeout XL represents all that is good in a racing game. Music by Prodigy, FSOL, and Psgynosis' own in-house music division, Cold Storage, all pump players up for racing and combat. The music for the game is so great that Psygnosis released a separate CD for the music itself. The cpu announcer has a digitialized sound, and the missiles zip and twirl down the strip as they explode nicely upon impact. Blazing down a speeding ramp only to have the track pop up and turn out of nowhere can be a little unnerving.Ĭoinciding along with the game's techno theme, the sound effects and music are all very techno-ish sounding. Every texture and polygon is crisp and clear, however, there is a substantial amount of pop-up and clipping in this title. The levels are highly detailed and have a neon glow to them that looks wonderful. This is probably the biggest problem in the entire game. The levels are very complicated, and some difficulty comes from the fact that the track can become hard to see due to the dark nature of the game. The controls are hard to gain a grip on a first, as you'll find yourself becoming friends with every wall before you get the gist of the control. Each class has its own set of attributes, both positive and negative. The control does vary, depending on which racing class you choose. The control flows evenly and is very responsive. This futuristic racer comes packing some very sweet eye candy, as well as containing some of the most unique level designs ever to grace a racing game. Psygnosis has hit the PC with a revolutionary racer title in the form of Wipeout XL.
