Midway Wipeout 64 Nintendo 64 Racing Review

Overall Rating
 4 of 5

Price Paid:  $45.00 from game peddler

Summary:
Very fun, futuristic type game with hover craft vehicles like f-zero X. Not too many vehicles to choose from 5 or 6 if i remember correctly. Has about 10 or so boards, all very different. A racing game which supports 4 players. Also, a racing game where you can also pick up weapons to fire at your opponents to destroy them. cool looking scenery and vehicles.

Summary:
Speed Thrills! I Love this game, it's the best thing to come along since the original Tetris for the NES. I've never played it on the playstation or computer so I don't know what those people have to say about their versions (since playing it I have thought about buying a PSOne just for Wipeout XL - but I've heard that this 64 version is faster). My only complaint is that Wipeout64 comes with only 6 songs (one of them sucks!) while XL had 14...hey, whassawidat!?! I can't complain too much though, because I bought the XL soundtrack and can just pop that into my stereo and turn the games music off.

Summary:
Crap, this is a fun game. I played lots of racers before this one and I have to say that this is the fastest yet. When you get to the later levels, you're going ridiculously fast with all kinds of special effects exploding all around you, and it becomes almost psychedelic.

I didn't play the playstation version, so I can't say whether the N64 or the PSX version is better, but I can say that WipeOut is more fun than F-Zero (But I wish WipeOut 64 had more tracks).

I would give WipeOut64 a 5 overall, but I reserve my 5's for truly groundbreaking games like Zelda 64, so I'll have to give WipeOut a 4. But trust me, this is probably the most fun racer I've ever played.

Summary:
Futuristic racing game. There are specials like turbos and weapons which you can pick up along the way. The graphics are a bit too blurry for a great racing game: sometimes you really can't distinguish a thing, vehicle or road. But for a low price, it's a fine game.
