Wipeout series simple dont stand up to the new console generation, it was a briliant game for the psx, due to the psx limitations, they couldn´t d mutch, but it realy puxed the psx to the max, now with the ps2 it simple ins´t that much of a surprise, i think because the style of the game isn´t adquated to the new upcoming consoles.
In other words, its like playing the old snake or pacman in the psx!
Good old titles, but its not what the new (years back) the new systems needed.
That´s the mistake some software houses are doing.
