VideoGamer.com got their slimy little hands on Wipeout HD and got to fly some tracks with it. And they like what they see!

There are a couple interesting aspects to the game you might not be familiar with if you haven’t been keeping up with the series on the PSP.

For example, the game contains magstrips. These pink sections of track “lock your craft in place so it doesn’t go flying into the air as you zoom through the elaborate track designs“. Sounds cool. You can also take pics and store them, and you can also listen to your own music.

But the coolest thing seems to be a race mode called zone mode. The goal is to survive as long as possible while your craft continuously increases in speed. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Gotta wonder if there’s any splitscreen support…

Wipeout HD Hands-on for PS3

These video downloads are so huge that I haven’t downloaded it in any format yet. But this game is really cool and I hope to have one downloaded soon.

Gamersyde actually has a ton of viewing/downloading options. So even though this is a big file, one of them should fit the bill.

This racer has always gotten a lot of positive buzz.

I’ve never played this, although the trailer looks great. Any Wipeout fans here to comment?
