7.5

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/driving/wipeout/review.html

They docked it majorly for having its tracks all coming from the PSP version? And they put multiplayer under the good and the bad....LOL thats kinda harsh for a downloadable game thats $20

not a huge fan of wipeout but thats BS if it got a 7.5 for having only the psp tracks, i mean its good that gs doesnt consider that it PLAYS better then the psp games or that they dont consider downloadable content, or the fact that it just might be FUN!??!

Yeah I don't think they've given a single PSN game above an 8.

Hmm i guess thats the difference in opinions. 9.2 on ign compared to 7.5 on here. Though it seems as all the downpoints were that its been done before which don't seem enough to take off a whole point or 2. Really nitpicky in that review but w/e. I don't really care not my game but just a real nitpicky review.

Considering how they hand out AAs and AAAs to Live Arcade and VC titles I wonder what they see in PSN games that warrant such mild reviews.

The problem with this game is that it copies content, doesn't really add to the series and is just a blatant cash in. Other than that it's a pretty good game i'm guessing, just as they were before this one.

They gave the "Steep learning curve" to this game?

Wipeout isn't difficult to understand.
There's a gas button, brake button (that you never really use), an attack button and the tight corner hand brake button.

How is that hard to master?

Blatant cash in? The game is 20 bucks. At least they're not releasing an SNES game on the DS for 40 bucks. :P

Yeah because when a game has the same tracks you've played before with the same characters and vehicules and a full game price it's ok as long as it's called Mario Kart DS.

When will the 'GS are Bias towards system x' conspiracys end :(.

i dont think they are biased in that they have favorite systems, i just think they are overly harsh on areas of a game that shouldnt be docked, most of the time they will dock a 20 dollar dlable game for being short, when thats really to be expected, or the game has Too much variet, but i dont think thats held to one system or another

Still going to be a must purchase for me. Both PSP games are amazing, and on a big screen with a real controller with online and 60 FPS.

Well I don't think it would sell for more than 20 bucks and it is, by definition, a rehash of an already released game (which is a little cheap if you ask me).

If they make a bold statement telling people that it is just the same game as on the PSP then i'll give them props. They won't and thus it is cashing in.

It would almost be like a PC game with better graphics, extra content and selling for less getting a lower score than the same game on a console :P

Yeah. That's weaksauce :x

How is it 'weaksauce'?

The PS3 is bereft of decent racing games. Wipeout could have filled that gap but instead they grab the last design off the PSP, improve the visuals and release it on PSN as a 'brand new game'. That to me is the very definition of cash in.

Strange, Eurogamer gave it a 9.

Though I see what GS means.

If they used all new tracks it probably would have gotten an AAA score. Though still I only played one of the psp games and at that price its a steal.

Definately AAA for me :)

Though I am annoyed at how this got such a low score compared to braid. Though they may be comparing this game to proper bu ray games since it is of that quality.

It's the old content, but they did completely re-do all the graphics and such. It's better than Tekken, which re-used all the same PS2 graphical assets.

Aside from MGS4 and Resistance, Gamespot seem determined to score every PS3 game lower than anywhere else. I'm pretty surprised, I was expecting at least 8.5.

I'm not saying that Tekken wasn't a cash in either ;).

Don't get me wrong, this will be a great game that i'll be buying but it does seem cheap that i've already played it and i'm essentially paying for a coat of paint.

Yeah. Especially when they could've released the game as a VC title for like 10 bucks.

Fair enough. It's certainly a much better value for anyone who hasn't played these tracks already.

[QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"][QUOTE="Stonin"]The problem with this game is that it copies content, doesn't really add to the series and is just a blatant cash in. Other than that it's a pretty good game i'm guessing, just as they were before this one.Stonin



Blatant cash in? The game is 20 bucks. At least they're not releasing an SNES game on the DS for 40 bucks. :P

Well I don't think it would sell for more than 20 bucks and it is, by definition, a rehash of an already released game (which is a little cheap if you ask me).

If they make a bold statement telling people that it is just the same game as on the PSP then i'll give them props. They won't and thus it is cashing in.



It's the old content, but they did completely re-do all the graphics and such. It's better than Tekken, which re-used all the same PS2 graphical assets.

I'm not saying that Tekken wasn't a cash in either ;).

Don't get me wrong, this will be a great game that i'll be buying but it does seem cheap that i've already played it and i'm essentially paying for a coat of paint.




20$ for a new coat of paint that looks this great is worth IMO.

C'mon it's 20$. That's like one dinner at a restaurant.
