 ... However, the PlayStation versions also suffered dreadful pop-up, and so I feel obliged to ignore it for this conversion. So, what about the sound? Amazingly, the music HAS remained intact. The Propellorheads and Fluke have both provided "proper" music to the game, and compression experts PC Music have also provided some. The quality is superb, mainly due to the large amount of compression on the cartridge. The compromise: there is actually a loading time while the music decompresses, and the output is in mono.

Premium Review Wipeout 64 (N64): Wipeout for the N64 - better than you would think (767 words)

Although the view that the Wipeout games are based mainly on the Playstation (which is true) I have discovered (with great surprise but also joy) that this N64 port of the original version is actually very good and well worth buying. Released back at the start of 2000 (I think), this game was cruelly ignored by N64 racing fanatics due to the release of the equally excellent F-Zero X a couple of months beforehand. Shamefully I admit that the graphics had deterred me from purchasing this game but having played it many months later I realised just how playable and fun it really was. Anyway, I didn't have a Playstation at the time but I desperately wanted to buy it ...  Read the complete review

To be honest, I had doubts about buying WipEout 64. The PlayStation versions were renowned for their crisp, clear graphics, and fantastic sound tracks. On the Nintendo 64, however, how would these graphics fare after the texture blurring process? And surely those soundtracks will disappear? Wrong. Graphically, WipEout 64 is superior to both the original WipEout and WipEout 2097, although it looks nowhere near as good as the recent WipEout 3. The textures are crisp, and the frame rate is smooth. However, there is certainly a low polygon count at play, as many of the cliff faces and stadia look quite rectangular. Possibly the biggest issue with the graphics, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Wipeout 64 (N64): <Crazy Laugh> WIPEOUT! (317 words)

Wipeout 64 is the advanced member of the Wipeout series for the Nintendo 64 (hence the 64 suffix) it follows in the footsteps of the highly successful wipeout, wipeout 2097 and all the other members of the franchise. It is a futuristic racing game which involves you piloting sort of hover ships armed with all sorts of groovy weapons. You take part in races containing fifteen entrants at high speeds round all sorts of long and winding circuits. #Graphics & Sounds The graphics of past outings were impressive but this unsurprisingly tops them all. Modern dance music pumps out of your TV as you speed round at ridiculously high speeds which gives the player ...  Read the complete review

This is what racing games are meant to be about - ultra-fast tests of skill, anticipation, memory, reflexes, and shooting. There, that about sums it up............ Only kidding, there's no way I'm letting you off that easily. I've decided to write an op on Wipeout 64 as I've mentioned it in a previous op, on Star Wars: Racer, a game I was less than impressed with when I compared it to this one. Well, having made that statement I should be prepared to put my money where my mouth is, so it's only proper that I review this game too. Wipeout originally appeared on the PlayStation (and I think the PC and Saturn too), and was a huge ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Wipeout 64 (N64): Wipeout 64 - Bang On! (405 words)

I'm not really a fan of the typical racing games like Ridge Racer, F1 Pole Position or Top Gear Rally. Now don't get me wrong, as I've nothing against these games. I just prefer something a bit more bizarre. Wipeout 64 is a futuristic racing game in which you control floating crafts! These crafts are also equipped with weapons! The aim of the game here is to race some amazing yet deadly tracks (massive jumps and hard to turn corners) and to survive the race (rockets and missiles coming from other opponents)! Now Wipeout has appeared on other formats before (3 versions of the game are on the PlayStation), but the Nintendo 64 version looks and ...  Read the complete review
