When games are as thoroughbred as this, complaints made as a result of direct comparison to today's standards seem unfair and it is testament to WipEout's rock-solid formula that Pocket Gamer churlishly expect such modern features from such an old game. When it comes down to it, if you were a fan of the original then the PSP version is more than just a nostalgia trek; if you've never played it, then consider this a very valuable history lesson.
