More than just an enjoyable racing game, Wipeout Pulse is on the forefront of what the PSP has to offer technologically. With an online mode, custom soundtracks, and even a photo mode, there isn't much else on the console that the developers have failed to take advantage of. True, the game itself isn't a revolutionary change from the previous entry in the series, but if you've enjoyed Wipeout games in the past and have yet to play them in handheld form, then Wipeout Pulse is definitely worth checking out.
The Good:
* Online multiplayer
* Includes a custom-soundtrack option
* Incredibly deep single-player game
* Extremely polished.
The Bad:
* Doesn't move on significantly from the last game
* Very punishing difficulty at the later stages.

Vice city stories was amazing, I remember owning vice city with all prostitution rings lmao
That red PSP always looked beast. xD Its games are the best for mobile entertainment. Something the Vita surely needs currently.
Really great choices but I would've swapped out liberation with Disgaea or a persona game... PES 3 was amazing on vita...too bad there was no free roam:(
Thanks! Maybe I'll look into having a round with those games, could change my mind. :)

I agree with all of this. Why did Sony have to shut down SCE Studio Liverpool? They were a great part of the whole Sony gaming community. They made epic WipEout games and were already making WipEout for the PS4. Goddammit Sony, why?
gamrReview: "Those of us for whom gaming is slightly more than just a fun pastime will often cite our childhood gaming experiences and the nostalgic memories associated with them as the source of our passion for gaming. There's a sizeable group of people in the industry today that owe some of that passion to a company that, as of today, is no more."
Sigh. Just because the studio is gone doesn't mean Wipeout is gone too. What is a matter with everyone? Did anyone say that Wipeout is gone and no longer going to be made? Wipeout most likely belongs to Sony. They can make as much Wipeout games as they want.
I don't see it happening. And even if it does, who's to say the quality will be the same?
@ Spectator1. And whose to say that it won't.Sly Cooper is being done by someone else and so far it is looking good. Just because someone takes over doesn't automatically make the game lose quality.Who knows it could be improved with new blood working on it.
This is starting to get ridiculous. I know HVB has it already, but give us something Sony.
On topic, great score for a great game. The first Wipeout on PSP was a real favorite of mine, and it was also the first gateway to having a web browser on the PSP.
why does the hard difficulty on the last stages make it one of the "bad"?
