WIPEOUT HD FURY TRACKS 1080P
Speaking of onscreen action, it continues to run in full 1080p at a solid 60fps. Is this look and sound superior? That's a matter of personal taste, but menu navigation remained straightforward and passerby are bound to be attracted to what's going on onscreen. It will take most gamers a few hours of playtime to master the deft sensitivity of the left and right aerobrakes, but once there, your craft will be glued to the track as if it were traveling on rails.įury's most obvious change is the graphical facelift its menus and user interface have received- the stark white backgrounds of last year's game have been replaced with glowing wireframes and an abundant use of Helvetica that can only be described as "90s chic." Supplementing the rave flavor is an aggressive score that serves as a counter to the more mellow grooves of the original Wipeout HD soundtrack. As I mentioned in last year's review of Wipeout HD: this is one of the only arcade racing games out there which requires you to use your brakes. Sure, there are a few handicaps available such as the "assist" mode (which automatically steers your craft away from the sides of the track) and a novice difficulty setting, but even with these engaged, Fury will seem completely foreign to anyone expecting a run of the mill arcade racer. The pace is brutal and challenging, offering novice players little room for error. Pretty as ever.Basic play mechanics remain relatively unchanged in Fury - careen madly around corkscrewing tracks while trying to beat up and best the times of your opponents.
One thing's for certain: this follow-up to last year's Wipeout HD retains all the original's strengths, standing as one of the most beautiful and challenging racers to be found on any platform. Ow does one define a downloadable product like Wipeout HD: Fury? There's far too much here to call it an add-on pack, yet calling it a sequel would be equally unfair.
