Wipeout Greatest Pure Racing

The developers expressed a desire to return to the handling of Wipeout 2097 and to make various changes to the track design.

Most notably, the pit lane for recharging shields is absent, with the player instead being able to replenish energy by absorbing the currently-armed weapon.

The return to the style of past games and streamlining of the gameplay makes up the "pure" essence of Pure.

Wipeout: Pure uses the Wi-Fi feature of the PSP for multiplayer racing.

The added features of the European version as compared to the US version of the game has unfortunately caused the two versions to be incompatible for the purposes of Wi-Fi multiplayer.

The game introduces the player to the FX300 Racing League, announced 25 years after the sport came to an abrupt end by a controversial disaster that led to a hiatus for nearly 15 years.

It also introduces two new teams to the series, each from very contrasting backgrounds: Harimau, an Asian humanitarian organization which started operating in 2177;

and Triakis, an arms-manufacturing conglomerate which looked to Anti-Gravity racing to exhibit their products.

The league takes place in the man-made island of Makana in Hawaii.

In addition to shielding, each ship has air brakes which can be utilised for navigating through difficult corners at high speed.

The game also features several weapons which can be used against opponents, although some weapons have defensive purposes.

For example, an auto pilot will give control of the player's ship over to the computer for a short period of time, and shields can be used to protect the player's ship from all damage, albeit temporarily.

Offensive weapons include rockets, missiles, plasma bolts and mines.

Game modes include a single race, tournament, time trial and an exclusive "Zone" mode, which revolves around survival as the player's ship increasingly accelerates to extreme speeds.
