Just to check that it was WipEout being too hard and not me being too rubbish, I dug this out. I started it up, selected a race and won it. (I’d played about five or six races in WipEout and come last in all of them.) Tried another race, a class up, and won that. Tried another race… and got blown up while I was about sixth with only about half a lap to go. Still, yes, WipEout Pure is much, much easier and a better game for it.

Also, I thought WipEout wasn’t looking too bad for its age, and maybe it’s not, but the difference when I started up WipEout Pure was amazing. It looks incredible. We’ve come a long way.
