Taking hairpin turns and navigating loop-the-loops at 500 mph is Wipeout’s equivalent of a boring straightaway.

There's no next generation oomph that sneaks up and slaps you on the face like that little bald orange man from the old Tango drink ads, no real sense of feeling justified for making that step up from 32- to 128-bit.
91
The most accessible, fastest, most potent version of the series. It’s arguably the best of the four games that make up the series, but nobody can deny that’s easily the prettiest.

This game has the best tracks I've played so far in the wipeout series but it is kind of buggy and the maneuvering of the crafts feels stiff in comparison to the other games.

Muito divertido, gráficos bons , mapas bons , músicas boas ,jogabilidade boa , o jogo é curto e apresenta bugs onde você sai do mapa por bugar e o jogo não tem uma campanha definida
7
One of the original and most popular PSX titles upgraded for the PS2 should've been a slam-dunk, but despite the graphics being higher resolution they actually look worse thanks to inferior design. The physics are not as raw or convincing, the music is bland, the tracks less interesting and the weapons not as well thought out. As a whole it feels more like one of Wipeout's many copycats than the real thing and although it compares favourably to most of the clones, it's still comfortably the weakest Wipeout game of the entire series.

A much deeper and more immersive racer. WipEout fusion less an exercise in memorization and precision than 3...A triumph, as expected. [June 2002, p.52]

Wonderful! Just speed and fun coming at player directly. Wipeout fusion is an excellent collection of tracks, ships and fun factor. Can't recommend this enough!

Wipeout almost never dissapoints. This time, as always, game is a masterpiece! Sensation of movement, speed and futuristic vibes really is unparallel. This game introduces variety of tracks, ships and challenges, which makes it a true blast to play. Wipeout is really an unique experience in gaming and I love it!

The response of each craft, no matter how demanding, feels gloriously authentic and exudes the same order of weighty behaviour which so successfully separates A-Spec from GT2.

Fusion's control, graphics and tracks are so spot-on that once mastered, weaving through the curves at supersonic speeds becomes second-nature. [June 2002, p.112]

The adrenaline-pumping thrill, sensory bombardment, and frantic combat have been cranked up for PS2. [June 2002, p.34]

While Wipeout Fusion does not stray too far from the formula created by the original, the small pieces it does alter often detract from what made the previous titles so great.

Best game in the series in my opinion I like the emphasis on combat. It makes the racing so exciting and tense

I love Wipeout, Wipeout 2097, Wip3out and even Wipeout Pulse. Why hat Wipeout Fusion has to be such an disappointment. Apparantly others can find joy here, I gonna just sell this game and rebuy Wipeout Pulse. It is just slower, you die much to easy, even when the weapons are turned off, and the gameplay is just NOT Wipeout: The airbreaks make almost no effect, you don't accelerate like in a Wipeout game, and you can not just repeat the track if you don't do it well, but have to cancel the whole league. All of this was better in Wipeout 1,2 and 3 and some of it comes back in Wipeout Pulse.

Graphiquement très présentable (pour de la PS2) si on le considère avec un oeil de 2013 et très beau si on le considère à son époque (on ne trouvait pas beaucoup mieux dans le genre à dire vrai). D'autant plus dommage du coup, ces **** ralentissements qui viennent ternir le tableau parfois. Ambiance sonore et musicale toujours excellente cependant. Le gros problème de Fusion, c'est qu'il est devenu bien trop bourrin et con par rapport aux deux premiers épisodes sur PS1 : concurrents trop agressifs, trop d'armes, trop de violence (!)... un Wipeout c'est surtout des trajectoires et des bonus de vitesse et de précision, ce n'est pas simplement dégommer tous les connards devant soi (non Conan, ce n'est pas un jeu pour toi... enfin normalement). Ce Wipeout est devenu tellement débile qu'il n'est pas rare de finir une course à 2 ou 3 concurrents... c'est n'importe quoi.
SummaryIt's WipEout time again, with the fourth instalment of the critically acclaimed series exploding onto PlayStation 2. Once again you must push your reactions and abilities to the limit in order to leave your rivals in the dust. With 45 futuristic race circuits to negotiate, WipEout Fusion will have you corkscrewing, jumping, barrel-rollin... Read More
