Wipeout Pure is easily one of the finest launch titles available for PSP. The package comes complete with beautiful visuals, outstandingly polish gameplay, a thumping score, Wi-Fi play, and the promise of additional downloadable content in the future. New features such as Zone mode should appeal to even the most rabid fans of the series. While a few framerate issues keep its presentation from being completely flawless, there's no doubt that Pure will stun even the most jaded onlookers. It can be rather difficult at times, so be wary. But players who give themselves to Wipeout Pure will get plenty back in return. The race is on, and it couldn't be much more lovely.

Wonderful menus, beautiful box art, and unlockable image galleries help shape a beautiful package. If only the game auto-loaded player profiles and had a better online lobby, it would be perfect.

From it's wonderful course design and trackside detail, to its stylish ships and weapon effects, this game is beautiful. Minor framerate issues arise occasionally keeping it from perfection.

You won't find better licensed electronic soundtrack out there, and effects are crisp, bassy, and wonderful. The PSP brings a new high to handheld gaming.
9.0 Gameplay
Pure is one of the finest playing games in the series. There are plenty of modes to choose from. Tournament play could be more forgiving, and the difficulty can be high, but it's fulfilling.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
Wi-Fi multiplayer is wonderful, aside from lobbying issues and there's plenty of single-player content to enjoy. Downloadable content is promising, indeed.
