WipEout HD: Fury (PlayStation 3)

• WipEout HD (base game)

In Wipeout HD players can choose from a variety of futuristic racers and try to beat the other pilots or the clock to win the race.

The game contains several different racing leagues. To unlock the next league, the player has to win a certain amount of points in the current one. The main difference between each league is that the game gets progressively faster and thus it's harder to keep control of the racer. The race modes are single race, tournament, time trial, fastest lap and zones, where acceleration is automatic, and the single goal is to survive as long as possible without the ship breaking apart.

Ships are controlled mainly by air brakes to achieve tight turns at high speeds. In certain race modes, players also have power-ups at their disposal, like weapons and speed boosts. It is possible to win a race by destroying the entire competition as well. The game also features a multiplayer online mode.

• WipEout HD: Fury (expansion)

WipEout HD: Fury is an expansion pack for WipEout HD and requires the original game to play. It includes:

• 8 new tracks
• 13 new ship models
• 3 new game modes (2 support online multiplayer)
• 80-event campaign mode
• New trophies
• Re-styled front-end
• Improved and new multiplayer functionality
• 6 new music tracks

Four of the new tracks are taken from WipEout Pure (Modesto Heights) and WipEout Pulse (The Amphiseum, Talon's Junction, and Tech De Ra). All of these include reverse versions as well. The other four tracks were also previously featured in WipEout Pure (Pro Tozo, Mallavol, Corridon 12, and Syncopia), but these can only be played in the three new game modes.

The three new game modes are:

• Detonator: this mode uses a new ship model and has the player score points by destroying mines and taking out a bomb. It consists of fourteen stages (singleplayer only).
• Eliminator: be the first to reach a target score by destroying opponents. Racing itself is no longer important (singleplayer + multiplayer).
• Zone battle: races with automatic acceleration. Speed is gained by swooping over zone pads that fill up a zone bar. Each pad increases the speed, but this heightens the risk of crashing and slowing down again. There are obstacles, called zone barriers, left behind by opponents as they boost towards a target zone (singleplayer + multiplayer).
