It's here tomorrow, and it's cheap! Very cheap! It's exclusive to the PS network and I'm pretty sure it's going to be somewhere around £13/$20. Also, IGN gave it a 9 and IGN UK gave it a 9.2. It runs at 60fps at 1080p, which is incredible. I actually haven't been excited about a game in a while, but I kinda am about this, which is refreshing. Also, it has Mason - Exceeder on the soundtrack, which is an old favourite tune of mine, I'm always the first to start dancing when it goes off in a club! But anyways, you can't miss this if you have a PS3.

I really liked the first game. The second was a lot more slick, but not as good in other ways IMO. I haven't played any other titles in the series since then.

I haven't really played any of the games since the first ones for ps1, but I really like this one.
The addition of the Wipeout 2097 HUD is pretty cool for nostalgia, and online has been fun so far.
Music is excellent, though the soundtrack could use a few more tracks, since there are only 10 or something. I know you can play your own music and all, but still...
Oh yeah and visuals are fucking great, especially awesome in the Zones mode.

Pretty cheap too. I recommend it.

I agree that the only thing I can criticize this game about is the soundtrack. Could have done with maybe 4 or 5 more tracks, at least. I still get an adrenaline rush whenever Exceeder comes on and I'm in the middle of a close race though. Best 12 quid I've spent in a while, as far as games are concerned.
