[edit] Overview
The gameplay differs from that of a traditional racing game with cars; the player instead controls vehicles which hover over the ground. In addition to this, the player can pick up weapons to fire at enemies, as well as defensive items. Examples of similar games are the popular F-Zero series and Hi-Octane .
As well as offering a fast and intense racing experience with high-quality 3D graphics, the Wipeout series also features popular electronic music from the time of release and modern design.
