4.0 out of 5 stars Great Game! Good music!
"Wipeout 2097" is the sequel to "Wipeout" and delivers more futuristic racing, which the original game was all about. "Wipeout 2097" is set in the year 2097, and the game boast many improvements over the previous game. The graphics are better, the sound is better(although the music isn`t quite as good as the original), the gameplay is greatly improved so that it`ll be...

2.0 out of 5 stars I was really wishing for better Mac version...
I'm a huge Wipeout fan ever since it was one of the first true 3D hardware-enabled titled for the PC. Besides the PC, I've played versions for the PS2 and Nintendo 64. Upon seeing this for the Mac, I just about went nuts and ordered a copy. Nothing but disappointment since. I've tried running it on my older PPC Mac (OS 9.1), but it doesn't like my 3DFX card very much,...

This review is from: Wipeout 2097 (Mac) (CD-ROM)
I'm a huge Wipeout fan ever since it was one of the first true 3D hardware-enabled titled for the PC. Besides the PC, I've played versions for the PS2 and Nintendo 64. Upon seeing this for the Mac, I just about went nuts and ordered a copy. Nothing but disappointment since. I've tried running it on my older PPC Mac (OS 9.1), but it doesn't like my 3DFX card very much, the frame rate studders quite a bit, and the graphics have a washed-out look. Moving over to my more modern G4 Cube and OSX, the frame rate problem goes away, but the graphics are still very washed out with a 'gray' tone to them along with bad visual effects, like the explosions and hovercraft vapour trails. Network playability also only appears to work under OS 9.1, I haven't figured out how to get the option enabled under OSX. This is not the same quality game I remember from my earlier PC and console gaming days, so far just a big letdown.

This review is from: Wipeout 2097 (Mac) (CD-ROM)
"Wipeout 2097" is the sequel to "Wipeout" and delivers more futuristic racing, which the original game was all about. "Wipeout 2097" is set in the year 2097, and the game boast many improvements over the previous game. The graphics are better, the sound is better(although the music isn`t quite as good as the original), the gameplay is greatly improved so that it`ll be enjoyed more by newcomers and experts alike. The game is excellent, but it really isn`t that different from the previous game, so if you didn`t like "Wipeout", you won`t like "Wipeout 2097". Recommended!

Lots of fun!
