WIPEOUT HD FURY FARTHEST 1080P
WIPEOUT HD FURY FARTHEST FULL

From the guts of WipEout Pulse we get the loop and chicanes of Talon's Junction, the rollercoaster drop of The Amphiseum and the sweeping curves and hell-for-leather straights of Tech De Ra. There are 12 additions to the available courses, and all are drawn from the recent PSP past of the series rather than the classic PSone and PS2 years. At higher difficulties, Eliminator is one of the most thrilling - and punishing - things you can do with a PS3. If it's all too much you can swap back to the old front-end from the options screen, but chances are you'll be too busy diving into the new single-player Campaign grid or firing up the Racebox to try out the new tracks. The XMB graphics are altered, the menu screen is an angry red rather than pristine white, the music pounding techno instead of chilled ambient. Installing the hefty 700MB download instantly changes the game. Some of the new stuff will be familiar from Pulse and Pure on the PSP, but blazing from a decent-sized LCD, it's meadow fresh. What we actually get is an honest-to-goodness expansion, a suite of three new game modes that transform and evolve the core WipEout experience in major ways. You'd be forgiven for expecting the usual track pack, with a few new vehicle skins sprinkled on top.

The Fury add-on has a lot to prove, not only maintaining the high standard of its parent but justifying its price, which, standing at a big and scary £7.99, is almost equal to what the full game costs. The lush visuals are nothing new, however, and we are gathered here today, dearly beloveds, to consider the game's first salvo of downloadable content. Even hours into a prolonged session, there are moments where you're distracted by some particularly lovely moment - some gracefully detailed track curve thrown past you at eye-watering speed that makes you sigh inwardly and wonder why all games can't look this good.

1080p resolution and 60fps should be the rule, not the exception, and returning to Sony Liverpool's ferocious future racer it still retains its power to impress. It's rather disheartening that almost a year after its release, WipEout HD is still the only game properly delivering on the glittering promise of the high-def generation.
