After a few go-rounds and unlocking some good fighter ships, the combat events become as fun as the main races -some people might even grow to like them more. Since it's not a race, however, sneaky players might turn around and snipe fools. Taking place on the same tracks as standard racing, combat stages might draw some WTFs at first, but they're actually well-done and, after you get the hang of them, provide as much fun as the races.
Outside of the regular races, battle mode focuses on the destruction of opponents rather than the rush toward a checkered flag. Previous installments didn't have as many power-up spots, suggesting a greater emphasis on combat in 2048. You will enjoy this added layer of strategy and memory in knowing what type of weapon you need at what times, so making sure to drive over the pad that can give it to you can make a big difference in the outcome of an event.
Weapon pick-up pads in 2048 are divided into defensive and offensive categories drive over a green defensive pad and you're bound to pick up something like mines or a speed boost, while driving over a yellow offensive pad snags rockets and other projectiles. Races are much faster and more difficult, thanks in part to the inclusion of twitch skills and mechanics like strafing and barrel rolling. For one thing, it's a lot harder to connect with the projectiles in WipEout, and when one does get clocked, it's usually not as damning. True, both are racing games that involve shooting opponents with power-ups, but that's about where the similarity begins and ends. Those new to the series will inevitably compare this to Mario Kart, which, while somewhat valid, are not as accurate as they might initially seem. Don't glance away, consider changing your major, or think about where to get lunch, because your ass will be eating a wall the split second your mind wanders.Īs usual, players blaze around a futuristic track and pick up weapons which they must use wisely on their path to the winner's circle.
Per series tradition, races in WipEout are ridiculously fast.
