Summary

Ever hover through a tunnel at a few hundred miles per hour looking to blow something up? Want to try it? This futuristic racing masterpiece is an update on the popular games WIPEOUT and WIPEOUT XL. You'll negotiate hairpin turns, take stomach-churning drops, and brave gargantuan jumps as you try to blast your opponents into dust with your arsenal of weapons. Using an antigravity, hover-racing vehicle, you'll have to do more than move fast to keep your opponents down. With so many impressive tracks, and such original play, WIPEOUT 64 has a place in any N64 library.
