I bought PURE as soon as i got a PSP, it was the main reason i wanted a PSP.
I played it for weeks on end, still playing it now.

And then.. I found out they'd released a new PSP wipeout game, pulse. I was pretty shocked because i didnt see a reason, wipeout games are very simmilar, so to release a new psp one so soon, what was the point?

Is this game worth buying? what extra stuff does it have, other than tracks/vehicles?

Awesome, the customize skin thing seems cool. Does it let you race it with the skin you've made? or is it just to look at?

To race, obviously. WipEout Pulse is WipEout Pure, but essentially better. And with different tracks.

I'm considering getting it a lot more now, but it feels like im paying £20/30 for just a few extra tracks =/

did you read any of the reviews Haydn linked for you... :)

the game has a lot of extra features, it's the wipeout 3 to 2097, in terms of features. eliminator mode's back, zone modes a million times better than in pure.

yes, there are more tracks, some great, some terrible (outpost 7 anyone) like any new game.

anyway, you should read some of the reviews and cheack out some video review's on youtube too. there's probably a gametrailers one and a 1up one on there somewhere...

I remember the time spent mastering Piranha on that track for single race and TT, and Huntergreg for single lap (Awesome record by the way as it's already been said). And look at the tables! :D What makes O7 so great is that if you try very hard enough, it shows you that every single ship is perfectly balanced, and once you master the ship playing on O7 is very rewarding. :D

Anyways I digress, you should buy WipEout Pulse ;)

Pulse has some really wonderful tracks, and the AI is much more challenging. If you want to see more tracks, you're finding Pure easy, and you'd like to race online, definitely buy Pulse.
On the other hand, if you're still getting plenty of mileage out of Pure, you could probably wait a little while and buy Pulse when it's in the bargain bin, and save some pennies.
Either way, you should definitely buy it and play it while you've got your PSP.

as suggested if you want to play some more wipeout...definitely give pulse a chance!!!
