First of all, let me just start off by saying that Wipeout Pulse is an extremely beautiful game (as is Pure), with graphics easily amongst the best on the PSP from both a technical and artistic perspective.

However, I have to question the wisdom of putting so much graphical detail into a game that's pretty much about racing at incredibly high speeds. Especially when it affects the frame-rate so much. Not so bad on time trials, zone etc. but very noticeable on 8-ship races, especially at the higher speed classes. It's certainly an improvement over Pure, but still not ideal.

Personally, I'd rather have less detail, and a smoother, more consistent frame-rate - a bit like what F-Zero X did back on the N64, but obviously not as extreme. What do others think?
