The new WOXL tables have really breathed life back into this version of Wipeout for me.
I just finished flying Sagarmatha, and I'd totally forgotten how great a game XL is.
The crisp speed and bright colours... For the past while I've been playing 3SE when I sat down for some WO, but that version is just so _huge_, it's tough to sit down at it for just a couple minutes. Only having 8 tracks and 4 ships doesn't make XL a "smaller, less worthy" WO, it simply condenses the goodness into a sleek, tight package.
Flying these tracks now (getting a perfect lap and not crashing into a wall out of surprise) I almost find it hard to believe that at one point in time I couldn't beat a couple of those tracks without the Pirhana. And now I can't even stand to use it. 8 )
Anyway, it's good to see some other people in the WOXL tables already.
Lance: You used to have a nice time on Sagarmatha there.
Fox Zero: You might want to do what I did with WOXL, start a new game on a new memory card and not use the Pirhana. It's so much more rewarding the second time through.
