The BBC's very bad remake of "Takeshi's Castle" called Total Wipeout with a feature called Wipeout Zone.

hello quick question ,
in HD when you get fired at from behind, does a well timed absorbing of your pickup stop you taking a hit?
i'm sure i've cheated a few shots like this, i have checked the instructions but they dont mention it

cheers

[Darkdrium777]

No I don't think it does anything.

A well timed auto-pilot on the other hand gets you back in the race much faster.

very true, auto pilot in HD is actually worth using,
especially around the nasty s-bend on ubermall

If you been fired from behind you can save yer arse from that missile or rockets by spotting a bomb ( mines i am not 100% sure) at the right time : the missile or rockets will hit your bomb and not you directly.

A quake will clear up all the bombs in front of you, you can also shoot a bomb or mines ahead of you by the mini gun or rockets or missile : very useful sometimes.

Mines works also to intercept missiles, Asa
