Similar zone experience for me. I was stuck at zone 72 for ages (I just couldn't get the hang of the all black colour scheme at Mach 1 level) then had a long break concentrating on fury campaign. Upon my return to zone mode I owned it and got my Zone Zeus trophy. Admittedly not at first time of asking!

Funny story - I wore my jogger's heart rate monitor to see how much the adrenalin was affecting me - I was at 138 bpm on from zone 65 onwards! That equivalent to a reasonably fit person jogging at about 5.2 mph! It is official... playing WipEout is actually cardiovascular exercise!!! =D

I'd also like to say that I recently found out about the cheat on Anulpha Pass forwards some people use to get their multi-hundred-thousand scores - deliberately bailing on the overpass and simply taping the D-pad down to keep it going for ages - and I think it's despicable. There should be some kind of patch made that doesn't allow scores obtained in this way to be posted on the global leader board.

How do other people feel about this?
