I agree with just about everything he said

1) combat mode is not good, incredibly choppy because you have to stay in the mix, not too worried about this however, in that I will never play it again after the game is beaten

2) while Leungbok thinks that the racebox missing is a shortcoming, and should have been in, I think it is terrible that it has been removed from what would have been a really incredible experience. A very bad oversight as to knowing what wipeout fans love about the game. I am hoping it gets back in soon, even being told it would be in in a month would be great, Single and multiplayer choices, that is where wipeout is really at. It knocks the game down over one letter grade if not more because of this oversight.

3) I wouldn't say the best controls however, it is imo the best of the last 5 games by far, and if they added custom controls and racebox (or exact equivalent), it would start getting into the mix of the first three games for me. I really love the gameplay

4) not really floaty, but the flying is great. I think it gets in the air more than HD because of the speed increase. The slide is like pure xl combo, you can get out of control easy if you are not on the ball.

5) the game is far harder despite the wider track sections than HD, it is not even close. The skill cuts, are skill cuts, and it is difficult many times to stay off the wall

6) A newbie can perform well in this because of the wide tracks, but it will be very difficult for them after season one if they follow the easy routes, they will not get elite passes to unlock things. That is where the racebox would help immensely, no new players are going to be able to unlock everything in single player campaign.

7) I like that the campaign is difficult, some things near impossible, that is great, just make is so you eventually open everything up if you play enough hours, also once again a racebox sort of thing would be good to help this along.

turbos would be great in tt, but it is very fast already. I think they should be in, but not a deal breaker. For speed lap, I can see why they took them out, but have no real opinion on it as I don't play that as much. I think most speed lapers would like it in, so I'll side with that
