Things I don't like:

1. The atmosphere. Something's just missing... It's all a little too neon with all the funky lights and effects everywhere. Loved the first 3 incarnations' atmosphere, especially the one from Wipeout 2097. I can't quite put my finger on what's missing, but as others have pointed out before, there's TOO MUCH going on. Every track has the same general feel, except for Platinum Rush, which I find awesome. For me this is the most important thing next to the handling in a Wipeout game. Of course this is a personal thing, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot of Wipers who like to see a difference.


2. Handling. Controls are too easy which has led me to use the less manoueverable ships most of the time. Those ships feel a little more like old Wipeout. When I'm going for some Time Trialling it's harder for me to see what I've done worse or better than on other laps (in perfect laps, that is... ), except for missing the obvious Barrel roll or two. During most of my time trials all I have to do now is focus on not missing any barrel roll and not crashing against any wall afterwards (especially in places where it's less usual to use a BR). This is just incredibly boring. Racing lines are still there but it just doesn't feel as rewarding as before getting it right, because it's too damn easy.

3. Bugs, bugs, bugs. These have all been pointed out.

4. The music. Not very strong and some songs annoy me. Exceeder is okay but too repetitive.

There are no other things I don't like about Pulse, but if these 4 points had been better, I'd enjoyed the game a whole lot better.
