  At the end of the day WipEout 2048 is a game that manages to keep the tradition of the WipEout franchise alive, but on the new PS Vita. Newbies to the franchise will face a bit of a learning curve, but one they get used to using each vehicles airbrakes they should find themselves a whole lot better. I was happy to see that such a game like WipEout made the transition to the Vita in pretty good shape resulting in pretty good game.

  WipEout 2048 really has it all for any fans of racing games or for those just looking for a good time. Great visuals, sounds, controls and overall gameplay make for a remarkable experience on a portable device. It's the ultimate WipEout title for gamers on the go and should be considered a must have for any Vita owner with a need for speed and looking to live “Vita” on the edge.

  WipEout’s core experience – fast races, awesome music, and incredible graphics – are better than they’ve ever been in WipEout 2048. However, the game’s more experimental features like motion controls and touch interface fall flat. If you’re hoping for a crazy new WipEout experience on the Vita, you won’t get it. But really now, why would you want one? WipEout 2048 is a fantastic game, and it belongs in every launch Vita.

  Of course, this being a Wipeout game, players can expect incredible looking graphics bathed in neon, as well as attractive scenery, dynamic lighting, a wonderful depth of field that stretches into the distance and plenty of sexy rides.

  If you’ve been enjoying the quality PlayStation Network and PlayStation Portable offerings over the past few years, you’ll find more of the same in Wipeout 2048. The online features should have been a selling point, but technical issues cause them to be more of a sizable defect. While Zone mode is damn near worth the price of admission alone, it’s time for Studio Liverpool to refresh the franchise with some big ideas or hand it over to someone who will.

  Now here's the thing: WipEout 2048 is an interesting little title with a surprising amount of depth for a game that's so shallow in the content department. The graphics are rock solid and the controls are everything you would expect. However, the drawbacks are almost too much to ignore.
