Wipeout: The Game user reviews (Wii)

Pros Graphics similar to the TV Show

Cons Characters controls are very hard to manipulate. There is no real help to learn how to do this. They need a tutorial mode complete with hints or better yet, just make it easier to move the characters.

Pros The commentary is pretty funny at times
Some of the wipeouts can be huge

Cons Basically the same obstacles over and over again
Characters are limited and very creepy when they wipe out
I have never seen a game that freezes as often as this one does, and appears to be full of bugs

Summary I am hoping that my son that enjoys playing this game gets over it soon because constantly having to reboot the system because the game keeps freezing is getting to be very annoying, especially when he gets so upset everytime it happens.

Pros It reminds me of the game show but that's about it

Cons The graphics are kind of crappy. You don't use the Wii board and only use 3 buttons on the controls. It's very difficult to control your character and the character choices are horrible.

Summary It totally stinks that you don't use the Wii board and barely use the controls. They should have put it on the playstation or XBox and had much better graphics considering you only need 3 buttons to play and the occasional shake of the controller. Wish it was more interactive, very disappointed.

Pros funny, great graphics, feel like you're actually doing the course

Cons limited character options, I think after you play the first round it unlocks more choices though. The 2nd player doesn't have a lot of momentum. We can't figure out how to get extra power to the additional players.

Summary The instruction book in the wii game is not helpful. it tels you the functions of the control and gives a brief synopsis of each task, it doesn't tell you what to do to gain more energy etc...I don't like the fact that on the first round if you have 2 players in the same weight range they have to pick opposite characters. In other words if one has chosen the girl the other player has to choose the boy or go to a different weight class.
