Review
Wipeout 3 is
(obviously) the third game in the franchise for the PlayStation. While
the original saw release on the Saturn, XL and 3 are PSX
exclusive, with a odd remixed version being released for the Nintendo
64.
The demo allows for
an infinite practice lap around the single stage of the game, and once
you’re content, you may then race the same track against other
competitors. There is no title screen in the demo; just opening cinema,
and then right to the race. Interestingly, the included track is very
brutal, demanding many hairpin turns, somewhat foreshadowing the
difficulty of the final release.
See the game’s main
page for more details.

Trivia
- The E
in the Wipeout title has always been an oversized font compared
to the rest of letters. The third game allows for the 3 to be
mirrored against the E. Just a graphic designer thing, but neat none the
less.
-
Speaking of fonts, the back of the demo sleeve actually shows the font
information: F-500 (Ang-ular)
- One of
the few American releases, demo, full retail or otherwise, that displays
the Japanese Dual Shock logo.
- The
first time the cover displayed a graphic design rather than CG artwork.
They went back to CG with the PS2 and PSP release.
- The
actual opening CG and loading screen oddly display the words that
describe them.
- No
music is present in the demo’s actual track / play area.
