When I first heard that Wipeout ( a futuristic racing game) was being converted to the Saturn I was not really interested, this was due to the dogs breakfast that was the Saturn version of Daytona USA. If the Saturn could not handle Daytona USA then how could it handle Wipeout (which was far more graphically intensive and much faster).
To my eternal surprise the Saturn version is superb! The graphics are lovely, almost identical to the Playstation version but with the very occasional pop up and slightly wobbly scenery. The sound is just as good with a fantastic soundtrack although unlike the Playstation version which featured tracks from Chemical Brothers and Leftfield the soundtrack here was composed entirely by Cold Storage (an in-house development team at Psygnosis)

Despite these flaws this game is still a classic and I would recommend it to any fans of the genre, it is cheap and easy to pick up.
