Wipeout HD Fury – Sony PlayStation 3
Wipeout HD is a 2008 racing video game developed by Studio Liverpool and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. It is the eighth installment of the Wipeout series and the first on this platform. It was originally released digitally on the PlayStation Network in September 2008, before a major expansion pack titled Wipeout HD Fury came in July 2009, followed by a retail version made available in Europe in October that year.
The game revolves around players competing in the FX350 anti-gravity racing league, and features selected tracks from its predecessing PlayStation Portable games Wipeout Pure and Wipeout Pulse, although the content has been upgraded to render 1080p visuals in 60 frames per second, and supports stereoscopic 3D.
Wipeout HD and its expansion pack received positive reviews upon release. Critics unanimously praised the game’s 1080p visuals, smooth frame rate, and techno soundtrack – a feature many critics recognised as a hallmark of the Wipeout series.

- Your final score at the end of the track is your score for that attempt.
