Wipeout 3
SCORE: 58
I rented WipeOut 3 on the Wii curious to see if it would warrant a purchase. I heard good things about WipeOut 3, so my hopes were high. They were dashed an hour and a half of playing this Wii game. How were they dashed? I completely beat the entire game in an hour and a half. Barely made it worth the cost of the rental.
WipeOut 3 takes families through a video game version of the television show. We are faced with obnoxious comedian hosts that are usually insulting the players. At times their comments can be totally off base. They would say I ran a perfect run even though I had made a few mistakes along the way.
Graphically WipeOut 3 hits quite a few low marks. We have some disturbing images in terms of characters, attire, and violence. The commentators are sure to jump all over you verbally for making a mistake. They will also comment as you are going through areas perfectly.
I blitzed through the entire game of WipeOut 3. I did not lose one round. Or at least the game let me progress from start to finish of each episode, and awarded me the check at the end. A couple of family members can enjoy WipeOut 3.
I found WipeOut 3 to be extremely easy, and repetitive. Many of the same traps are used over and over again. They may have a different design, but ultimately they are the same thing. This is one of the reasons I found WipeOut 3 to be too easy. I also found this home console game to be on the boring side.
WipeOut 3 has a
few glitches that perplexed me. I would fall off things and be just
floating in the water watching the clock tick away. It would take ten to
fifteen seconds for the game to reset. The bouncing balls would
sometimes launch me from the first to the far end, and other times not
even make it to the next bouncy ball. Thankfully failing an obstacle
three times let me progress past it on the next one. Where I would then
sprint to the end of the level - usually.
