"In 1996, a small European developer called Psygnosis managed to create Sony's answer to F-Zero. Wipeout became the flagship title for futuristic racers on the PlayStation. But it was in 1997 that the sequel came along and took no prisoners. Wipeout XL dropped at a time when the PSone was catching lots of sales momentum and closed out a tremendous year for franchise sequels. Boasting lightning-fast speed, diverse tracks, and a soundtrack that tapped into the media's short-lived thirst for electronic music, Wipeout XL wasn't just an awesome racing game, it was a line in the sand between Sony's hipster appeal and Nintendo's classicism." - GameSpy
