Description
Wipeout Pure is the sixth game in the Wipeout series, but the first one to be released on a portable gaming device. After the mediocre Wipeout Fusion on the PS2, SCEE Studio Liverpool wanted to take Wipeout back to its roots - back to the simpler, more focused gameplay of Wipeout 2097. Wipeout Pure is generally regarded as having brought the Wipeout franchise back to top form. Along with a welcome return of classic Wipeout gameplay, Wipeout Pure has pioneered a number of technical achievements on the PSP, namely, downloadable content, integrated web browser and PSP Game Share technology.
Wipeout Pure has been awarded a number of awards:
IGN Best of 2005 - PSP, Best Dowloadable Content.
IGN Best of 2005 - PSP, Best Racing/Driving Game.
'Develop Best Handheld Developer Award, 2005' - SCEE Studio Liverpool.
Story
A summary of the game's story. E.g. "Lario was scratching his mustache when Princess Pooch ran away into the computer. He had to contribute to GamerWiki to save her and the whole kingdom.". Try and avoid spoilers!

Trivia
- A cut down playable version of Wipeout Pure is on the Stealth movie UMD. This custom version features a Stealth ship which is not present on the full game.
- The Wipeout Pure download browser caused quite a stir when people realised that you could redirect it to browse normal internet pages. The PSP didn't get a proper web browser until V 2.0 of the ROM software was released, some months later.
- Wipeout Pure was the first PSP game to offer free downloadable content.
