Fatal Inertia (Koei)

Remember Wipeout?

Game Review by Zach Morris | 08 Oct 2007
Remember Wipeout? Hovering vehicles screaming around race tracks shooting the crap out of each other on the PS1/2? You do, good. Well, then you will be fairly familiar with the concept for Fatal Inertia. Rich corporations make and race hover jobbies, but on the 360. The basic premise is very similar, and while FI does have somewhat shinier graphics, some pop-up and a lack of a sense of speed do counter this. And while there are many tracks - all of which have randomly generated time of day and weather effects which affect your racing style - it is hard to shake that 'poor man's' feel. While there is a nice array of weaponry and obviously there are online capabilities, whether you will want to put in the time to become a master... Well, it depends on how badly you miss Wipeout.
