“This game absolutely nails the late 90s/early 2000s racing aesthetics and mechanics. BallisticNG does anti-grav racing better than Wipeout at times. The physics are divine with both the classic floaty Wip3out/Wipeout XL…”

“Wow, just wow. Takes me back to the rush I had with Wipeout Pure and Pulse for the PSP back in the day. Looks and runs incredible. Kicking myself for only discovering this one in 2026.”

“extremely fun AG racer. soundtrack is all bangers too”
“Very good anti gravity racing game! A genre that is somewhat of a lost art really. This game is about as good as it gets, looks and feel wise! Soundtrack is amazing. The game is easy to play, difficult to master. Tons…”

“Great game, just make sure to disabled the "AI matches speed" option in the settings if you want the later races to be even remotely possible.”
“10/10 Racing game. I wish I was better at it.”
“Nintendo has let a good IP die F-zero is one of my all time favorite racing games and people say GX is hard to play but this isn't something you can just easy jump in to and play. Practice makes perfect its hard to play…”

“Great clone of the original Wipeout games, say 1 -3 on the PSX. We can argue over whether they nailed the polish of the controls, I can't really tell. I try different vehicles if I feel the controls are getting janky…”

“I installed the game, I started a race, was overwhelmed by the speed and "ding, donged around"... But then...suddenly...I remembered my training at the wipeout academy. Now I am locked and loaded, pin pointing razor sharp turns, scratching edges with the tip of my wings, while…”
