Wipeout 2 (Microsoft Xbox 360, 2011)

Product Specs

Description

Activision's interactive take on the ABC network's hit prime-time game show returns in a cross-console sequel. Choosing one of several eccentric characters, players run, jump, and slide through raised, padded obstacle courses that play out like a life-sized platform game. The game features more than 50 obstacles, including re-creations of the punishing "Sucker Punch," the near-impossible "Big Balls," and other favorites from the television show. Navigation is complicated by the slippery foam, mud, ice, and snow, as players make their way through both summer- and winter-season courses. Virtual versions of hosts John Anderson and John Henson provide their usual commentary, as contestants perform extraordinary physical feats -- or Wipeout trying. Two players can compete head-to-head in challenges such as "Spinning Slapshot" and "Knee Sweeper." The motion-controlled Xbox 360 edition of Wipeout 2 requires Kinect.
