54 of 59 people found the following review helpful Amazingly Fun - Highly Recommended, April 3, 2005 By  Lisa Shea "medieval swordfighting enthusiast" - See all my reviews          = Fun:  This review is from: Wipeout Pure (Video Game) Wipeout Pure is the Pod Racer game for the Sony PSP. Coming from a 10 year line of Wipeout racing games, the transition to PSP is almost flawless. In essence you are one of 8 hovercraft racing ships that compete on looped tracks in a variety of arena styles. Your tracks take you through rural landscapes, through busy cities, in underwater tunnels and in high off-the-ground jumps. Whether you're used to this genre from the wipeout series or from the pod racing games, you know how full of adrenaline and fun this can be. You get the traditional power-ups as you go around the loops, picking up speed boosts, mines, guns, laser blasts, shields and more. Much of the challenge here is to really memorize a track, so that you can whip around its courses with intuitive ease, sliding gently to grab that extra boost to go past your enemy. The PSP screen might be small, but the graphics are so detailed in this game that you really don't notice. You get roaring crouds, rippling water, great lighting details, customized ships, legible signs. There's no problem at all seeing what the course is doing or where to dodge. The sounds are going to appeal to some and not appeal to others. If you like dance / electronic music you will really enjoy this. If you'd rather have a hard rock blasting track, you might be disappointed. You can always turn the volume up or down based on your preference. The sound does come across much better in the headphones because of the high notes being played. Try the music that way before you make any judgement. The learning curve is a little steep - even the first races are a challenge. Don't give up, though. You need to learn how to use the joystick, how to understand the tracks, how to use the brakes and ease up on the accelerator. You can't just blast around the track at full speed, missing the boosts, and expect to win. There is a fair amount of strategy here - when to slow down to negotiate the curves, when to slide left to grab that boost. Give yourself a number of laps to really learn the course - and then use that knowledge to achieve victory. The sequential challenge mode is really great once you've used the training modes to study the tracks. You can take on 7 other racers and test your skills. It is GREAT with the wireless connections to play against 7 other friends who are on the bus with you or in the same room! That is where this game really shines. You get the great graphics, great gameplay, and now you're effortlessly racing against all of your friends too. You really couldn't ask for much more from a handheld game. If I *had* to find something to improve for a sequel, I'd ask for a wider range of music selections. That's about it! Highly recommended! 5/5 Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  Report abuse | Permalink  Comment 32 of 37 people found the following review helpful Worthy successor in classic series., March 24, 2005 By  Jon Folkers (Silver Spring, MD United States) - See all my reviews    = Fun:  This review is from: Wipeout Pure (Video Game) It's hard to believe that the first Wipeout was released 10 years ago on the original Sony Playstation (One). Since then, there was one excellent sequel on the PSOne (Wipeout XL, known as Wipeout 2097 in the UK and on the Macintosh), a decent later sequel (Wipeout 3), a capable Nintendo 64 version (Wipeout 64), and a fun but dated Playstation 2 edition (Wipeout Fusion). The newest game, Wipeout Pure, combines the best elements of all of these games. Like all of them, the action is fast, the framerate is smooth, the difficulty is high, and a pulsing techno soundtrack follows you wherever you go. You get the usual single race series, tournament series, time attacks, and practice laps, all of which open up more tracks and speeds as you finish first in races. This version adds a bunch of extra ship classes, as well as a terrific Zone option right from the start without needing to unlock anything. In Zone mode, you just go faster and faster until you crash -- a sign of things to come on the later rounds. The main limitations I've had with this game are because of the hardware. I find that the analog nubbin is not comfortable to use for long periods of time, and the built in speakers do not do justice to the great spatial sound effects and music. Fortunately, the digitial controls are solid and comfortable, and the PSP's stock headphones make listening to the game while you play an absolute joy. This is a great game, and a showcase for both the terrific Wipeout series, and the brand-new PSP hardware. Even though both the Wipeout brand and the Playstation brand are old now, Pure and the PSP have breathed new life into this classic racer. Get it.

The look and feel of the Wipeout series has been perfectly captured on the new platform. Difficulty ramps up nicely after you mosey around the tracks on the starter levels and unlock the faster levels. Free-practice lets you learn a track inside and out until you're ready to take on a real race. And once you're sick of playing against the AI it's dead-simple to challenge your mates head-on or merge their best lap-times with yours to beat on the tube. There is however a gripe: you have to go through about 6 screens before you get to the main menu.. so switching from listening to music to playing Wipeout Pure takes quite a while. There should be a 'quick-launch' option - straight into the main menu with your save game auto-loaded. [EDIT - 2005.06.13] Having played the game for a while now, I've come across situations where the title will crash from time to time. This happens mostly shortly after resuming from standby mode, so take care. So far it doesn't seem to happen if I enter standby mode from the menu, rather than from inside a game. WARNING: On one occasion a crash corrupted my savegame - so back up your game save data from time to time!! This is easily done by connecting your PSP to your PC with a USB cable. On another note, the first download pack (Gamma) has been available for a while now, adding more tracks and another ship - awesome!!

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Friendship Stamp Set (Toy) We gave this to our 3-year-old for Christmas. She LOVES it. She spends a lot of time stamping paper and then coloring in the pictures she makes. It's made of wood and very sturdy. It also comes with colored pencils and two stamp pads of different colors, which is nice. We are very pleased with this stamp set.

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Friendship Stamp Set (Toy) I got this for my 11 year old daughter and was thrilled.

I think she is going to really enjoy decorating notes and such as the stamps are varied and good for children to adults.

This makes storing this stamp set much more difficult. We have the dinosaur stamp set which has the cover and nothing falls out of it. I wish they would return to including the cover!
