if you know you like ridge racer games buy them, i love wipeout games and love pure. the speed and look are just what i want. some people just can't get into the wipeout series, but i wouldn't use ps2 version to decide as it's slow- something a wipeout game should not be. i feel if you liked both tyes of games wipeout is a better pick up because it is making the best use of various psp features with online content.
