I'm still not really sure what Liverpool was thinking with it, maybe they were trying to compete with more modern racers, maybe they just wanted to try something different...who knows?
Regardless, I hated it at release, and never played it much until I revisited it like 7 or 8 years ago and was kind of surprised that I actually dug it. The music isn't great, the track design isn't great, the ship designs aren't particularly good, I hate all the pilots, but from a pure gameplay stance it still feels pretty great once you adjust to the slightly floatier controls.
It's still the worst in the series, but a "bad" Wipeout is better than most racers of the era.
