In case anyone happens across a used copy of Wipeout Fusion for PS2 and is wondering if it’s as good as the original PS1 games: yes. Buy it now. It’s plenty cool, despite the loss of The Designers Republic as the guiding design house behind the game’s aesthetics.

As for the song, diggin up a decade-old trance classic and giving it a fairly standard remix may not seem like the greatest of ideas, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t work well here. Once again, the Wipeout team have done a fantastic job of selecting songs for the game’s soundtrack, and this new mix of “Papua New Guinea” (also released on the FSOL single Papua New Guinea 2002) is the perfect song for racing armed hovercraft down a carbonite track at speeds exceeding 1000 kilometres per hour.
