Only 4 months after the release of the first Wipeout, we already have available the sequel as Wipeout 2 gets released today in North America. For those who have enjoyed the first game, the second one is obviously a pick-up. Those who were disappointed might find in the sequel the improvements they were hoping for.

It’s so exciting for us to see how thrilled fans are to take home a piece of the Wipeout experience with the videogame series. I am completely confident that Wipeout 2 will deliver the same zany gameplay along with new obstacles that will have players in stitches – the good kind, of course!

- Matt Kunitz, Wipeout’s Creator and Executive Producer

In working so closely with ABC, we’ve been able to make sure that the videogame series stays true to the off-the-wall nature of the show. Families will be able to get their Wipeout fix day or night with Wipeout 2.
