Activision has released Wipeout 2 to the Play Store today for all of you who like to be punished on insane obstacle courses. The second installment forgoes a price tag and is free with the more traditional in-app purchases. Wipeout 2 brings in 135 levels with 150 themed obstacles to dash your way through. The game is based on the TV show of the same name from ABC that aired a number of years ago. Personally I preferred the original Takeshi’s Castle out of Japan. Those guys were crazy.
You have 10 characters to choose from, including zomie. Each can be customized and upgraded as you make your way through the games. Activision packed in special daily courses, rewards and Google Play Leaderboards to give you some bragging rights over your friends failed attempts at greatness. Google Play Games appears to be required when you first open the game and the title page offers Facebook login for competing. Each level has a time limit set to gain your star rating. The controls are simple to catch onto and don’t have any of the annoying on-screen buttons. It is all handled with sliding and swiping on the left corner and right corner.
Take a quick watch and then feel free to give it an install and see how you hold up against the courses.
