Wipeout Fusion (stylized as WipEout FuSion) is a 2002 futuristic racing video game developed by Studio Liverpool and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. The fifth instalment in the Wipeout series, following Wipeout 3 (1999), it was the first as well as the only original Wipeout title for PlayStation 2, with a port of Wipeout Pulse in 2009 being the only other Wipeout released on the platform. The game takes place in 2160 and revolves around players competing in the F9000 anti-gravity racing league. Wipeout Fusion received positive reviews upon release, with particular praise being directed at its techno soundtrack, but its graphics and track design received mixed responses from critics.
