Wipeout Pulse (stylised as wipEout pulse) is a 2007 futuristic racing video game developed by Studio Liverpool and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Portable. It was released initially in PAL territories, followed by North America in February 2008, and later a PlayStation 2 port in Europe in June 2009. The game is the seventh installment of the Wipeout series and serves as a sequel to Wipeout Pure (2005). It takes place in 2207 and revolves around players competing in the FX400 anti-gravity racing league.
The game was developed by Studio Liverpool. Production was centered around focusing on the feedback left by fans regarding Wipeout Pure, and improving on aspects where the development team thought they had failed in with the predecessor. The game features sixteen licensed music tracks from electronica artists, including Kraftwerk. Wipeout Pulse received positive reviews upon release. Critics praised the graphics and presentation, although some criticized the repetitiveness and high difficulty.
