Crucially, Pulse has that rare addictive quality that makes you want just one more go before quitting - a promise you'll still be breaking an hour later. It's a game you'll always improve at, yet never quite master, and even when you've completed all the challenges and all the grids, there are still lap times and medals you feel you can beat.
Whether gamers who own a PS3 as well as a PSP will ignore this in favour of downloading WipEout HD from the PS Store is debateable. If you're still PS3-less, then Pulse is everything you'd expect from an awesome WipEout game - CVG can't recommended it highly enough.
