Mini Review: Antigraviator – This Anti-Gravity Imitator Wipes Out on PS4

So-so, speed racer.

WipEout is an excellent target to aim for, but rarely do attempts at recapturing the series’ magic get it right. Unfortunately, that’s the case with Antigraviator, a newly released, high speed, anti-gravity racing game. It features a handful of different customisable ships to pilot through a few different race types, and swaps out weapon pick-ups for traps that remind us of Split/Second: Velocity’s environmental takedowns. Sadly, even this gimmick doesn’t do enough to make the game stand out.

It plays roughly as you’d expect, and rough is the word. While the ships are responsive to your inputs and it’s ultra-fast, you’re traveling at such speeds that turning becomes almost impossible without hitting the barriers. You can use an air brake and barrel rolls to make tighter turns and adjustments, but even then you’re still going to be grinding along those outer walls; if you have difficulty with WipEout, forget Antigraviator. Even the AI struggles to fly a clean lap. The aforementioned traps are pretty much unavoidable, and difficult to trigger against opponents because you’ll fly by them so fast.
