Okay, first things first - get this game
NOW.
That's over with, let's move on.
Zone Mode. For god's sake, zone mode. The premise is simple.
1. Pick a track.
2. Pick a team (all the hover cars are the same stats, just the team changes)
3. Stay alive for as long as possible on that track, as the speed of your car increases steadily, from "Sub-Venom" (slowest) to Zen (as far as I've gotten).
It's so well executed and stylized - the track is stripped of all textures and replaced with colors depending on the zone "milestone" you have reached - every time you reach another milestone, a wave of epic brightness comes from behind your ship and colors the track in a new scheme. There are a ton of dynamic equalizers as well, moving to the music that's playing in-game (did I mention you can have custom soundtracks?).
Here's a high-quality video. Watch it. That only goes to zone 25.

faster. I can picture myself playing the game, hunched over, focused on the screen, squinting eyes as the track whips past as supersonic speed...
I love Wipeout.
