As with most things on the iPhone, awesomeness it easier determined from seeing video or the game live. Some titles I've seen that look mediocre in screenshots look freaking awesome in motion.

I'm curious to see how this one turns out. But after not having gone back to Low Grav Racer or Phaze after the first few tries, I'm starting to lose hope for finding a good WipeOut experience.

..strangely, there was something good about the original WipeOut's digital controls and sweeping tracks. I'm not sure that it'll be easy to replicate that feel on the iPhone.

I don't think it looks awesome. It looks ok at best.

iNinja and Catwoman were both console games (the iNinja on the app store is probably in breach of trademark actually).

I don't see 'Cat Woman' in iTunes. Just this, Penguin Clock and Surfer Clock. What is Cat Woman?

"Owens tells us — one example being a wormhole that can transport the player to a point further down the track."

That's more something which you would find in Lego Racers, heh.

Though this is not finished yet, I think the graphics aren't as good as some of the other games in this genre.

Kinda reminds me of Flux Challenge on my Pocket PC. One of my favorite games on it.

Looks good, we might finally have a good wipeout-style racer.
