Wipeout Clones

Hey!
One of my favorite games on the PSP was Wipeout, I was surprised and happy to see that there were quite a few Wipeout clones for Android (eg: Turbofly). After doing a little reading and learning of GS (I want to eventually make a few games that I would like to play myself) I'm wondering if anyone here has made a wipeout clone using GS (or is it even possible to do so using GS)?
Cheers!

I doubt GS has anything close to making wipeout. GS is severely limited to 2D type games. I have seen some very good veterans of GS make some demos that I think are refered to as 2.5D. Wipeout was an awesome game...I originally played it on Playstation 1st Gen. Fun game.

Ha! You're like me
Loved it on the PS so got it on the PSP as well and used to play it everyday on my way to work... the only bother was when I had to get off to actually walk the last part to my office and I had not completed my level 
Check out "turbofly" in the android marketplace (full disclosure: I am in no way affiliated with the makers of that game) it's a decent clone and pretty smooth but not as large as the original, I'm sure you will enjoy it, worth the two bucks anyway (they also have a free version).
Now I'm really curious as to what software is being used to make those games/clones...
It would probably be a game maker utilitizing 3D models, I believe. Like Unity or UDK. I imagine it takes great skillz to learn to do that.

I used to program in Java a while back, and program in Python/PHP now, I heard of Unity but settled onto GS as Unity seemed like overkill for what I had in mind. Maybe after I finish with my little game/s I need to put Unity back on my hope-to-do list
