Get behind the controls of a Podracer as Anakin Skywalker or any one of over 20 Podracers, as you feel the power of racing a twin-engine craft at 600 miles per hour. Visit eight distinctly detailed worlds as you make your way through Tusken Raider attacks, methane lakes, anti-gravity tunnels, and more. Each intense competition pits you against more than 20 opponents, as you do what you must to be the first to the finish line. With settings and sound effects taken directly from the Phantom Menace world, this ones sure to thrill even the pickiest STAR WARS enthusiasts, while the voice of Jake Lloyd makes the whole event that much closer to being in a movie theater. Each pulse-pounding race has do-or-die stakes, and if you fail to finish in the top spot, it might just mean your peril. As with most STAR WARS games for the Nintendo 64, the details elevate it above ones of similar styles its not just a great STAR WARS game, its a great racing game.

4.0 out of 5 stars A FUN ARCADEY FUTURISTIC RACER 7.75 OUT OF 10, March 24, 2008

This review is from: Star Wars Racer Episode One (Video Game)

Star Wars Episode Racer is a surprisingly fun racing game. It won't make you forget Mario Kart, but it's still a good game to pass the time. If you've seen Episode I you know you'll race the pod racers around several Star Wars racing arenas. The levels are nicely designed, the graphics are good for the time, the racing mechanics are very smooth, plus this game has an insane sense of speed that feels very similar to F-Zero or Top Gear 3000. The gameplay is very smooth and never gives you any trouble. This game has damage modeling for your pod racer, so if you scratch up against a wall too much, one of your engines will explode and you will explode and die. Or, if you crash into a wall to fast you will explode and die, but it's always fun to hear Anakin scream when he explodes. You have many different characters to choose from along with levels which really keeps things fresh and exciting. The main flaws with this game is sometimes it can get a little boring, and the graphics are dated. But if you want to play something other than Mario Kart of F-Zero for your N64, this game is definitely the fix you've been looking for.
