Star Wars: Episode I Racer for Windows

Pros: Great graphics, high speed action
Cons: Limited amount of tracks, requires a 3D accelerator, single player only

This is a game based on the Pod race segment of the movie "Star Wars - Episode 1". The graphics are great and with the use of a descent 3D accelerator stunningly realistic. Basic game play is done with a joystick or a flight controller stick,...

Pros: Great graphics, sound, gameplay
Cons: Gets very difficult

I am one of the pickiest gamers you will ever meet. I am one of those types who not only dislikes certain games, but dislikes entire genres of games. For example, I have never found anything fun about any of the Sim games. I have yet to see The Sims,...

Pros: Star Wars brand-name, great graphics, fun game to play
Cons: Skill level not very difficult especially early, no internet gameplay

LucasArts is happy to promote yet another of its Star Wars offshoots in Star Wars EpisodeIV Racer. Want to test your reflexes in a high stakes inter-planetary competition? Well then, Racer is your game. This review covers the PC version of...

Pros: Good graphics, fun racing.
Cons: Little replay value.

Since this was recently re-released here for a budget price, I figured another review wouldn't go astray.

Frankly, the idea of being a Pod Racer, of hurtling a fragile pod towed behind two huge engines, around narrow, obstacle filled tracks...

Pros: Great races, awesome arenas, fun game play, easy to get hang of
Cons: short term pleasure, little replay value

"Now this is Pod Racing!"

Or at least it should be.

The Pod Race sequence in the film is so perfect for all kinds of merchandising follow-ups that sometimes I almost forget what came first- the movie or the...

Pros: Beautifully rendered, very smooth gameplay
Cons: Crashes frequently, and may be a little easy to begin with

GROW UP

Easily the best part in an otherwise terrible movie, the Pod racing scenes have been taken and converted into a top action game. I'm no Star Wars freak, and get annoyed when people refer to it with such hyperbole that you'd...

Pros: good graphics, buy parts for racer.
Cons: bad multiplayer, repetitive.

While episode racer is fun for a while, and they make it more unique by allowing you to buy equipment, it's still the same old thing. The game was fun at the beginning but in the later races the tracks are almost the same thing and the game becomes...

Pros: Star Wars, racing, two player...
Cons: Sometimes tracks too dark and confusing without map feature in two player mode

I gave this game a 7 out of 10.

One of my favorite parts of the newest Star Wars movie was the pod races. So I just had to go out and get this game. I don't regret my decision.

I am a 24 year old male...

Pros: good graphics,good multiplayer
Cons: sometimes yoiu cant tell where to go

The Force is strong with Racer, which succeeds as both a racing game and a Star Wars game. There really isn't a lot of competition for Star Wars: Episode I: Racer on either front. The driving genre hasn't had a lot of hits in the past few months, and the...

Pros: graphics, theme, SFX
Cons: lack of options, badly designed tracks.

forget wipeout,this game kicks the sheer brilliance of the sound effects will blow you away. the second i loaded the game the intro amazed me the graphics were jaw dropping my opinion is not biased and I;m not really a great fan of the star wars movies...

Pros: Just like watching the movie.
Cons: Just like watching the movie.

75 words about this game? That's going to be hard to do. Racer is just a car racing game, with some Star Wars junk thrown in, and the wheels taken off. If you're a huge Yoda junkie, you may get a cheap thrill. If you're already tired of the Star Wars...

Pros: Immense fun, feels superfast, gorgeous graphics
Cons: Only really good in multiplayer

This game is a pure rush to play.

Yes, the single-player game is rather easy to finish (if not to unlock all the single-player racers - I still have yet to unlock Sebulba). So what? I didn't buy this game for the single-player experience. I...

Pros: sound, graphics, online multiplayer
Cons: single player is too easy

The pod racing scene in the movie was one of the coolest parts of the movie. It’s hard to imagine but now Lucas Arts is going to bring this game over to your PC. They have done a good job of bringing you the same sense of speed and exhilaration.
...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

This game rules. You have stop whatever you are doing and go get this game. I am not a Star Wars freak, but I have to admit this game is really addicting. From the cars, to each and every sharp turn, this game rules. I picked Anakin and went through all...

Pros: -
Cons: everything

This game was fun the first coarse, but like all racing games, it was fairly repetative! There was no skill involved to drive these things accept you have to know how to push left and right!

Lots of characters to choose from... But I found...
