This is the best example of how to update an old classic I've seen yet. All the updates have done is shine the game up a little and make it playable on modern systems while leaving the original game and what made it great intact. Another important touch is the ability to selectively disable the enhancements to play it the way you want. My only issue is that selecting the 8 bit sounds option didn't make the game sound exactly the same as running through Dosbox, which was a little disappointing as I would've prefered using them. Special mention for the CRT filter though as it's more important than people realise to recreating the look of a game designed for CRT screens as they had a natural blending/antialiasing effect that leaving old school graphics looking a little worse without it.
Just as thrilling to race now as it was 19 years ago. I can't believe how well they nailed the feeling of speed and just barely held control of twin jet engines that made the movie scenes so enthralling. The graphics have not aged too well but they still manage to portray the feeling of the Star Wars universe and it's not like you even notice when boosting at 600mph around a tight corner with the overheat warning screaming at you. If you want to use an xbox 360 controller I strongly recommend following the guide from https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/8grwg3/star_wars_racer_xbox360_controller_axes/ to set it up
