STAR WARS™ Episode I: Racer

One of my favorite racing games ever

Oddly enough I've finished the game at the beginning of 2018, though I've played it a few times before in my younger years. To the game's benefit it really keeps the feeling of the pod racing sequence from Episode 1. Most of the voice over, I think, is done by the same people that were involved in the movie, soundtrack is top notch, the speed with which the racers move and their handling feels adequate, the racing tracks are varied enough that you won't get bored. My main issue is with some of the end game tracks. They are really uneven, Abyss being the most brutal of the invitational courses in which the simplest mistake can and will send you at the very end without any chance to recover any lost time. You will have to keep trying until you get every turn at the correct speed in order to succeed. Personally I've tried that particular course for a few days straght until I got everything right and I still felt that it was just dumb luck that I've had finished first. It can be somewhat frustrating near the very end with some of the tier 3 and invitational courses but don't let that phase you out. With enought patience the no. 1 place is never impossible.
