7.2 out of 10

Without ruining too much of the movie, we can tell you that the game is based on the epic pod race in the film when Anakin Skywalker shows off those great piloting skills we hear about in the later movies. You have a dozen or so aliens zipping around a circuit in their custom hot rods that all have the same basic design of two giant floating thrusters towing a little open air carriage for the pilot. The design of the pods are amazing. The two giant thrusters are bound to each other by a band of pure energy that keeps them aimed in the same direction and in close proximity to each other so as to allow better control as you zoom along at over 500 miles per hour.

Internet Reviews:

Episode I Racer is a decent racer that gets an added boost from having the power of the Star Wars universe behind it. We thought the movie would shed some light on some of the characters in the game so we could get to know them better. Alas, the only racer besides Anakin and Sebulba that we really got to know in the movie was the pie-face man who stalled at the starting line and lost his four engines in the crowd. The lack of an initial challenge makes it tough to stay with the game until it does get interesting. Maybe, like Anakin, we need a nemesis like Sebulba to get the most out of ourselves and the game
