Star Wars: Racer brings all the intensity
and high-speed thrills of the Podracing sequence from the
motion picture Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. The
game dares players to take control of sleek and blindingly
fast Podracers in a series of electrifying and dangerous races
throughout the Star Wars galaxy. Inspired by Anakin
Skywalker’s epic race against the nefarious Sebulba in the
motion picture’s Boonta Eve Classic, the game challenges
players to compete in the perilous outlaw sport of Podracing,
where the object is to win at all costs.
Each Podracer is propelled by two massive jet engines and
controlled from a small cockpit that hovers behind, connected
by 15-foot cables. Speed is the name of the game in Star Wars:
Racer as the lightning quick vehicles are capable of reaching
simulated speeds of up to 600 miles per hour, while skimming a
mere 4 feet above the ground.
Star Wars: Racer allows players to contend as Anakin, reigning
champion Sebulba, or more than 22 other Podracer pilots in the
ultra-competitive multi-race Galactic Circuit, or jump right
into single race mode. Each beautifully detailed Podracing
vehicle can be upgraded with a variety of parts to increase
acceleration, cool engine boosters, and enhance
maneuverability. |
