Video Game Reviews of Star Wars Racer Revenge: Racer II

Customer Review: Great game for Pod Racer Fans
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this game for my son and I. We really enjoy the racing type games, especially the Pod Racer game. We have the PC version and wanted to play the newer version. Comes with new tracks, new racers and you can even unlock Darth Vader and Darth Maul.

Description of Star Wars Racer Revenge: Racer II

Originally released for the Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo 64, Star Wars: Episode I, Racer was a decent title with its share of flaws--most notably its control and graphics. The game's PlayStation2 sequel, Star Wars: Racer Revenge, addresses many of the original's shortcomings and is a vastly superior product. Rainbow Studios--known for its strong racers such as ATV Offroad Fury and Motocross Madness--developed this game, unlike the original. The developer's prowess at creating racing games is evident, as this title features much better controls and more compelling races. Furthermore, it receives a nice graphics upgrade that showcases the capabilities of the PS2. This game is superior in every respect to its predecessor.

Game modes include practice, single play, tournament, time trials, and versus. Tournament mode is the bulk of the game. Players can beat it in fewer than three hours and it isn't particularly difficult. Replay value is added by requiring you to beat the tournament mode several times so you can unlock all the game's secrets. Oddly enough, the game's sound--usually LucasArts's forte--is hampered by an unusual effect: at times you'll hear the full Star Wars treatment, as John Williams's score and cool sound effects totally capture the feel of the movies, but other times you'll hear only the sound of your engine. The environmental audio is an interesting choice that wasn't executed very well. Audio and brevity issues aside, this game is one of the strongest Star Wars titles released for a console. --Raymond M. Padilla

Pros:

  • Much better gameplay than the original
  • Excellent graphics
  • Tight controls
Cons:
  • Extremely short
  • Not very challenging
  • Music fade-ins and -outs are weird

It's been eight years since Sebulba was defeated by young Anakin Skywalker, but Sebulba's thirst for revenge has only grown stronger. Star Wars: Racer Revenge brings newer, faster, and even more dangerous Podracing to the galaxy, taking you on a one-way ride to ultimate victory. Jockey for position with a tangle of opponents, or leave the pack behind at intense, nerve-jangling, planet-scorching simulated speeds of up to 600 mph.
