Episode One - Racer Quick Look

by Billy Berghammer - May 7, 1999, 8:33 pm EDT

Mini review time!

Go play it. Seriously. If you are at all excited about The Phantom Menace go try out this game somewhere! Very cool racer. I guess you compare it to Wipe-out/F-Zero style racing, but a bit different because of the sled-type crafts. I only played it for about a half hour, but from what I did play, I liked enough to presale. (t-shirt helped...heh) Like I need another Star Wars game. The controls are pretty easy to get used to, and the crafts (at least the one I tried) were very responsive. The graphics are amazing and I thought the different courses looked spectacular. Not that I really know what they are all supposed to look like, but the one from the trailer looked pretty cool. The music was great as well from what music I could hear (would you expect anything else?), and other in game sound effects were nice too. When you collide with another player it has your sort of Mario Kart-ish "Yahoo" sort of sounds, but I think they varied a bit. I actually couldn't tell. Overall, I think this games worth a look. And another reason to be in the Star Wars spirit :)
