This game was probably the very first video-game I ever played which I believe I was about 6 years-old.  
   Summary: Basically this is a game for the Star Wars fans who wondered what it was like to be behind the engines of a podracer cruising through the most untamed terrain imaginable whether it be in the desert, in the air, or underground.  This game has no storyline.
   Game play: This is your average racer game which a Star Wars twist to it. You first come in and select a podracer of your choice including Anakin's.  Each podracer have their own strength's and weaknesses, some that a bar rating won't be able to tell you.  Some have better handling, while others have engines the size of boulders, some are more tightly compact making it easier to maneuver.  Your first level starts off with a shortened version of the Tatooine race seen in Star Wars Episode 1.  The further in the game you go the more podracers you earn, the better parts you get, and the more intense the levels.  Before the game begins you can choose what the earnings are (normal, 1st place winner heavy, or winner takes all).  There's no other style of race besides circuit so don't expect any '1st to the end wins' type of game at any point.  Controls are fairly simple A is to go, B is to brake, with the ability to turn your podracer on it's side to get through tight spots.  It gets fairly difficult to use the keyboard after awhile, turning slight turns with a constant tapping of the key will cripple you near the end of the game.
   Graphics: Reasonable, considering what time period the game was created.  Explosives are terrible though, you always spin the same direction the same way when you lose control and are just about ready to crash.  Paths aren't very curvy and frequently are a series of short straight paths pointed at a different direction. Some things are pretty cool though; there's one level where you go in a glass tunnel underwater and you get to see a sea monster floating nearby.  
   Sound: Pretty good, after each race you hear Watto singing 'Cantina Band Music' from the original movie but though it's fun the first few times it gets old.  Podracers have their own indistinct sound but they all get old because they don't change a lot throughout the race.  When people pass each other each player has a few lines they say when either passing or being passed... Anakin calling people slime-o after the tenth time is pretty dumb.  
   Overall: Definitely worth your time and even more so if you don't use the keyboard which will cripple even the most experienced gamers.  Doesn't have a storyline which may annoy a few people but frankly it's fine without it. Get used to hearing the same noises over and over again quickly or risk losing sanity. 
   

That star wars game doesn't look half bad, it definitely looks pretty good, so I might go and check it out sometime. Good review btw. Good job
