Nintendo Life: Star Wars Episode I: Racer Review

Nintendo Life: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace may have been panned by film critics and audiences alike when it released back in 1999, but not everything borne out of it was as big a disaster as Jar Jar Binks. One of these truly rare exceptions was Star Wars Episode I: Racer, a sci-fi racing game developed by by LucasArts. The game was a massive success for the developer, selling a whopping 3.12 million copies; its fortune no doubt boosted by the considerable hype for the film. To put that into perspective, that’s more than both the F-Zero and WipEout series — according to Guinness World Records 2011 - Gamer's Edition — although it’s worth noting that Star Wars Episode I: Racer did release on multiple formats.

I actually dig Hoa's Ghibli style art, I'd try it. Still... so little offered compared to the competition.

RpgSama517d ago

These offerings are pathetic. Tell it like it is, that's why Xbox keep getting crap month after month, all the apologizers.

darthv72517d ago

I haven't played Racer since the N64 / Dreamcast days. Is this a remaster of the N64 or the better DC or maybe PC version?

Petebloodyonion517d ago

It’s the remaster of the PC version
Still has enjoyable as it was back then :)

CobraKai516d ago

I remember loving Phantom Menace so much that I needed this game on N64. It was so fun. I don’t think I ever chose another pod other than Anakin’s

Your average Xbox live gold subscriber is paying $100/year for this service.... Incredible

DankSinatra517d ago

What? Last I checked it was 60 bucks a year. But Xbox has clocked out from their gold subscription being the place to get anything since gamepass is where they’re trying to draw the attention to.

crazyCoconuts517d ago

Not if you are just doing a recurring subscription. There's only one month for $10 and three months for $25. So if you're a new customer and you want to do it for $60/year you got to buy codes and plug them in

CobraKai516d ago

@crazy.
Omg you’re right. I went to their website and Gold is $9.99 a month. That’s insane. I never thought Gold was worth it, cuz the Xbox isn’t my primary console, but last time I had it, it was $60.

This is obviously to get people to get Game Pass which looks more enticing in that regard

roadkillers517d ago

I'm paying 60.33 a year for Gamepass ultimate which includes this. Still would prefer PS+. Wishful hopes, but I'd like to just get a PS5 and have gamepass app option.

crazyCoconuts517d ago

That's the thing.... Average user using list price for this thing is $100/year. Of course there are alternative methods to get subs, like buying cards/codes, CDkeys, stacking subs via the loophole, MS points for using Bing, etc. But your average parent paying for his kid's subscription doesn't have time for all that crap

Deathdeliverer517d ago

Why not just delete it at this point. Give out free movie downloads a month or something. Movies with gold. This is ridiculous.

crazyCoconuts517d ago

Wait, like what kinda moviesxxxxx? You could be onto something here! 😊

Nice, but I was really hoping to see news for a KOTOR port releasing on PS4. Dying to get trophies in my favourite game of all time XD

BlaqMagiq11078d ago

If it doesn't happen you do have the remake to look forward to.

Jiub1077d ago

I'm so ready for that remake

Rebel_Scum1078d ago

I thought it's not coming to PS4

coolbeans1078d ago

Since all of those games are backwards compatible, it's probably an internal dilemma of whether the ports are worth it. Maybe there's even a company rule in place?

Germaximus1077d ago (Edited 1077d ago )

A new bundle that will probably charge full price for games you could have purchased over the past two decades for $2.50? So exciting!
