Opening Snide Remarks: Ahh you remember this part! Pretty much the only
good part of the movie! Oh yeah..and when Qui-Gon Jinn dies. There's a
cool intro sequence with a black & white clip from the movie. Also it
rumbles!!!

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: This game makes no attempt to be like the N64 or
PC game. It's played from a GTA-like overhead perspective. Your job is
to travel from planet to planet defeating the local yokels and taking
their pods! There are 5 planets and 5 rivals per planet, making 25
total differant tracks. 

Before you even think of buying this game, know this...this game is
hard! Expect to race a few times per track before you start winning!

Liked: It's fun! I keep coming back for more!
Hated: HARD!!!!!!!Can be frustrating.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Nothin to complain of here! Tracks are nice. Pods
could be a tad better on the track.

Liked: Tracks are nice!
Hated: Pods could be better

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Nothin' much here. Just a  title screen with a
remixed "Duel of the Fates" and the sound effects on the track.
However, when you're racing there is no music.

Liked: Music is Good! Sound effects umm effecting! 
Hated: Music is scarce.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Control is pretty good, A for thrust, B for
brake, left and right steer, up is turbo, down are airbrakes, A+B to
repair. Levels are well designed.
Liked: Controls are easy
Hated: Why does repairing slow you down 200 mph?

****************************************************************************

Improve: Diffuculty controls! Better pods while racing

RIYL: Controls and graphics similar to GTA, Like Star Wars-Racer for PC
and N64

****************************************************************************

Final Words: If you like Star Wars or racing games, you'll probably
like this!
