Star Wars Episode I: Racer Reviews
This might be one of the least impressive visual remasters I have ever seen, but considering how well Star Wars Episode I: Racer‘s gameplay has aged over the decades, I still have to recommend the Switch version of this game to racing fans and Star Wars fans alike.
This is a very straightforward port of a game from 1999. Motion controls are its most substantial update and they ultimately fail to impress. That being said, even the most bare bones port leaves us with an amazing racing game with gameplay that has excellently stood the test of time.
Quotation forthcoming.

Star Wars Episode I: Racer may not be the prettiest game when you’re static, but you’ll be moving too fast to even notice! Presented as a hybrid of the original PC version but with the N64 local multiplayer and a boost in clarity with the HUD, this is the definitive way to play the 1999 classic racing game right now. Although not a very difficult game, you’ll easily sink around six to eight hours into the game as you tackle the four tournaments and strive to collect all of the additional racers by coming first in every race. If you’ve not played this game before, you’re in for a treat; if you have played it, time to get out those nostalgia goggles and take your Pod Racer for a spin!
Star Wars Episode I: Racer is one of the best Star Wars games and comes back to us with a remastering that, although it does not bring great news, implements enough best techniques to enjoy the experience in our time. Both fans of Star Wars games and fans of futuristic racing games will find here what they are looking for.

Star Wars Episode I: Racer was a great game in its time, which knew how to transmit the feeling of speed and frenzy of pod racing to the living room of our house and this port has got that same feeling of wanting to go faster and face rivals in the highest difficulties. An improvement of textures and resolution suits the game well since we have the sensations of 20 years ago in HD resolution.
