Racer Revenge Brief

User Rating: 8.7 | Star Wars: Racer Revenge PS2
This was one of my favorites for the PS2. It was fast, action packed, star wars orientated, and its RPG elements were a great addition. They had many riders to choose from with unlockables. Once you loaded up a character, you got placed in the lowly races until you could prove yourself worthy.
When you would win races you earned points that you could spend on parts and upgrades to your pod. It was pretty basic, but felt right. Eventually you could deck you racer out magnificently and go around ramming noobs.
The graphics were pretty good, and the sound was great with a big sub pounding. You actually feel like your going fast in this game, which is exactly how i was hoping it would be. They also had a good physics engine running. When you slammed into your oppoenents piece of their craft would come off as they started to burn up. Eventually if you caused enough damage, they would crash and explode into thousands of pieces! It was awesome!
The only thing I didn't like about this game was the repetition. I wished the AI would be more unpredictable, and they would have had alternative courses to follow and areas to clear.
All in all this game was very good, and worth a play by any gamer. Check it out, and by this time, it will be a bargain bin game!
