An abysmal title for a game but still holds up after all these years. They say this got a "graphics enhancement" being ported to PS4 and Xbox One but I dunno lol. The title screen is just a stretched out PNG. The core gameplay is neat though. Racing around tracks, boosting and maintaining your giant engines while knocking into other characters. There's still a taunt function that I never got sick of as a kid playing as Anakin. Doesn't really hold up while I play as Gasgano and don't know what he's saying but still a neat feature. Pretty decently robust game too with 25 tracks and a shop to upgrade all your parts. Also after going through the "story" you get Sebulba who has cheaty flamethrower move. Good shit. Just like I remember. Not as cool as the arcade version where you sit in a cockpit basically but what could be that cool? Worth playing for nostalgia.
