Fly around the track atGet ready for fast, futuristic racing as you strap yourself into a supersonic flying craft and take on the competition. On the track and through the streets, race against a variety of characters, each with their own personality, racing style, and friends or foes. Fly around the track at breathtaking speeds of 1,000 miles per hour in single player and multiplayer action, including split screen, and system link. Unique competitors - From decommissioned war droids to spoiled rich kids, interplanetary playboys to robot political activists, each opponent has their own attitude and style. Take it to the streets - Take your supersonic blade off the track and challenge an opponent to a one-on-one illegal race on city streets filled with ramps, tunnels, obstacles, and more. Develop your driving skills, learn new tricks, and continue to shave seconds off your best times as your experience evolves. Realistic damage - Panels buckle or are wrenched off, hydraulics will malfunction, smoke will plume from the blades, and you'll have to avoid debris that falls off other craft. [Mud Duck]… Expand

    A stylish and spectacular gaming universe.

    It looks great, and the boosting system means that, as a time-trial game, it's fantastic. If your progress wasn't so easily sabotaged by a thoughtless collision, it would be a fantastic racer, too. [June 2004, p.104]

    Hurtling through dark tunnels to suddenly find yourself bathed in glorious sunshine as you emerge the other side is a breathtaking experience that is only superceded by the ridiculously fast speeds your Blades can reach. [June 2004, p.110]

    It doesn't offer anything new to the genre, it's not cheap enough to be considered a bargain-basement alternative to anything, and it has about as much personality as cabbage. [Sept 2004, p.92]

    This game isn't too bad. It's a highspeed pod racer. You can play as an assortment of cool and unique characters. You have to focus 100%This game isn't too bad. It's a highspeed pod racer. You can play as an assortment of cool and unique characters. You have to focus 100% because if you don't you will crash and mess up. It doesn't really do anything different though and there aren't that many different tracks. I wish you could attack your enemies in this game though that would make it alot better. All you can do is a boost ram and it barely does any damage.… Expand

    Honestly very lackluster. It's not the worst kind of racing game I've played, but this one is really too fast, even for a racing game, andHonestly very lackluster. It's not the worst kind of racing game I've played, but this one is really too fast, even for a racing game, and there's very few tracks. Sure there's different ways of doing those tracks, but it's not enough to justify playing the game for more than a few times. I was wondering why it was so cheap when I got it, and now I know. This could've been better if it had more to it.… Expand
