    Remarkable, really, considering the mess most of the other Star Wars titles turned out to be. But we're not complaining.
  2. It's cool to look at and has excellent sound, but it lacks fundamental gameplay elements that make kart racing the good time that it is.
  3. Introduces a few clever concepts, but its length, with only nine playable courses, and the gameplay flaws such as the ineffective power-ups, loose controls, and the unnecessarily large multiplayer arenas significantly limit the game.
  4. The tracks have enough secrets to hold your attention for a while and the arenas, while too big for their own good, are still a blast, especially with friends.
  5. Not a perfect or original game mind you, just one that doesn't screw-up with its winning formula in any meaningful way.
  6. Just another kart racer. It's really not interesting or fun enough to set itself apart from the million other kart racers on the market.

    Bland and dull.

    While it's sorta cute, the gameplay is slow and bad. The graphics are below average. I do like the idea behind the game though. A kart While it's sorta cute, the gameplay is slow and bad. The graphics are below average. I do like the idea behind the game though. A kart racer with Star Wars characters could have been awesome. But this is below average. Full Review »
