When you think of Super Bombad Racing, think Mario Kart ... but instead of little cars, you have cool little Star Wars ships. And the drivers are the various characters - with giant heads! It is TOO cute, and great fun.

There are the regular race courses, where you learn how to drive each character. They're all a bit different from each other, with their own strengths and weaknesses. Try to get through all the courses to unlock secret options and characters.

Like most of these games, though, it really gets fun when you bring on another human. Suddenly you've got a little Darth Maul chasing after a little Yoda, blasting away! With four players it gets even more hilarious.

A relatively short game on the single-player side, but endless fun with friends and family!

Fun for all!

I loved this game ... mind you, I'm a huge Star Wars fan and most likely a little biased. Rent this one before you buy ... I loved it when I bought it, and it's growing on me more and more ... I've unlocked the Galaxy Circuit, the Mirror Mode (which will add challenge down the road when the regular coarses get too easy - it lets you play them flipped around ... what was on your left will now be on the right, etc..), and I've unlocked Darth Vader .... and just today I found out about the Cheat codes to play as Boba Fett in his little Slave I ... and there's also a code to ride in a Trade Federation AAT (Tank) ... and a code to make all the racers into Kaadus (the Gungan's steeds) Which just breathed more life into a game I was still having lots of fun playing ... now, if I can only get some friends over to play the multiplayer mode?!

PS: Win the Galaxy circuit as Anakin to unlock Darth Vader

Those cheats:

Boba Fett At the main menu, enter Square, Circle, Triangle, Circle, Square. If you entered the code correctly, a message will appear saying that Boba Fett has replaced your racer. When you start the game, you will be racing as Boba Fett.

Trade Federation Tank At the main menu, enter Circle, Triangle, Square, Circle, Triangle, Square. If you entered the code correctly, a message will appear to confirm entry. When you start the game, you will be playing as a battle tank.

All racers are Kaadu At the main menu, enter L1, R1, L2, R2. If you entered the code correctly, a message will appear to confirm entry. When you start the game, all racers will be Kaadu.

PPS. Just put the code in again to cancel each of the codes ... hopefully there will be more of these codes down the line?! ... Qui Gone? Han Solo? Aurra Sing? Jango?!

Good kart fun

A solid game from Lucas Learning. It's kart racing in the Star Wars universe. It doesn't add much new to the Mario Kart series, but it is a lot of fun. The tracks are fun, graphics are impressive and the characters are great. Unlock tracks as you go, typical of the genre, which keeps you engaged.

It may not be revolutionary in gameplay, but the ability to be Obi-wan or Darth Maul makes up for that. The large heads, etc. give it a kids' game feel, but it's fun for any kart racing fan.

Fun with great animation.

This game is fun and has some killer animation! I have to say the oversized heads on the Star Wars characters are hilarious! My favorite is Darth Maul. This is a fun cart style game based on the Star Wars Episode I movie with most of the main characters in it (minus Kwai Gon Gin - of course I can't seem to spell this charaters name today! Too much coffee maybe!!) and scenes from the movie as well.

This is a fun game, but I do not recommend playing this game if you have any hand problems such as carpal tunnel as you are constantly pressing on the "x" button to make the carts go and using the toggle stick to steer the carts and it can be very sressful and tiring on your hands.

If you are a Star Wars fan or know someone, this would be a good game to get. It's a little on the pricey side but you can always shop around. Even at the high price it is still a fun game. If you have a local place that will rent the game, I would go that route first to see how the game is place, handles, etc., then purchase it if you truly enjoy it.

This game grows on you, very addictive gameplay

If you have seen any of the trailers or screen shots then you probably have a good idea of what the game will be like.. and I have to say that I wasn't dissapointed. I really liked the atmostphere of the game, the episode 1 setup really provides a good backdrop for a racer.

The characters are also quite funny, each with their own taunts that make it more hilarious. The graphics are colorful and the music goes pretty well with the look of the game.

The only thing I have to complain about doesn't necessarily have to do with any fault of the game, but the 4 player split screen mode can be a bit hard to follow. It's all good once you get used to it, but some of my friends had a hard time adjusting. Also the arena fighting mode is a bit slow paced.

Overall I highly recommend this game if you like kart racers or are a fan of episode 1. The tracks are very well designed and the prospect of unlocking secret racers and such keeps me interested.

a great comic kart racer

From the swamps of Naboo to the planet of Corusant SWSBR covers the star wars universe. Lucas Learning has produced the most innovative kart racer since DKR on N64. All nine of the levels have plenty of eye candy like on Tatooine there are sniping Jawas on the cliffs, dewbacks and the impressive sandstorms. Also there is the option of driving all the courses backwards. I really liked the level designs instead of the usual one huge short cut per map there are several small ones and multiple routes per map. There are nine drivers to choose from(beat the galaxy circuit with Anakin to unlock Darth Vader) and each drives and handles differently. Also each character has thier own taunts and special weapon like Darth Maul throws his lightsaber and Obi-Wan can levitate the closest racer. There are five different modes of play. The Arena mode lets eight racers compete in a free for all on one of four different arenas. The controls were very easy to get used to. You just have to learn over 25 different gadgets to use along the way. So what are you waiting for pick your racer and blast Jar Jar into oblivion.
