LGR - Star Wars Episode I Racer - PC Game Review

Taking a look back at the 1999 LucasArts game for Windows PCs! Racing through Star Wars environments at nearly 1,000MPH still stands out as one of the more satisfying sci-fi racing experiences of the late 90s.

This game needs a complete and faithful remake with NO loot boxes

You know, this brings back memories, I was one of the lucky souls to work on Phantom Menace, we were on the film set with those pod racers, it was thrilling to see them, they made a pod racer that worked, it was a very fast car that was raised up a meter high and "gimballed" when turning or taking a corner, like a drivable simulator...unfortunately it wasn't used, other than "Anakin" sitting in it stationary. I played this game a lot, the time trials are really addictive. Great video as always.

Played the shit out of this game as a kid, imagine my surprise a few years ago at the age of 28 when i find out it wasnt actually called "podracer" lmao

“Just polygonal enough to be believable...”

You just described my favorite era of graphics, the late 90s through early 2000s, back when part of the fun was staring at the little details in th game environment to see if the developers really pulled off what they were aiming for. Remember how exciting it was when games started to let you shoot little things in the level, like a glass bottle XD

Anyway, thanks for covering this game. It’s one of my all time favorites

Duuude that Watto remix at the end was baller. Also this was one of my favorite games back in the day. Scooped it off GOG recently, still fun.

I used to play this so much when my mom worked at a computer shop in the early 2000s. Also where I was introduced to Civ and Morrowind. Man, games were good when I was kid. Damn you, nostalgia!

Played the hell out of the N64 version of this back in the day.

I hardly ever comment on anything, but Ive been watching for years and im so glad you finally reviewed this one.

[Drinkabeerandplayagameofficial]

Easily the best thing to come from Episode 1 besides "Duel of Fates"

[fattiger]

Remember when there was more Star Wars games than one mediocre multiplayer game every 3 years?

"No money no parts, no deal" i loved the game

Now you have got to do a review of Star Wars Rogue Squadron.

"This track can suck it" is now my favorite LGR moment :)

[seanno]

It’s been 20+ years, and I haven’t found a game that captures the sense of speed that this game does
