Star Wars Episode 1: Racer zooms onto Switch and PS4

..

Star Wars Odyssey 1: Racer, the beefy blue-blooded podracing video game that was maybe the second deluxe thing to come out of the prequel trilogy hind "Duel of the Fates," has been released for the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch. The game was initially supposed to come out in May, loosely the releasing got pushed back-up indefinitely. Now it's here for $14.99.

Episode 1: Racer is still a excessive futuristic rodeo game, which is as unceremonious now as it was back-up then. Picked Star Wars games effectually the variance of the millennium were galoot attempts to admit the authorization into various genres, usually after opulent success. Racer, however, benefited from more proper source material: a movie arena that go-go like it personalized someday existed to sell a video game in the first place.

Racer spins Episode 1's podracing arena out into a galaxy-spanning motorsports league, zone you trekking from planet to planet playing either as Anakin Skywalker or among among one of the many contrapositive competitors who got a couplet shapeless of screen time in the movie. Its breakneck velocity and wide, well-designed tracks are widely comparable to F-Zero, admitting there's a twist zone you gotta alimony an eye on the dynamism of your individual pods and slow-moving downward to repair them back they've taken too opulent damage.

I've played the Switch-over version for a couplet of hours and I think the game basically holds up, admitting there's good and bad news anyway the sensibility of the port. It looks fine for what it is, running in widescreen at seated resolution and a haphazardly unabating 60fps in handheld mode. The newsprint system has been revamped for modern screens, loosely the HUD mock-up are oddly pixelated. The sound sensibility is solidly scratchy, for some reason, admitting it's not as distracting through the Switch's speakers.

This does finger like a little bit of a brief release, loosely it plays well enough. I'd rather play Episode 1: Racer this way than digging out an N64, at least, and upscale at $15 it's categorically among among one of the more teeming rodeo games on the Switch.
