This is by far THE worst game I have ever played on any system. I don't see how anyone could think this game is fun. The graphics are not good, the map would be better off not even there, and the glitches in the game should not even be an issue...but they are, besides the fact that the game freezes up, running into objects is annoying enough to make you want to snap your controller in half. Please don't anyone buy this game, and hope that they don't try to waste anyone's time with a sequel.
what a disappointment

I was really looking forward to this game but I was deeply disappointed. The graphics were not good for a PS2 game on 4 player mode. The maps wass the worst. Some maps you can just plain get lost and are too big. What you want in a cart racing game is for it to be somewhat easy and have alot of interaction. You just don't get that here. Mario Kart still is the best one I've seen.
fast, fun, lots of weapons, nice characters, cool levels,etc

what is better than a racing game with good characters, like darth maul, anakin, jar jar binks, etc. cool levels, like podracer track, lots of weapons, and a fast and fun game? nothing, just four controlers and four friends enjoying this cool game. Well, this game is funny, cool, and fantastic, problably the best space ship racing gaming for the ps2, but there is a problem: very confusing and too patheticly wierd. When you crash just a bit, you ship starts spinning, what the hell is that? and worst of all the graphics are messy so you can't se very well. What can i say, like collecting star wars games? problably you will like this game, but if you hate messy and star wars games, don't buy this game.
what a let down...

I was looking for a good multi-plyaer game for my friends and I to play. This game was a huge let down. It just was not fun to play. It was boring. We played a few games and then gave up on it. I have not touched it since.

I'm a racing fan, and star wars fan, so i rented this. I did not like it, but i played it a few years ago so i have no memories on this game. I do remember that the levels were filled with junk and the sense of speed was fast, so all you did was hit stuff. I did not like it.

I've never played a Star Wars game I didn't like... Until now. This game was horrible!! The controls were wacky, the graphics were choppy, and the soundtrack was no good. Watch out for this one!!

Super Mario Kart tended to dominate the N64 as the best multiplayer game. So I've been waiting and watching the kart racing games for the PS2 hoping to find one that will give the same level of fun. Unfortunately, Super Bombad Racer falls short.
Remember that kart-racing games are suppose to be fun and childish, so the cartoonish characters with large heads and silly taunts are up the right alley. The large number of special items (forward weapons, backward weapons, boosts, shields, etc.) adds a good level of playability to the game, unfortunately with a bunch of racers everyone is shooting everyone all the time and there's no real strategy involved.
The controls for the game are also very loose. It takes a lot of getting used to as you bounce all over the place and can't make the tight turns you'd like to. The levels are relatively simple and there's not a lot you can do to improve your racing ability on them.
You'll probably play through all 9 nine of the levels in about an hour and then wonder what you're suppose to do. The game quickly looses its enjoyment in single player mode. Luckily there's multi-player mode to come to the rescue and this game is good fun with a bunch of people. Still, I've found after running through the levels a couple times with friends, there's just not a lot of joy to it.
Even battle mode has issues. With so many hit-you-from-across-the-screen-automatically weapons there isn't much skill required. You just need to know where on the level the good weapons can be found and hope your opponents don't. And on some levels, Yoda-who can damage everyone with his special item-can just sit out of the way and slowly take everyone out.
Overall, this is a fun game for a little while, but is likely to sit on your shelf except when you have friends over. It's probably better to save your money and wait for that great kart-racing game to come out for the PS2.
Stick to Mario Cart

I to was looking forward to this game coming since I am a big fan of Mario Cart. Star Wars Bombard racing is a big dissapointment. The graphics are not that good. The background music, if you can call it music, is so annoying. The race tracks are uninspiring. I have only had it for about 4 days and I have allready offered to sell it to a friend. If you are a big fan of Mario Cart, pass on this game. If you are bored and have 50 dollars to burn buy the game.
this gme rules!!

Geez! Who knew Bombad Racing was gonna have deformed heads? This game is pure geneus! If you have 50 bucks on your hands, get this game and hear the laughs you'll get! Kids AND grown-ups, you'll have a super bombad time playing this. And while you're at it, why don't ya blast Jar-Jar Binks into oblivion!
