This game is exciting at first because the first few tracks are easy and it gets you comfortable with your racing style until the much harder tracks come along. I happen to be a big Star Wars fan and the pod racing sequence was essential in the movie. I have this game on PC already and decided to dish out [the money] for the Dreamcast version. It's pretty much the same, I wish we could play this game online. The bottom line is that I wouldn't say it's the best racing game out there but if you're a Star Wars fan that likes to race at simulated speeds in excess of 400mph+ then ... seems like a wise investment.

This game was fun at first but quickly became repetitive and boring. I was very disappointed. The graphics are not up-to-par with the other DreamCast games that I have played and all of the tracks were pretty much the same. I love video games, but not this one.
It is not as good as the movie....

It starts fun and it last for about an hour or so and then you get hot and restless and it gets old. It has a lack of nice tracks and they are either very easy or annoyingly hard. I was siked about it becuase I am a big star wars fan, but this game was just a plain diassapintment. I would say save your money and get a decent game with better graphics and more addicting game play.
Terrible!, Terrible!, Terrible!

This has got to be the worst game ever. I have nothing good to say about this game. The scenes, the graphics, the sounds, they are all BAD. Lucas should just stick to what he does best, Direct!!

Nothing is good about this game.The graphics are dull,the soundtrack is bad and over that the game's too boring.Don't understand what LucasArts are tryin' to prove by making such silly games.Don't blow your money away on this one.It's no use.
Fun at first, but to difficult later

When I first played this game on my N64 I immediately got awed by the graphics (imagine how it will look in the Dreamcast), however as I prgressed through the game the races got tougher and tougher so I finally gave up. I DO recommend this game but be aware that you will get tired of it. I played it for 3 months, then gave up.
One of the best racing games that ever hit the market!

I havn't played Podracing for dreamcast yet, but from what I've played on the computer and the N64 I think that it's my favorite racing game that I've ever played! It's graghics on the N64 were pretty good so I can't even imagene what the graghics would be like for dreamcast. I think it's a challenging game because you have to buy and sell parts of podracers and it has all the podracers from Episode 1 such as, Subulba (My personal favorite ¦)), Anikan, Gasgano and a whole lot more!
Good Game for the Money

I really liked the game. It's not too tough. Not gory. Not aggravating. It was just engaging enough. ...
