Star Wars: Galactic Racer : finally the big racing game Star Wars ?

Speed is the great success of Galactic Racer.

The vehicles quickly give the impression of being at the limit of the control and the circuits demand as many reflexes as of knowledge of the terrain.

The run structure also brings an interesting dimension: vehicle choice, improvements and advantages can change the way in which a series of races are approached.

Some obstacles sometimes appear brutally and artificial intelligence can be particularly aggressive, but this difficulty also contributes to the tension of competitions.

Galactic Racer perfectly exploits the Star Wars universe.

Vehicles have a lot of personality and each planet brings its own landscapes, conditions and dangers.

The environments are not just a set: they contribute directly to the pace and readability of the races.

The realization manages above all to find this worn and industrial aesthetic typical of the saga.

Engine noise, accelerations and collisions immediately give vehicles weight.

Communications, extraterrestrial voices and familiar sounds constantly reinforce Star Wars identity.

The music perfectly accompanies the most intense moments and turns certain racing ends into real movie scenes.

Galactic Racer tells of Shade's ascent to the Galactic League.

The scenario remains above all an effective excuse to travel, meet new opponents and participate in increasingly dangerous events.

History obviously does not have the depth of a great RPG Star Wars, but it perfectly fulfils its role and brings enough context to give meaning to progress.

Between the campaign, different vehicle categories, improvements, challenges and multiplayer, Galactic Racer has a great amount of content.

The structure of the runs also makes you want to repeat some tests with other configurations.

A few peaks of difficulty and some rather long races may frustrate, but the whole remains very convincing.
