Mattyboy, I know you are gagging for SBR, so I thought you should know...

OPS2M only gives it 5/10 in the review. The summary states:

Why we'd buy it:
- Loads of multiplayer options
- Exclellent track designs
- Extremely fast
- A great range of power-ups

Why we'd leave it:
- Unfair, unbalanced single-player game
- Way too easy for experienced gamers
- Cute and cuddly Darth characters? Give over

Graphics: Polished, but Star Wars shouldn't be cute - 6/10
Sound: Saccharine theme and voice samples - 4/10
Gameplay: Fast and fun, but utterly random - 6/10
Life span: Short on replay value except in multiplayer - 5/10

Overall: 5/10

"Fun, until you realise the CPU opposition has an unfair advantage, while derivative gameplay doesn't help either. The Force is weak in this one."

Obviously you need to make your own mind up, but I thought you should know. You might want to read a few reviews - or wait for a demo - before you buy.

I saw an advert for this in PSW magazine the other day, its disgusting. Little Characters with big japanese cartoon style heads. Whoever had the idea of crossing StarWars with Cute and Cuddly Racing should be shot!

Arrrgghh :-(

Yeah, theres a Game store about fifteen minutes away from me!!
Ive also exchanged quite a few games with Electronics Botique before but they tend to rip you off a bit!!

Think I'll keep with it for now but exchange if its necessary!!

No problem.

Do you have a Game store near you? I think they have a 10-day no-quibble returns policy... or they did have. You could buy it and exchange it for something else if you don't like it.

Oh dear - That is disappointing!! I always tend to rely on the Official PS2 mag and they are pretty accurate with there reviews. Hmmmmm What to do??
I may still get it - If it does turn out to be quite bad I suppose I could always exchange it at any time. The thing is there are better games just around the corner though!!
Im going to have to think about this one - Thanks Wookiee, I appreciate it!!

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
