It's Jedi Starfighter, by the way. And it's class. So, yeah...go get it.
Cool.

That's probably due to your lack of skill. :-D

Yes I know. But then again, all GBA games are crap. The GBA is crap itself. Everything about the GBA smells of crapness.
> Wipeout's the king of those games anyway.
Ahhhh my young padawan. You still have a lot to learn. F-Zero X is so much better than Wipeout. I own Fusion which is obviously the best of the series (don't tell me it isn't because all the other ones are totally dated now) and it isn't as good as F-Zero X. Not on one player and not on multiplayer. It is good but it didn't last anywhere as long as F-Zero.

Bah! Episode 1 ruled! The game and the film!
You all just didn't like it because you didn't like the film in the first place.
Racer lasting a weekend? I found it reasonably hard on the PC.
And I'm not comparing it, but F-Zero on the GBA is total crap. I'd know, I do own it...unfortunately.
Wipeout's the king of those games anyway.
> Jedi Starfighter demo was very hard.
It was just the time limit. It was easy to destroy all the missiles and a few of the bombers but then I ran out of time. Mind you, I did only try once.
And is the entire game that dull or did they just choose the most boring level imaginable for the demo? I mean, you're shooting missiles! Missiles don't fire back and they move extremely slowly!
Ep1 Racer lasted about a weekend.

Not even that
I remember installing the demo all those years ago, and as usual I didn't bother looking at the controls and played it straight away. Just like in the film, I was left at the starting line as I tried all the various keys, trying to find out what was what. I was lapped by everyone, then I finally knew what everything did so I started after them. And won the race. When a game is that easy, you know it's pants.
You can only lose if you crash into everything in sight, or just don't go anywhere at all
