Based on the podracing sequence from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, the game puts players behind the controls of a podracer speeding through flaming methane lakes, Tusken Raider assaults, anti-gravity tunnels, and much more in a pulse-pounding, do-or-die fight to the finish line.

  • Players can work with pit droids to upgrade podracers for higher top speeds and acceleration
