The questionable sequel and Mojo office joke Star Wars Racer Revenge was reviewed by IGN PS2, and received an 8.4 out of 10. That's pretty nice! According to IGN, Racer Revenge isn't the mediocre sequel that everyone expected, but is instead a fun, polished arcade-style racer.
The review calls Racer Revenge's appearance at last year's E3 "assy," and we couldn't agree more. Out of all the games demoed, Racer Revenge had the smallest crowd (if any) at LEC's booth no matter when we stopped by. It's honestly good to hear that the game may have shaped up so much since:
Always breaking down the essentials of every game it takes on, Rainbow [Studios] has fine-tuned the pods, fleshed out the courses and infused the game with a Road Rash sensibility, adding in bruising pod racer-style fights to the mix. As a racing fan and someone always hoping that LucasArts will live up to its potential on the consoles, I was pleased as punch to play through this racer several times...Whether you doubted Racer Revenge's quality or you knew all along that it would be pure gold (or at least... 8.4 gold), you ought to give the review a read.
