Review: 'Star Wars Super Bombad Racing'

Platform: PlayStation 2

(IDG) -- In this Star Wars take on the kart-racing genre, you find the usual suspects -- Jar Jar, Yoda, Anakin, and Queen Amidala -- plus some quite menacing-looking big-headed racers such as Darth Maul and Sebulba.

While the game is filled with conventional power-ups, the racers glide across the nine crazy levels (each based on Episode I locations) using their jumping abilities to explore new levels and find shortcuts. The controls make this game both unique and a little frustrating as you sometimes bounce and float out of control just when you need to make a big move. "Super Bombad Racing" offers enough challenge and replay value to be a good party game for younger Star Wars fans.
