I played this on an Xbox Series X and I have never played the Nintendo 64 version. This was my first time with the game so no nostalgia goggles.
For it’s time it has a great sense of speed and surprisingly the pods feel how you would expect them to.
My only real problem with the game is the length of some of the tracks. A few of them can end up being up to 9 minute races with their 3 laps! Also there is one track that I had to look up a guide for because without a certain character it was very frustrating. “Abyss”.. that’s all I’ll say.
Besides that though I enjoyed my time with this game and I really like the mechanic where you can go to the Junkyard, trade your high-end pod part for the same part but more damaged for a profit and then your pit droids repair the damaged part. I would actually really like to see this mechanic in another modern racer.
Overall I recommend completing this game and going for all the achievements.
