Two Engines. One Champion. No Limits. Climb on, strap in, and experience the pure adrenaline-pumping excitement of the Podracing sequence from Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Take the controls as Anakin Skywalker, or any one of over 21 Podracers, and feel the full-force blast of two massive jet engines at simulated speeds of up to 600 mph. Rein in a turbine-driven chariot through 8 spectacular worlds. Negotiate through flaming methane lakes, Tusken Raider assaults, ant-gravity tunnels and much more in a pulse-punding, do-or-die fight to the finish where anyone will do anything to cross the finish line. How far will you go? • Relive all the thrill and excitement of the Podracer sequence from STAR WARS: Episode I. • Hang on tight - with afterburners on, Podracers max out at a simulated 600 mph! • Race in furious competition against 21+ opponents. • Take on over 21 tracks on 8 unique worlds! • Avoid hazards such as methane lakes, meteor showers and Tusken Raiders. • Spectacular 3D environments. • Vehicle sound effects and epic soundtrack taken directly from Episode I.
