    another tip for KOs. Try not to focus on one pod. if you do this, you run the risk of distancing yourself from the rest of the race. I used the first lap to try to hit as many people as possible. dont worry about knocking anyone out in the first lap, just reduce everyone's health. then in the second lap, systematically move from racer to racer. Using EP1 Sebulba is a good choice, because he has the speed to catch up to the next racer after you KO someone, provided the racers are not too spread out. Its also good to try and ram someone right before a sharp turn. good luck.

    The Sullust track is awesome with all its jumps! That one might be my favorite so far. I don't think I've ever played a game that gave a better experience of travelling at insanely high speeds, not even Gran Tourismo.

    I'd rather it be just straight out racing instead of having to get KOs. My just beat the Boonta Eve Classic and he didn't even get the pod maxxed out yet. Does anyone know if you can go back and get the money from some of the race? Do you have to do that before go through the tournament again or can you select any track in the tournament after you collect the rest of the money? I can't play the game all the time cause I don't have the console.



    And does anyone happen to know if there are any codes or whatnot?

    C_3PO I got my copy from LA.

    Zam you have to reset the tournament in order to try again to max your pod out.

    I finally got Maul last night. For the Gamorr stages do not do them in Single mode because you face harder opponets if you have the racer's tourament done. I went back and redid Seb EP1's tournament the racers were easier to pick off.

    My friends brother went and got a gameshark so I don't have to worry about anything, unless I want a challenge by doing it honestly.

    Out of curiosity, do any of the players come with weapons? My friend was saying that in the first game Sebulba had something like a flame thrower and I was wondering if anyone in this game comes equipped to do heavy duty damage.

    I might get a PS2 along with SW Racer Revenge. I beat SW Racer in less than a week, I felt I wasted my money. This game better be challenging.

    I went to the only 2 places in my town that should have had the game, but neither did of course. Still didn't get it out in their monthly stocking of shelves. It's sad when a town of 12,000 has nothing but idiots in it. I'm all for big cities :)

    ONCE YOU LEARN THAT TO HAVE A PERFECT POD YOU HAVE TO RACE EVERY TRACK MULTIPLE TIMES, FOR EVERY POD, THE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THIS IS NOT SMALL.
    YOU GET PAID FOR 7TH-4TH, BUT ONLY ONCE EACH FOR EACH TRAXCK.
    RACE IT ONCE, KO SOMEONE, GET A LITTLE CASH.
    RACE IT TWICE KO TWO, GET A LITTLE MORE.
    JUST COME IN LAST PLACE. ONCE YOU GET TO 4TH, KO PAR AND RUN FOR 1ST. IT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN SEE TO GET A PERFECT POD BY THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT.

    FOR THOSE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING PAR KOS I SAY KNOW THE TRACK. ONCE YOU'VE RACED IT A COUPLE OF TIOMES IN THE TIME TRIALS,(ALSO LET'S YOU WORK ON GETTING YOUR NAME IN EVERY SLOT, NEED FOR THE THREE EXTRA PODS)YOU KNOW THE FEEL FOR WHERE THE NEXT GOOD STRAIGHT AWAY IS. WHEN WORKING A POD OVER, AIM FFOR THE LAST 1/4 OF THE ENGINE, THEN BOOST INTO THE GUY. THE BOOST IS KEY IT LETS YOU HAMMER THEM WITH ABOUT 3-4 HITS INSTEAD OF 6 -8.

    Welcome to the Games Forum.

    A little pointer... you might like to consider not posting in all-capital letters in future. Seeing posts in all-caps tends to get some of the regulars all excitable.

    For those who don't know, the post above me was from MOD man extrodanaire, JP. He dishes out the disciplinary actions. Obey him and you'll be fine. If you don't, he'll take years off you life (and not the crummy ones). ;)

    EDIT: JP, just making sure everyone knows what is shaking ' n ' baking here.

    To whom it may concern.
    No offense entended with my earlier posts,
    I work with a caps key all the time, and tend to be forgetful.
    By the way thanks to all who posted how to get EP1 Sebulba. I'm using him to finish off the KO charts and the best Race times.
    Sincerely-
    Malo Koa aka Jedi_Windshadow

    Thanks jp.

    -----------------------------------------------------

    I've had Racer Revenge since about a month after it's release. I"ve gotten everything unlocked except for Anakin from Ep1. To get him, you need the best lap time for all the races. I've gotten the best lap time for all the races except the last one, "Boonta Eve Classic."

    I've spent the past week using Darth Maul to get the best lap time on the last race, but I can't do it. Does anyone have some tips that can be useful to me?

    I'd really appreciate it. The game is driving me nuts.

    Has anyone heard of any plans to port this to another console or PC? Did it not sell that well?

    I've been desperately hoping for a PC port. If not, I may have to try my luck with PS2 emulation... *shudder*
