Star Wars Episode I Racer: Official Strategy Guide

As a fifty year old father of an eight year old son, fascinated with Star Wars and a novice to computer games, I was delighted to find this guide. It not only steps one through strategies for game play but points out lots of terrific shortcuts and player tips. With well annotated maps of each course and clever backgrounds on the drivers and their engines, this books adds to the excitement of the pad race scenes from the Star Wars Episode One film. Only a few pages are specific to Nintendo, while most apply also to PC game players. Much more specific than the game's user manual with wonderful pictures and great advice. This was our first non-educational games (we had to purchases game controller, 3D accelerator and more memory) and our first game guide. I can't imagine we would have enjoyed the game as much without the guide. Bravo!
