The thing about Star Wars vehicles is the best bit might be when they blow up. Think of all those TIE Fighters hitting the walls of the Death Star trenches, or those Stormtroopers with the boxy helmets in the forests of Endor, discovering they have a fatal redwood allergy, or basically anyone driving a podracer who isn't either a horrible wrinkly frogman or a cheery wee lad with a big future in the Space Fascism business. That's still true of Star Wars: Galactic Racer.
Climbing into the driving seat of a Star Wars racing game – and one that comes from Fuse Games, a new studio built by people who previously worked at Criterion, developer of car-crash spectacular Burnout… Well, you'd better believe I'm looking forward to some good old-fashioned explosions.
