The end result is a little like a great big stew with some ingredients you like and some you don't. Pod Racing has the most precise controls of the bunch, but it's too easy to swerve out of control when you stop steering for a second to repair your ship or attack an enemy. Rancor Rampage delivers plenty of spectacle, but subtle actions - turns and small steps forward - prove difficult. The dancing game is simplistic but surprisingly fun, if only for its humor (seeing Lobot take on DJ duties is a treat). Ditto for dueling mode, though it does provide some good combat practice that will help players when they return to the story. It's OK to work through on the fairly forgiving easy mode, but higher difficulties quickly become aggravating. The story mode is interesting and entertaining, but fraught with control problems that make it difficult to navigate and carry out precise attacks.
