- GameCritics.com - Nintendo review by Dale Weir and Chi Kong Lui, 85%. "From the start, I felt an intended effort to make this game an extension of the movie and I dare to attest that they have succeeded. It delivers on all its promises and that's all I asked for."

- Games Domain - PC review by Chris Ford. "I love it. I'm sure that anybody else would love it as well. It is such a shame, though, that there are a few points that lower the quality of the game, namely the lack of a decent multiplayer experience and the ease of the first two thirds of the game."

- Games First - PC review by Rick Fehrenbacher, 4/5. "If and when LucasArts improves its multiplayer support, this game will be a classic; as it stands, its still well worth the dime for both racing and Star Wars fans."

- Glide Underground - PC review by Kyle, 91%. "Usually I don't like these futuristic high speed racing games, but when I first played this, I was amazed at how incredibly fun and competitive it was."

- MacNN - Macintosh review by Misha Sakellaropoulo, 3.5/5. "Regardless of difficulty, the thirty different levels are well designed and offer an acceptable amount of variety. However, if you're looking for a racing game with plenty of challenge and action, stay away from Episode I Racer."

- Sci-Fi Channel - PC review by Victor Lucas.
