Star Wars: Demolition

About

Star Wars: Demolition turns vehicle combat into a chaotic showdown. Play as bounty hunters, rebels, or Hutt enforcers in battles that mix fast-paced shooting with wobbling, tumbling crashes. The PlayStation and Dreamcast 2000 release leans into over-the-top destruction with power-ups that let you blow up opponents or shield yourself from blasts. Split-screen modes let two players duke it out locally while the single-player campaign tosses you into Imperial vs Hutt skirmishes across Tatooine’s dunes. The game’s hook is its absurdly brutal take on Star Wars racing culture. After the Empire bans podraces, Jabba the Hutt replaces them with deathmatch-style contests where survival is optional. Built on the Vigilante 8 engine, it feels rough around the edges but thrives on mayhem. While critics panned the graphics for its era, fans praise the frantic multiplayer and the novelty of seeing C-3PO explode mid-race. A relic for those who miss 2000s arcade chaos.

Storyline

The galaxy is engulfed in a devastating civil war. But on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine, crime lord Jabba the Hutt continues to prosper amidst the chaos. Involved in almost every criminal venture, the Hutt has amassed a vast fortune through gambling, smuggling, and other vile acts. Yet his greed knows no bounds. The Empire has outlawed the dangerous Podraces, but Jabba has devised an even more dangerous underground contest to attract high-stakes gamblers from across the galaxy to his betting parlors on Tatooine....
