May 6, 200718 yr i dont know about any of you, but i hated the swoop racing in kotor 2. the fact that you had to jump just pissed me off. it took the fun out of it. hell, the first time i was swoop racing in that game, i thought something was wrong cause i couldnt go anywhere after a point. and it was really dark. anyone share my hate? When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you.......
May 6, 200718 yr Lord yes, Yoda would turn into a Sith Lord attempting to play Swoop racing in KOTOR2.
May 7, 200718 yr Yeah - Swoop racing in KOTOR II just plain sucks. Far too complex for a mini-game, and not nearly as entertaining as it was in 1. Also - I've heard that it's broken in the PC version, where you can never actually win - if you ever did well enough to win the game would crash - don't know if that's still the case or not... "Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope. Statement: This definition, I am told, is subject to interpretation. Obviously, love is a matter of odds. Not many meatbags could make such a shot, and fewer would derive love from it. Yet for me, love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticle, and together, achieving a singular purpose, against statistically long odds." - HK-47 "BEEP BEEP BOOP!" - T3-M4 "Rawararr!!" - Zaalbar/Hanharr/...pretty much all Wookies...

As I recall the problem with winning the swoop game on the PC had to do with whether or not you had failed before. If you succeed on your first try it will correctly announce you as the winner, however if you lost and attempted to try again it would no longer recognize any future successes you had. That said I much prefered the swoop racing in KotOR2 to that in KotOR. The new tracks were much more entertaining than those in the original and the obstacles on the course provided a new challenge.
May 7, 200718 yr The only one I can remember acctually doing in K2 was Onderon track, I'm not a big fan of doing it in either K1 but just for a little fun and of course being compulsory on Taris. I dont want to loose my money and the glitches are quite annoying, much more stuff was added in K2 that was really unnecessary and kinda ruined the fun.
May 7, 200718 yr I disliked it. I did enjoy it in the first game though.

May 7, 200718 yr The swoop racing in K1 was quite good-easy enough to get to grips with yet hard enough to be a challenge if you decided to play. The Racing in K2 was very poorly thought out, it feels like an idea someone dreamt up as being better than the first but which no one bothered to test properly. Its too hard to get to grips with and insanely difficult to play. I think someone did realise this at some point since racing in K2 was not required and there was no real help if you decided to have a race-unlike Pazzak which you could practice with Atton. I get the feeling that it was kept in as padding, but secretly everyone was hoping no one would notice it was there.
May 7, 200718 yr Author Am I the only one that actually enjoyed the swoop racing in K2 more than K1? yeah. you are When you are suffering, know that I have betrayed you.......
May 7, 200718 yr Not really, no. I liked the boost pad idea, jump wasn't that good an idea, and the mines were jsut another name for floating obstacles. However, the Onderon track rules. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
May 7, 200718 yr I liked swoop racing in KotOR I, especially the Manaan track. But swoop racing in KotOR II is so buggy you can even get stuck in mid-air and be unable to finish the race!
May 8, 200718 yr I just didnt get the same novelty feeling out of it as I did in KotOR1. But the K1 tracks are so boring!
May 8, 200718 yr I suppose, I think you should race against other swoops instead of just having to do it as a time trial. The only swoop tracks I did in K1 was Taris (yeah, because of course thats compulsory) and Manaan I think.
May 8, 200718 yr I definitely did not like swoop racing in K2. Especially on the PC, it was very unpolished and broken. More frustration than it was worth. Live forever or die trying.
July 31, 200718 yr I love swoop racing it mint! i wish someone would turn it into a separate game like pazakk which i hate!!! Chewy rules all!! Lol!! Chewbacca
July 31, 200718 yr Not really, no. I liked the boost pad idea, jump wasn't that good an idea, and the mines were jsut another name for floating obstacles. However, the Onderon track rules. There were boost pads in kotor 1...and obstacles.....just no jumping....you kinda contradicted youreself.... And KOTOR 1 swooping was DEFFINATELY better than KOTOR 2
July 31, 200718 yr I hated swoop racing in both 1 and 2. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
August 2, 200718 yr It is possible to glitch / cheat the system if you want to win just for the sake of completing it: Just pause the game when you get very close to a wall, then forfeit the match, if you bump into the wall after quitting, it should allow you to win credits and complete the tier
