''Starwinder'' is a sci-fi racing game for the PS1. The gameplay involves obtaining power ups and slowing down your opponents, allowing you to get to the finish line first. The gameplay is similar to those of Wipeout series. There are 10 sectors containing 5 tracks each. They are total of 40 race tracks along with 7 usable ships. For every track competed by the player, a new ship is unlocked. Unlike most racing games if the player can steer off course away from the track at the cost of lowered speed. Players step into the shoes of Connor Rhodes, ace pilot of Earth as he competes against aliens around the galaxy. Each has its own personality and ship. The game features pre-rendered cutscenes between each race. ==Plot== 117 millions of years ago, the Rails, which are narrow long tracks, thousands of miles long, were constructed by unknown life forms, with its purpose unclear. Though, the Rails have red trails on it, that boosts the speed of the ship that rides on them. With their purpose still unclear, they were transformed in massive race tracks, on which the 43 known civilizations of the galaxy compete for the right to be called "the champion". The prize at the end of championship is the Star Sphere, assembled from 43 stones found at each track, forming a near-perfect globe, still incomplete, as it has one piece missing. Five centuries ago, a 44th Rail was discovered, orbiting a dying star, but it doesn't contain the missing piece. Even so, the racers must compete at this last Rail, located at Epsilon Indi. The actual championship welcomes the first racer from Earth, Connor Rhodes, as he competes for the Star Sphere. At the end of the game, Rhodes eventually wins the championship, winning the Star Sphere. It is revealed that he has the last piece of the globe. As he fits it in the sphere's empty space, it glows and exits the ship, departing to an unknown location. Rhodes fastly gives chase, eventually arriving to Earth's asteroid belt as the sphere forms the last hidden rail, made of asteroids. Rhodes races through it to the end, where seems to be a dead end. Both the sphere and the ship collide, leaving no remains as they seemingly explode. The mystery of the Rails is left unrevealed, though some say that Rhodes, before colliding, discovered the secret of them. It is revealed that Rhodes survived, as he was teleported to another place that could be either a different dimension or a distant part of the universe, just before another ship race starts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Starwinder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
