Team Sonic Racing

very fun. in some ways it's better than mario kart and the team gimmick isn't bad at all

Fast man goes vroom in much slower car but it's ok cause he's having fun and isn't that sort of the point of being on this sphere?

Despite what quite a few of my fellow Sonic fans would say, this is some of the most fun I've had in a Sonic racing spinoff title, and I believe it's one of the best. (Getting this in before Crossworlds, lol.)

Team Sonic Racing is the successor to the great Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed; however, that doesn’t mean it’s a better game. In fact, I think it’s a downgrade in most aspects.
As a kart racer, the driving gameplay is at least good. Turning and drifting are responsive and satisfying, rewarding you with boosts. However, there are no more vehicle transformations, only karts, which I understand, but it’s a bit sad to see them gone.
One downgrade is the roster. There are no more characters from other SEGA games, only 15 characters from the Sonic franchise. The same applies to the tracks—they’re all based on Sonic games. At least the tracks and music are good. Still, it’s disappointing to see only Sonic characters this time.
However, the biggest change—and one I wasn’t a fan of—was making the races team-based. There are 12 racers in 4 teams of 3, and the results are based on the team positions. That may work in online races with friends, but it’s just annoying in single-player. Even if you’re a good player, you’re still relying on your teammates’ AI not to drag you down, and that isn’t fun, especially when they’re often dumber than your rivals’ AI. That’s my main gripe with this game—this team-based approach isn’t much fun in single-player.
And that’s most of the campaign, which is short and features an average story with poor presentation, reminding me of portable games. Other than that, there are single races, time trials, and online modes, but I didn’t try those. Also, you unlock customization parts with a random lootbox-style system, but fortunately, there is no monetization involved. Still, it makes me wonder if that was even considered.
Anyway, I think this game is a disappointment, especially because it was released 7 years after the previous game, and it’s not as good or enjoyable. It feels rushed as well. But it’s not a bad game, and I can still recommend it on sale if you like the genre. Just lower your expectations a bit.

I love playing this game so much with my gf.
It's like a kart racing game with great graphics, requires skill and mechanics, and really satisfying gameplay!
I just wish there was more!

This is the 3rd sonic karting game following Sonic and All-Stars Transformed, and also the spiritual successor of Sonic Heroes.

The game itself plays like the other sonic kart games, but it has a twist, you have to constantly work with your other 2 team mates in order to be able to win races. This was a pretty strange experience when I first started the game, but grew on me over time. It certainly isn't the best, but it is a pretty fun experience, especially when you play online.

As I was going for all achievements, I noticed that the challenge levels will give me a very hard time. And to be fair, they did make things difficult, but I managed to get through them. However, the Grand Prix from the Team Adventure absolutely broke me. I don't understand why Team Rose was so overpowered, even more powerful than Team Dark.

Over all, this is a pretty good choice if you love racing games and if you love sonic.
